"Ah, Titan, can I suggest some 'L's' for you?" opined Ed 'LLL' Gordon upon completion of play at the YTC this morning. Perhaps, lethargic, lugubrious, lassitude, languid for your better educated readers. But LOUD, LAZY and LOSER is what even the illiterate would know about you! The 'bloated behemoth' joined with mates Yossi 'Israeli Time' Newman, 'Lean, Lanky, Lefty Ed Gordon and Hanibal the 'Caballero' for some indoor tennis on a raw, rainy, Tuesday in Yonkers. TT paired with the 'Argentinian Horseman' in the first two sets and finessed his way to convincing (6-4, 6-1) victories. Hanibal was way off in his game, and with the 'egomaniacal egotist' keeping his foot off the gas, these two imbalanced sets were closer than anticipated. 'LLL's outburst was no doubt triggered by the bagel (0-6) administered to him by 'IT'/'Caballero' with the 'immobile minotaur' at his side. The fourth set ended 4-3 (on serve) emboldening the often Three Time Loser (LLL) to live in hope, only to die in despair. As the boys met at net Hanibal commented, "Titan, muy boca grande, pero mas talento pequeno." 'Israeli Time' queried, "Hanibal, did you tell the Titan, 'putting the key in the ignition is not enough - you must first have gas in the tank and then step on the accelerator!"
