fascinating.

Scotland has to be the castle capital of the world and the galaxy.

castle trivia question of the evening:


is this building a castle?

and if it is not a castle, what exactly is it?

 

[ClayDeath]

I see.

I never watched any of the harry potter movies. I should have at least read the book.

I keep meaning to read it.

CD, you are hilarious...how could you have totally missed Harry Potter? Are you just kidding us? You, of the fantasy realm? I'm rather stunned. Perhaps The 300 and any number of games were distracting you.

@Baron Britbox: I tried to start the first one, and it quickly fell into the column of "life is too short," for me. If I had been 16, I'm sure it would have been right up my street. But I'm not. Moving on...

lady mox in da castle.


I am going to finally make the time to read at least 1 harry potter book. I promised my tiny niece that I would.


and then I might even venture out and read at least one lord of the rings books too.




I am worried about our clay warrior lady mox: he better not get injured tomorrow.

we don't need the damn match. we just need to get out of montreal with zero injuries.

I love magicians and stuff but I couldn't finish any of the harry potter movies and i was trying hard :laydownlaughing the main character has a tot annoying face, his little friends look like some of CD's fav rednecks and i hate it when they mix magic with psychology lol

Lord of the Rings is a good read, especially once you get past the first few chapters.

 

[ClayDeath]

good deal baron. I will have to trick my niece.

I will grab a lord of the rings book and knock that one out first. I just need to read one.


my thing is ancient civilizations, economic history of the united states, and the like.

I tend to read mostly nonfiction stuff.

 

[ClayDeath]

post away and have fun guys.


I think I might hit the sack. see you all tomorrow.

think of the castle as your very own playground. just do anything you please here.

just have fun and make somebody laugh.

If you read one Lord of the Rings book then you'll read them all. The first one is the hardest to get into, but once they get out of the Shire, it ramps up and grabs you. The others just get better.

I'm more of a non-fiction guy myself generally.

Does anyone out there think Roger will do the crazy move of
seeking a wild-card in Winston Salem in case, he gets thrown out
on or before QF.

Under normal circumstances, I would not even bother to ask this silly
question. Now, that he needs more matches with the new
racquet (assuming he plays with the new one) to get accustomed
to it, it may be possible. But, still I would give it less than 5% chance.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

With respect to my Q above, I forgot the other option to get
more match practice. He may enter doubles with someone,
perhaps stan.

So, my answer to my own question is no. It is never a
good idea for top players to play in the week before a GS.
As far as I know everybody except Ferrer follows this rule.
