Another intriguing trip down memory lane! You have had such an interesting life!
I also have a passion for surplus clothing, and I like to wear things until they absolutely fall apart. I can imagine the looks on those guys faces loosing the tournament to some kid who can't even keep his shoes in one piece!
Seems even sweeter the victory!
So far it's been interesting at times! :) You are right, running around those courts while all these spoiled rich kids were watching their friends get their asses kick... it was fun!
