Cartooning Around

TennisTitan joined three of his mates on this rainy morning for three sets of tennis at the YTC. Titan paired with Ed 'LLL' Gor for the opener and with Yossi 'on Israeli' time for sets two and three. 'Gimpy Knees' Joe Cruz was a last minute fill-in for Tony 'No Baloney' Guido. Titan/'LLL' dropped the first set (2-6) to 'GK'/Yossi. 'On Israeli Time' continued his exceptional play as TT's partner in the next two sets doing much of the 'heavy lifting' at net in leading Titan to hard fought (6-4, 6-3) victories. Yossi was dominant in his volleys and played near error-free tennis at the backline. As the foursome left the court Yossi was heard to ask Titan, "TT, if Ed can have the nickname 'LLL' in your blog (lean, lanky, lefty) and loses three sets, can you call me 'WWW' for Wonderful, Wiley and Wicked after today's play?" After all, I won all three sets today." Titan rejoined, "Yossi, you would have given the Road Runner fits today. I think the appropriate name should be Yosemite Sam. You are a Semite, aren't you!"
