Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know next to nothing about tennis, but The Guardian's liveblogger is my new favorite person.

Genius! Steal the rackets from the zombie tennis players. It's their only hope.

It's been a while since the guardian guy updated. I'm getting worried about him.

I love how the IBM Slam Tracker now says:

It's like Y2K for tennis.

I've changed my tagline in honour of the game/Guardian liveblogger.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

8.30pm: "John!" chants the crowd. "John! John! John!" They're either calling for Isner or calling for a bathroom break, or possibly both.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have things to do! Why won't someone win!
