What's in a Name Anyway?

"You better tell Donna to look under the bed for it then" the infuriated 'egomanical egotist' yelled to a departing Carl 'Speedy Legs' Gessman as he sheepishly retreated to his car. Titan had paired with the peripatetic graphic artist in his first two sets at Kinsley this date and suffered two disappointing defeats. Up 4-2 to Lou 'Pistol' Gerencser and George 'Chemist' Hauss 'Speedy Legs' was no where to be found as the 'boisterous blowhard'/'SL' dropped the final four games (4-6) in a stunning turnaround. Banished to the challenger's court the tandem continued their listless play losing (4-6) to 'Happy Jack' Carey and George 'Teacher' Febles that set up verbal confrontation between the 'bearded buffoon' and the exiting 'balding blatherer.' "You forgot to bring your 'A' game this morning, you left it at home" bellowed the 'bloated behemoth' to his unremorseful ("I just didn't have it") partner. 'Happy Jack' came between the two sparring partners, reminding Titan "Take it easy big guy. It's all in Carl's name. He's really 'Spindly Legs,' not 'Speedy Legs' that he begged you to tag him with. And remember his last name is not really Gessman. It's "Out of Gas Man." Relieved of his angst the 'immobile minotaur' paired with Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz for two additional sets and was fully rewarded for his persistence and continued high level of play with a (6-1) thrashing of 'Happy Jack'/'Teacher' and an impressive (6-2) thumping of 'Chemist' pairing with Chris 'Prosac Kid' to complete the day's play.
