Irish Stew

"Let's just say, 'You Got Wiener Schnitzelled" chortled Bob 'Kraut' Kluge at the conclusion of play at Kinsley Park. The Teutonic Tandem of 'Kraut'/'Chemist' laid waste to TennisTitan/'Slats' twice this morning in hard fought sets (5-7, 4-6). Sandwiched between these two setbacks TT managed to drop another close set with 'Happy Jack' Carey (5-7) to the Pepsi Truck Driver from Chicago and the maven of the Bunsen Burner. Indeed, the Germanic Duo reigned supreme this date going four for four, counting their opening set victory (6-3) against 'Happy Jack' and 'Big Al' DioDati. As the teams met at net George 'Chemist' Hauss opined, "Titan, perhaps instead of breaking in a new racquet, you should try a new partner." 'Slats' quipped, "Yeah, but who else would want to play beside the 'immobile minotaur.' It's too much work." 'Happy Jack' quickly interjected, "Slats,' you, like my wife, work for the Board of Education. Ergo, you get plenty of rest Monday through Friday. You should be quite capable of carrying the 'bombastic behemoth' on Saturday mornings! My wife, she's rested enough to make me a Black Forest Cake this morning."
