See, thatā€™s what _I_ donā€™t understand. They keep telling me, ā€œSo-and-so is better on grass.ā€ I _donā€™t_ understand that. Seems to me, if someoneā€™s on grass, itā€™ll be next to impossible for them to win. Yā€™know, the ball will be flying, and theyā€™ll be all, ā€œDude, look at the _colors_ā€, and boom, out in six. I _canā€™t_ see how anyone would do better on grass. Oh, and thanks to Diane and pezpunk! ---

Damnit folks, show some respect! Here you are making tennis jokes, when this thread was started so that we could all go making the exact some points over and over, talking past each other and repeating ourselves in a vain and utterly futile attempt to win the other side over to our point of view. Damnit, if it takes another five pages or another fifty, _we will not be stopped._ ---

Here you are creating sports cracks, when this conversation was began so that we could continue making the precise same points again and again, speaking around one other and duplicating ourselves in an inefficiant and completely barren exertion to succeed the opposing faction over to our way of thing.

I believe heā€™s done this once beforeā€“Iā€™m not sure that it carries any more weight now. Also, I apologize for my profound ignorance about drinking beer for Wimbledon, but I thought it best not to take any chances. Only a few short days ago did I learn that a perfectly good word over this side of the pond has quite an, umm, _interesting_ connotation over there. > [@](#): > > Glad to oblige!
