"Champions aren't made in the gym."

[GeoffWilliams]

I don't like pit bulls now, even the good ones I look upon as a lost breed. My wife also hurt her hand, in that battle, and was refused medical coverage, when she disclosed the ligament injury. LIfe throws down lots of pit bull attacks. Jula still smiles and is happy, something that dogs are good at, accepting reality.

Didn't I see you once in a Vegas cocktail lounge wearing golf shoes and covered in dinosaur blood?

"I feel the same way about pushers, as I do about syphilis."

"There may be flies on you and me, but there are no flies on Federer/Nadal/Joker/etc."

"Never trust a referee in a rain coat."

"He wandered into a barbershop and asked for a hair cut. He wandered onto a court and asked for a victory, and neither once thought he might be turned down."

"The sound of music floats down a dark street. A young player looks out his window onto the street and wishes he was Nadal. His wish and the sound floats down to the freeway. A drunk sleeps under a dark overpass. Another subscriber joins tennisplayer.net, and reads my posts."

"No matter how much I wanted the strokes/tactics/in shapeness/mind I needed to win, there was some devilish current dragging me off to inconsistency, blasting, emotionality, and too much food and alcohol."

"You can teach an old dog new tricks with new treats, a perfect string job, and a pro frame."

I knew that was you Geoff by the stylish golf shoes. Hunter is looking down and approving your post.

Stotty I want to see that cat.

[GeoffWilliams]

Ha, ha, ha. I'm the only one on here who can make you laugh! Here's a shot of some of my early luxilon string, when they included a purple O ring with every set.

Bring on the Cat...

Ok Stotty...the moment has passed. Bring on your Feline Friend. Now it is about Geoff being Hunter Thompson. Anything goes!

[stotty]

Ok...meet Ronaldo

[GeoffWilliams]

[stotty]

Ronaldo says "Very Funny"...

[johnyandell]

a handsome lad

[GeoffWilliams]

Ronaldo says "Very Funny"...

I think he said, "Very delicious.", not, "Very funny." Beautiful boy cat.

Champions are not...oh forget about it!

"I feel the same way about pushers, as I do about syphilis."

I feel the same way about politicians as I do about syphilis. It's just too bad that they cannot be eliminated with an injection.

Pushers are a symptom, they are not the disease. Mere pawns. They are symptomatic of a much bigger problem. They are a product of ghetto economies, supply and demand for drugs in the suburbs and a completely useless, ineffective, hypocritical and corruption riddled drug policy. Come to think of it...politicians have their hands in all of these things too. Our fearless leaders.

Hunter Thompson you are not, btw. Don't quit the day job. This thread really got away from you...I thought you had something here for a moment. In the end it is too much to hope for. Oh well...champions, dog blood and dead mice.

[GeoffWilliams]

Pushers have as much to do with the economy as you do.

[johnyandell]

Let's hope we can all hold it together better than Hunter.

[don_budge]

There are "pushers" and then there are pushers...

Pushers have as much to do with the economy as you do.

"Pushers"...oh, you meant guys who are pushing the ball back, those guys who keep the ball in play as their rule number one, two, three and four and don't give you the type of ball you prefer to play, waist high with good pace, thereby testing your patience. Pardon me for the misunderstanding. I couldn't understand how pushers could be equated with syphilis. Pushers can be a little irritating like something you have to scratch or itch, but hardly the ilk of syphilis...in my opinion. I admire them, pushers that is, in a way...for their patience. Afterall, patience is a virtue and there is so little virtue in the world today.

I stand behind the comments about politicians and the other type of pusher, though, and thank you for the opportunity to express them. Even if it was a misunderstanding.

Was it Johnny Depp who played Hunter Thompson in the movie that took place in Las Vegas?

[johnyandell]

Did you see Bill Murray as Hunter in an earlier version (my opinion way better)
called "Where the Buffalo Roam" ? Loved that one.
