"may day, May Day, MAY DAY"

'Where have you been Titan, hiding?" Such was the greeting your 'bloated behemoth' received this date from Max 'Tutor' Tuchman upon entering the YTC for his final indoor season match. TennisTitan, still weary from a nine day trip to Florida, showed no ill effects of being away from the racquet since April 19th and/or being stuck in the air and an airport for 12 hours. Indeed, the 'blogging bullshitter' enjoyed one of his finest on-court performances of the year when he paired with the 'Tutor' for two scintillating sets against old nemesis Joe ' Gimpy Knees' Cruz and the redoubtable 'Big Al' DioDati. 'Tutor' was on fire this afternoon, dominating from the back court with running forehands and consistent backhand volleys that undressed the adversaries. TT/'Tutor' narrowly escaped defeat in the opener when they halted a strong comeback attempt from 5-2 down by 'GK'/'Big Al' to take the set (7-5). Set two also belonged to the ecumenical duo. Knotted 2-2 in games the boys exploded into a (6-2) rout. With TT providing occasional pop on the serve and controlling the alley with his forehand passes a bewitched 'Tutor' flashed signs of Tullyism at net when he buried four consecutive volleys at the feet of a bothered 'Gimpy Knees' and a bewildered Big Al.' As the boys met at net for the final time 'Big Al' grudgingly noted, "Titan, your game today was especially appropriate. Your Jewish partner knows nothing of Ascension Thursday. If ever a game 'rose to heaven' it was yours today! To wit the acerbic 'Tutor' announced, "Goyim, check your calendars. Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. You got yours from the ecumenical duo!"
