True. But it seemed like you were asking yourself. Or a version of yourself.

You know why? Because that's where I got it. We did the actual play at our high school, it was a set of three shows. I was in the other two, my best friend played Hal in Proof. Loved it myselfQuote:

Roger Federer Has Been Killing Everyone for 161 Weeks.
The last time that Roger Federer was not the #1 tennis player in the world, John Kerry was winning democratic primaries, Justin Timberlake had just yanked off Janet Jackson's breakaway blouse, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was dominating the Academy Awards.
That's 161 straight weeks for Federer at being the best in the world at what he does. It beats the previous record, held by Jimmy Connors, who is currently trying (and failing) to teach Federer's personal towel boy Andy Roddick how to carry Federer's big Swiss jock strap. If those efforts had been a little bit more successful, Connors might have been able to protect his record.
That is the most horribly written piece of drivel I've seen since some of the other posts yesterday.
You could have kept that one.
Btw, Federer is currently on his way to beat another Sampras record, it could happen as soon as tomorrow. Sampras once won 16 consecutive tiebreaks, Federer is now at 15.
Sampras' record - 16:
2000
1-2) Dent 7-6(3) 7-6(3)
3) Damm 7-6(3) 7-5 6-4

While Federer is a little bit out of form right now, he does'nt have to play tennis to set new records. He has just won the Laureus Sports Award (the Oscar of sports) for the third time, three times in a row. He is the only one to win this award three times.

Your knowledge about Roger Federer almost reaches stalker-level:P
Nah, I'm just reading www.menstennisforums.com once in a while. And of course the Swiss news is reporting on everything he does as well. ;)
Fredi
Roger Federer just sayd gooodbye to Tony Roche. Good or bad news? Well, Tony was'nt the key for him to be a real threat to Rafa on clay, so any change is a step into the right direction, especially after all the losses this year (four). After all Roger has proven that he can be the best even without a coach, so lets see what happens.
Btw, I had the pleasure to meet the mountainbike marathon world champion today, Thomas Frischknecht ... nice guy, really. :)

Slam #11 for Roger Federer! 5 consecutive Wimbledon wins! Equals Borg record. :)
Fredi
I thought Nadal had that one. Federer just seemed to match him for most of the game but then Federer just manages to raise his game to another level. The point he won to break nadal taking him 4-2 up in the final set was awesome.
Yeah, those two early service games in the 5th where Federer had break points against him, I was getting really nervous but than he upped his level and everything was going smooth from there on. Now he's still unbeaten on grass since his Wimbledon win in 2003, pretty amazing.
Fredi
Well - whoever wins - but it was fantastic match to watch !!!
This rivalry is doing a hell lot of good for men's tennis.
Something like the McEnroe-Conners, Martina-Chris Evert rivalries.
French open - Nadal won it and now Wimbeldon - Fedex.
It will be interesting to see who wins the US open ???
Reaching the final at the USO will be much harder for Nadal. Wimbledon is now nearly as slow as the French, but the USO will be a whole different story. Not saying he can't reach the final, but it will be harder than anywhere else for him with multiple opponents that have a real chance of beating him.
Fredi
Federer just won his 50th tournament. The whole week he was playing kinda bad with tons of UE's, but now dominated the final against Blake. Looks like he found the form to win another US Open. :)
Btw, Federer hasn't lost to an American in over 4 years, it's now a 35 match winning streak, but don't tell Bush or he'll be flagged a terrorist. :p
Fredi
yawn. you're reaching for American jokes now... that's a new low-level of sadness.
Yep. I'm being serious. You've just entered a new level of being a sad, sad person. Congratulate the man on his skill, talent and obvious ability. I'm just happy to have been alive and witnessed the era of Connors, Bjorg, McEnroe, Ashe, and now Federer. The sport is amazing... and your attempt at comedy is equally appalling. My rant is over, respond per usual... over the top, disallow yourself from visiting FK for a long period of time, or throw a temper tantrum that hasn't been seen since I were a child, or around a child.
Simply put... Federer is ****ing amazing, and he's Swiss. I understand your support of the man. Hell, I ain't even Swiss and I support the man. Just trying to strip out the weird, and badly placed American joke.
Besides... Bush is too stupid to understand this man's accomplishments anyway. A 140mph+ serve is a step slower than he was probably driving when he got his DUI.
Since when are jokes about Bush a problem? Everyone makes them, the whole ****ing planet, even many Americans I know. It's like Americans making jokes about the French or the Canadians ... or Florida, it's nothing special anymore. Get over it.
Fredi
I am over it. Just didn't find it funny.
I think you didn't quite see it.
Allow me to make it simple enough to where you understand it.
You reached, reached far. It wasn't funny. Try again.
And in the end, I ended with a Bush joke myself. It's not taboo nor verboten (forbidden). So have at it.
Just understand one thing. It ain't funny, I'll call you on it. And I did.
Now... get over it.
bah. you two are like an old married couple. i think you're both just too bored and need to bicker.
Bush jokes are'nt really that funny, you're right, the situation with him and what he and his friends brought to the world and to the US is just to damn sad.
Fredi
Agree fully.Quote:

And the streak stops at 10.
