Drat! DRAT!! Rain delays in London today.
BUT — there is still news. FOUR more of you are now officially IN the game — randomly assigned a player who’s made it to the 4th round.
Check here to see!
ALSO: Winston Churchill/Tommy Haas (GER) has withdrawn from the tournament, suffering from a torn stomach muscle. Reached for comment, Winston Churchill said, “I took pain-killers in the middle of the match and they helped, as did the adrenalin you get from playing a match, but the ultrasound showed that there was a bad tear.”
Sure, Winston Churchill. Suuuure. All hopped up on pain-killers and adrenaline you are. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Really. I had no idea. “British Bulldog” my butt.
Anyway — No breakfast at Wimbledon for you. You’re off to Germany with Mr. Haas, I guess. Eat some strudel; you’ll feel better. Smush some more of those pain-killers in it.
Oh!
Wait! I almost forgot this match-up! Apparently, coming soon-ish, in some unknown rain-free future, is:
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (Thomas Berdych, CZE)
VS.
TYPHOO INSTANT WHITE TEA (Jonas Bjorkman, SWE)
Uhm, Mr. Shakespeare, sir, I’m worried about you — what with those stifling hose and stuffy breeches and that codpiece unnecessarily broiling your boys. I mean, you’re up against tea! TEA! A refreshing beverage! Enjoyed hot or cold! But cold — COLD! — it’s so, well, revitalizing and beneficial and all.
Please do consider, sir, letting your cod swing cool and free.
I’m just sayin’ is all.
Oh my! It’s like being the first one voted off the island! But Tracey, you could call Wimbledon for me. Tell them my stomach’s fine–brain’s a little messed up, though. That would probably end it any way. Well ok, pass the strudel.
Stupid Tommy Haas. Everyone KNOWS you’re supposed to play through the pain; PLAY through the pain.
Shakespeare looks pissed.
He wants to hang cool and free.
What is it holding him back?
I have to admit that I never thought of Shakespeare’s “cod” before this very moment.
And I have to admit, I hope to never think of it again.
“Swing cool, sweet”–um, never mind.
So, if I’m reading the website correctly, the mini cooper has beat out the Sex Pistols? That’s surprising! I would have thought that the Sex Pistols would pack more of a punch, so to speak.
