Jez is crushed because now he has to wait a little longer to be a trophy husband.

First thing I said to my boss was 'well I can't quit yet!'

I haven't been working at this place for a year, and she said 'do you want to quit?!?'

Lol.

Thanks to everyone for listening to my whinge :lol:

To be honest it wasn't a bad week at all, I only worked 3 days so that was great!

Being the old guy in the group is such a painful experience. I'm a week from 38. My soon to be wife in a month is 28. Our friends are all barely 30s.

I don't feel like that's an excuse to have never heard of Mitch Hedberg. Or Jack Handey! Or seen Chris Rock standup. Or have seen Ghostbusters!

On one hand it's super cool to have a wife who hasn't seen ANYTHING pop-culture for just about her entire life because her parents are hella Christian and she just grew up never watching movies or TV. It's kinda fun being able to watch every good movie in history with her and seeing her see it for the first time. On the other-hand imagine living with someone who gets zero of your references. Bull Durham quotes are half my vocabulary.

This is quite coincidental.. I'm 34, my fiance is 24, and we're also getting married in about a month. When she told me she had never seen dumb and dumber I didn't believe her.. So there's been a lot of that. It's definitely fun showing her "new" things. Was a little frustrating at first when I would show her something I loved and it just wouldn't register with her.. but now i just joke about her generation being allergic to sincerity and we move on.

Federer is going to have to play to an incredible level to win this match. I would say it's not happening but it just did a couple days ago.

Fun first set

Djokovic is an absolute robot in the baseline rallies. Fed is doomed if he gets into too many of those exchanges.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #209 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 2:10 pm

Djokovic gonna break some Fed fan hearts again today. He lives for this stuff.

Novak doing his best Roger impression from the semis and punting this 2nd set.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #211 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 2:46 pm

Novak is the one that looks tired out there, did not see that plot twist coming.

Bucksfan28 · Post #212 » by **Bucksfan28** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 3:18 pm

My return game would look better than Novak's right now

He's got a legit shot to go up 2 sets to 1 here despite being largely outplayed in all 3 sets so far. Would be a massive escape.

Yep. Just seems wrong when you think about it.

Federer is going be pissed about this match for a long long time.

MikeIsGood · Post #216 » by **MikeIsGood** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 3:24 pm

Fed is absolutely wilting in these tiebreaks. Christ.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #217 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 3:26 pm

That miss from Fed at 4-5 was a **** disaster, holy ****

Bucksfan28 · Post #218 » by **Bucksfan28** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 3:27 pm

Lets **** go!

MikeIsGood · Post #219 » by **MikeIsGood** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 3:28 pm

This one's over. Fed is not beating Djokovic in 5 sets.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #220 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 3:30 pm

LOL, the ESPN broadcast is dying for Roger to win this match. They sound depressed right now.
