eta: why, that picture is hysterical but I cannot see them well enough to see who they are--who are they?

Here's the larger pic.

Supposedly it's Vizner & Damm, but I really don't know. It looks like them.

I see that James has lost his Nike contract. I wish he'd grow his hair back because he looks ridiculous with that silly headband on his bald head. Penis head indeed.

Checking in.

I've had no problem with the RG website. A little problem keeping the feed on Radio RG.

After yesterday's stellar line up of Dinara/Rafa/Fed, today seems like a bit of a let down.

I see Baggy is out. Shame how he's just faded away. Santoro is losing as well. So sad.

ETA: HAHA JMac. Safin is on Chatrier tomorrow. Nadal plays tomorrow, but no Federer.

They were also discussing that Rafa *gulp* may have a knee injury. Some discussion of odd looks he was giving Toni during the match and that he wasn't as quick to the ball.

I missed that discussion, but I had wondered if something was wrong. I know he won in straights, but he didn't look particularly dominating.

Baggy is out, Santoro is losing.. to Rocus. Andrei Pavel is well down too. Penishead is losing, a slight consolation there.

Disappointing day though.

Ooh, Dokic won, beating Sprem. Yay.

[mooncreek]

Eek! Fabrice is not handling being the favorite on Lenglen very well.

[tikigirl]

COME ON, SANTORO!

As for Penishead, I could care less. Every time I start to like Blake, I think of the J-Block and it's all over.

[apocalipstick]

Fabrice isn't just losing; he's getting owned. Blake. Gah. Isn't it time for him to retire? And take his Sideshow brother with him?

Since I'm bored with the Blake match, I was looking back at the Haiku thread. I thought it was worth mentioning that apocalipstick once referred to The Gimeldouche as a "goblin-faced crapbag." HEE! That made my day.

[apocalipstick]

tiki, is it really egotistical of me to say just remembering that one made me giggle and people started looking at me?

I can't SEE the tennis, just watch the scoreboard. It's so frustrating. I scoured the OOP for tomorrow. I love me some red clay. I just DO. I want to go to Europe and and travel the entire clay season, ending with a 3 week stay in Paris. I need to start dating wealthier guys...

ETA: Fab broke to start the third set.

[tikigirl]

If I had thought of "goblin-faced crapbag," I would certainly be egotistical about it, apocalipstick, so go ahead and congratulate yourself!

So I have to watch Blake instead of Santoro. Why are James' clothes always so ill-fitting? I mean, how can his shirt be simultaneously too baggy and too short?

Yeah, I got nothin'.

[apocalipstick]

Come on Mayer. BREAK BREAK BREAK. I want Blake out. I am such a bad American.

ETA: Blake needs tailored shorts. His shorts make his legs look stork-like. If they tapered them just slightly, it would do wonders for this look. And scrap the headband. Go for the Gasquet backwards hat or the bandana, but out out bad terry cloth!

Santoro is up a double break. I hear channelsurfing has good live feeds. Have you tried?

[apocalipstick]

YES!!!!! Mayer broke to take the second set! I think mentally, I'm punishing Blake for Roddick taking out that cutie Jouan yesterday.

And if one more person I know tells me how nice Roddick's parents are, I might just scream. They may be the nicest people in the world. If Roddick weren't a star athlete, his behavior would get him fired or sent to anger management classes.

www.atdhe.net/6854/watch-grand-slam-roland-garros - has Fabrice's match. For now anyway.

[tikigirl]

They're showing Santoro/Rochus on ESPN2 now. Is it wrong that I just started singing the Fisher Price "Little People" theme song?

I want to run away to Tahiti with Fabrice...
