Unexpected Pleasure

"Olla, Gigante" was the greeting the 'bloated behemoth' heard as he entered Kinsley this afternoon to watch some amateur tennis. It was none other than 'Lil Papi' Saa - with racquet in hand - looking to play one set of singles. Who could say no? Not this Tennis Whore. So back to the car to fetch the spare racquet and the sun glasses (sorry no camera). 'Lil Papi' gave me all I could handle in the 40 minute set that had the 'boisterous blowhard' come out on top (6-4). Papi declined a rematch but Titan was pressed into action in the doubles match he went there to watch. Subbing for a departing Vladimir 'Russkie' Kartsev at 5-2 TT got the job done, even though it went to a tie breaker (7-6 [4]) as John 'Neck' Manzi's partner. A frustrated Bill 'Electrolux' Ching and Chris the 'Prosac Kid' invoked the words of the late Jim McKay at net as the 'egotistical ego maniac' accepted their plaudits. "Titan, twenty minutes of you on the other side of the net gave us both "the trill of victory, and the agony of defeat."
