by ponchi101 Bienvenue, Mesdames et Messieurs, bienvenue!, dans ce bar de misère et de...
Ah, sorry. I forget that most of you are Americaine, and you do not parle le beautiful language of les Parisiens. I will try to do my best with this barbaric tongue, but you will 'ave to veuillez m’excuser if mistake get in le way.
Anyway, bienvenue. This cafe will serve you the most exquisite french potions as you will, inevitably, get 'ere sooner than later. Oui, Medames aat Messierus, your fate 'ave been sealed and your neck will meet the executioner's guillotine soon enough, as you foolishly choose a player that will make you suffer miserably berry soon. You wll die the death of the ignominieux, but you can then enjoy our expensive French drinsk and relish on see 'ow your other fellow players will also die.
Our specials are Pernod et Ricard, and we offer a fantastique variety of les fromages.
'ope you death will not be in vain. Salut!
by paulfmcintyre Although it delivered a grisly end, death by guillotine was quick and humane - unlike the Survivor's Pool...

Yikes! Sorry! You saved yourself a lot of pain, though.
by ponchi101 And... le first bandwagon 'as rolled in. I would be a 'ypocrite if I were to say that is does not please me that 'e is an Englishman.
Monsieur Draper, une tableau of 18. This way, si'l vous plait.
by JTContinental Jesper de Jong ripped through qualies so that was not a match I would entertain to choose from
by ponchi101 Incoming!!!
Party of 35... Shnaider
That's what happens when you break your own rules: never pick an unseeded player on day 1. Pick a seed, live to tell the tale.
by New England Nitemare I'm one of those 35.....ugh. It wasn't even close. That was ugly.
by nelslus Mon Dieu! La Petite Mademoiselle Doo Rag doit certainement aller manger du caca maintenant. hé hé.
Give me my hamburger with bacon and a diet coke, please. Rapide! Rapide! Je dois aller pleurer dans mon coca light maintenant.
AND please imagine Little Miss Gorgeous with a sassy little beret on.

MUCH less a hometown Frenchie WC. Still, Shnaider just won a flippin' clay tournament- beating Navarro in the final. While, previously, Paquet had best been known for the following....
AS if logic has anything to do with all of this....
by ponchi101 And I am going down again with Tabilo.
Lost to a WC and a Q. If I had not worked those numbers a long time ago, I would say to never go against them...
by ashkor87 Am away, on a vacation so won't be playing...in Morocco right now..will get to London in time for Queens...
by Tolulops Double-cheeked and I didn't even make it to Monday. It was bound to happen. I don't think I deserve a drink.

Oh, no, we do. Lots and lots of drinks. The Tabilo-Shnaider special: one shot of vodka, and some cheap Chilean wine, for me. Over and over. I don't know what you think is appropriate for your demise.
by karlovicfanclub For some strange reason, I picked Krejcikova to defeat Golubic, who hadn't won a main draw match in months. My stupidity earned me a trip here on the first day of the tournament.
by ponchi101 I would have made that pick too, if I had not been so dead already.

I'm in the Schnaider section, too. Never pick a player in a bandanna, I guess. Double-cheeked on Day 2 with Norrie. What's worse is that I don't even care. I'm Krygios now. A Moscow mule and a cold cider, please.

What a zinger!!!!
I still care. I just recover faster. And being at work helps.
Your mule:

by ponchi101 If our numbers are correct, Samsonova just drove 20 out of 37 people over a cliff and into the fires of 'ell. 60% of the pool.
And no, oui will NOT be serving more Moscow Mules! We will prepare a delicious cocktail for all these poor people. With vodka.
Edit: and it is a Friday, Bloody Russian Friday, with Rublev also going down and taking 13 souls with him.
by Jeff from TX I guess I'll have to go with a White Russian thanks to Samsonova - and, no, I'm not being racist.
And it does have vodka in it, Ponchi

Oui said no more Moscow mules, but you people insist:

by Fastbackss I put Samsonova as a placeholder - intending to come back and change it.
Forgot about it, realized it when I woke up - and alas it was too late.
Off to the libation hut!

by nelslus In honor of He Who Has Brought Us Together Here Today- the forever pouty, bratty, excuse making, dour and Always Even-Tempered Rublev- please just bring we 13 losers a wilted and darkened piece of lettuce, and a warm glass of water. We all deserve far worse.

Anyway, you are an American. Let us know if you want to savor something more palatable. -->

I mean, we pride ourselves of being sophisticated, and we strive to please comfort our clientele, but, since you asked and we are also a group of pedantic a*****s (you know us, Parisians), you get what you asked for:
