Topic: Veerle Pieters vs Cindy Li - 1/11 / Conversation About The Match

Since we’re on an Alias kick, perhaps one could take time between volleys to check out JJ Abrams’ talk at TED

Dang high school Latin class. They could have at least told me it was a dead language!

The master-stroke having been swung
The Kox took it – start to the gun
Only trouble I’m in
Is I don’t know what’s “Fin”
Is it French for the match being done?

The serve, it was cute, but not much
The tapping helped out a touch
Then came volley two
Said “I’m better than you.”
Now the ball in hit 3’s just a crutch.

We’re all in Photoshop here, right? Nobody slipped in some MS Paint or Paint Shop Pro, did they?

I’m just kinda disappointed with this match. Gorillas, fire, 1982 wallpaper, boomboxes – these are all good enough things. But when I saw that first volley, my inner gamer chuckled with delight and I was ready to enter a rich, geometric plane of color and collage. Instead I get a bumper sticker for some overachieving primates? Not what I thought was on the menu.

Elements that need clarification:

  • Teepee or Wigwam?
  • Cliff, Butte, or Bluff? Or just Water?

Hey Coudal – did you know there was going to be a wigwam in the serve, or are you just precognisant?

We went from a dreamy, funky, psychadelic world to something I’ve seen before on a Fark forum.
