The Lull before the Storm

TennisTitan joined five of his mates this date to get some doubles in at Kinsley prior to the arrival of tropical storm Hanna. "We came to hear your wind bag mouth and maybe rain on your prideful parade before contending with the storm" rankled Stuart 'Not Espn' Scott as he warmed up with Carl 'Speedy Legs' Gessman on the challenger's court. Titan and George 'Chemist' Hauss had paired for the mornings activities and were in the process of dispatching the tandem of 'Happy Jack' Carey and Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz (6-4) in the first of their three sets played. "I guess my bluster was good enough" reprised the "bloated behemoth" forty minutes later as he and the 'Bunsen burner' man celebrated their second (6-4) victory. In the finale TT/'Chemist' ambled to a resounding (6-2) thumping of an over matched 'HJ'/'Not Espn' that even had phlegmatic 'Chemist' quip, "We all know that Titan has problems with his legs, but who knew his arms are double jointed! How else could he adeptly pat himself on the back while simultaneously hitting his shot with the other hand!!!"
