Early Bird Special

"Titan, I sometimes screw up orders at Captain Con's too. So I laid an egg" commented Joanne 'Canadian Cruncher' Van Dyck at the conclusion of TT/'CC's (5-7) loss to Ron 'Michigander' Van Dyck and Bob 'don't call me' Lavender. Somehow a 4-1 lead, and later, a set point advantage turned into a heart breaking loss for the 'bloated behemoth' and the part time waitress at the Bokeelia eatery. The missed opportunities at net by the spiked-haired 'female flash' and the lead in the 'sarcastic statue's sneakers proved fatal this chilly morning at Blue Crab Key. Set two saw an attempt at a similar comeback that fell a tad short. Titan/'dcm' rallied from a 1-5 deficit to fall (4-6) to the Van Dycks. The matches featured crisp groundies and a panoply of lobs that the wind played havoc with. At picture time Titan bemoaned the fact that 'Canadian Cruncher' found both her serve and volley in the second set sending the 'blogging bullshitter' to his double defeat. 'Michigander' quipped, "my wife works for tips - here's one for you Titan: See the ball; hit the ball, but most of all, run for the ball!" Lavender cracked a wry smile and murmured, "Titan it was 5 degrees in Yonkers this morning - you are a winner today no matter what!" 'CC' chuckled "Titan, you got egg in your beard.'
