Oh how the mighty have fallen
and who says that revenge is not sweet...
Friday June 3rd VLTC, a match was played between Mike Dodds and
Denis Fontaine against Chris Wallace and Brad 'former no. 1 right
waller in the world' Desaulniers. While I happened to wonder by
the Snake Pit (a men's drinking establishment at the club) that
afternoon. The fella's were relaxing after the match having a
drink. In Mike's case probably numerous drinks, in order to reduce
the pain inflicted on him by his best friend Brad. From the right
wall Brad hit Mike (his best friend) on the left wall, that is
correct. Claiming to have attempted a reverse. I looked at Mike
for a response ... and looked again at Mike for a response ...
and after some thought he politely indicated that it would have
been a four wall boast at BEST.
Brad (Mike's best friend) thought it was necessary to take pic's
of the damage and send around to the Lawn members ... please view
if you wish. (pic #1 and
pic #2)
On this Friday, Brad having just won the match and hitting Mike
(his best friend) was full of piss and vinegar or maybe himself
(just kidding). He demanded that I play with Mike against he and
Chris on Sunday. I agreed. Sunday was a hotly contested match,
coming down to fifth and deciding game. At 10-0, Chris was still
thinking that he and Brad could still win. I mean after all it
was only Mike and I, and he was playing with the former no. 1
right waller in the world. Brad of course realized the severity
of the situation and said lets just get a god damm point!!!!!
Well now it is 14-0 and ... Mike hits a ball down the wall that
some how Chris reaches back to float a ball to the front. Mike
then steps up and hits a philly ... game and match. CHAMPAGNE
15-0.
So yes revenge can be very sweet sometimes.
I write this with an incredibly big smile on my face,
