Same old Shtick

"But Tutor, it's the start of a new year for you. It would have been a perfect beginning... an incredible upset but..." lamented the lame-ass libertine.' "Titan, you fail at so many things at life. Why should this be any different" counseled the 'taunting tutor.' Up 5-3 in games with a chance to serve it out against Bill 'Energizer Bunny Legs' Tully and Vladimir 'Russkie' Kartsev, TennisTitan couldn't get it done as he and Max 'Tutor' Tuchman dropped the final four games of set one to lose (5-7). 'EBL' tried to console the 'flatulating fool' by noting that TT had played the set of his life and had continued so in the second set (3-4 partial) and had nothing to be ashamed of, except of course, his assinine behavior on the court. Titan had his flat forehand down the line working, his backhand lob over the opponent's left shoulder on target, shown some pop on his serve, and had gotten to many more balls than usual, extending rallies - all for naught.  'Tutor' attemped to soften the disappointment for the 'disconsolate doofus' by offering his insight: "We got bupkes, stop kvetching Titan! I could just plotz the way I played.

Yenta that she is, the entire Landing will know about our tsuris before I finish my tsvey knish.  Oy veh, I am giving the goyim a yiddisher kop." To wit, EBL' said, mazel tov, Max. 'Russkie' deadpanned, "What mishegas! 'Shalom' my friends as he walked away.
