What? All I can say is I’m overly tired.
Okay. Matches to watch:
THOMAS MORE (Marcos Baghdatis, CYP)
VS
THE MAGNA CARTA (Novak Djokovic, SRB)
Also …..
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (Thomas Berdych, CZE)
VS
MONTY PYTHON (Rafael Nadal, ESP)
Good luck, gentlemen. And paper.
This just in: Today is the anniversary of Thomas More’s execution for treason. Weird, huh?
Carry on.
I just love this matchup. Will Shakespeare against Monty Python. I think they would have either been great friends or had blog flamewars if they lived at the same time.
Uh-oh, Thomas More.
sarahk — I know. That one is cracking me up.
We’ll see if that paper is a sheet of trickery on the court. . .
And WOW, what a great match between More and the Magna Carta, right?
sheila, wow. that is some crazy stuff.
Now see, if they’d had stuff like this when I was in school, I would know ANYTHING about history, art, and classic lit. “Ok, kids, go home and watch The Confederacy play The Union in the French Open. Come back tomorrow with a pithy rundown on the match in Civil War terms.”
I get a picture in my head of “Bill” from the old School House Rock on this one. He’s just a little older with worn edges and a darker hue.
