I need a Stolichnaya

"Titan, I think your dog ate the bagel" groaned Vladimir 'Russkie' Kartsev at the conclusion of play at Kinsley this date. 'Russkie'/TT had paired for three sets against the tandems of 'Happy Jack' Carey (first set), and then Lou 'Pistol' Gerencser with 'Big Al' Dio Dati. As always, Titan's fortunes are tied with the ephemeral performance of his net partner. 'Russkie' could not find the mark initially and the 'bloated behemoth' anguished at 1-3 down in the first set. (Can you see, "the look" Titan reserves for under performing partners as you read, 'Slats')? It made the (6-4) triumph over 'HJ'/'Big Al' that much sweeter as TT's consistency was inexplicably matched by the 'White Russian' as the set progressed. Indeed, the 'Caucasian of the Caucus' exceeded expectations in set two as 'Russkie' led the charged to the (sic) 'booblick' (6-0). Set three saw 'Russkie's game leave more quickly than he fled the broken Soviet empire in '92. Finally, 'Pistol' found the range, 'Big Al' supplying bullets instead of blanks, as they worked over the 'immobile minotaur' and 'erratic immigrant' in the (3-6) finale. As the teams met at net 'Russkie' opined, "Titan, I hope you enjoyed the bagel while it lasted. Me, I prefer a shot of Stoli when I get home to forget about you!"
