"This is My House"

"Well, Ron your half deaf. I had to listen to his crap full bore on both sides of the net." These were the words of Darryl 'Wolverine' Tison to his fellow transplanted Michigander Ron "No Dick Am I" Van Dyck at the conclusion of play at the Blue Crab Key courts this date. TennisTitan rudely introduced himself to another tepid Pine Island soul, no doubt expecting a gentlemanly game ala the patty-cake play at Phillips Park. 'No Dick' and 'Show Me' Klein had come away c0-winners of the prestigious George Moore monthly tournament trophy on Friday Jan. 25th. TT knew that he had gotten a terrible draw that morning when he was saddled with 2.5 females for five of the six minnie sets. Time to set the record straight! Titan first paired with Walt 'Show Me' Klein in today's opener. The 'boisterous blowhard' had sufficient pop on his serve and deftness at net to Waltz to an easy (6-1) pasting on the Michiganders. Set 2 was far more satisfying to the Titan as the 'bloated behemoth' very ably complemented the 'Wolverine' in a surprising take down of the co-trophy holders (6-4). The Wolfman's great hustle and never-quit-on-a-point attitude were keys to this upset. TT teamed with 'No Dick' for the finale and here the miracle ride ended. TT/'ND' fell (2-6) to the superior power and speed of the combination of Klein/Tison. As 'Show Me' left the BCK courts for the final time this winter he opined, "Titan, are you sure you ain't from Missouri?" ''Thanks Walt, I'll take that as a compliment" said the 'eccentric egomaniac' with a shit-eating grin beneath his white beard.
