An Old Saw in Action

The weather cooperated, so why not? The rain had held off. Thus TennisTitan engaged in a third straight day of his passion. TT was the guest of Frank 'Slats' Slattery and Gene 'King' Slattery at Amackassin this evening. Titan was most inhospitable as he managed a three set sweep against the cousins and their partners. In the opening set TennisTitan paired with George 'Chemist' Hauss against 'Slats' and Amackassin stalwart, Dick 'It was just out' (sic) Brukenfeld in a (6-2) thrashing. Set two saw Titan/'It was Just out' eke out a (6-4) victory against the 'King' and fledgling Rob 'Mr. Twister' Mills. The coup d' gras was set three when TT combined with a tiring 'It was just out' and a substituting 'Slats' to complete the trifecta (6-3) and send the 'bloated behemoth' off to his post match refreshments with a smile on his face courtesy of the 'Kings' bar tab. During the post match recap held at the Amackassin bar 'Twister' made sure that the 'King' felt no remorse losing to the Titan twice in the same night. 'King' reflected for a moment and aced Titan the one and only time this night with, "Rob, this is our club, and charity begins at home! Titan needed this a lot more than I did."
