Dear Mr Wilson,
Please don't bump this to the NPR section. Please, hear me out....
Bugtruck is our pal and he's been a very good member here. His post IS pool related for the following reasons.....
1. It has a Diamond Pro-Am table mentioned in it.
2. The cat was near it (another reference to a pool table)
3. The cat came from some college, & every college has, you guessed it, pool tables and people who play pool.
4. The immortal name "Efren" is mentioned, and that's not the other girl's mascot's name either!
5. After expressing condolences to the kitty, Bigtruck tried to write something about Buddy Hall, but his emotion at the time over-whelmed him & he had to stop at "Buddy".
6. I remember when my kittycat, "Fluffy-Luigi" died. It was devastating to see my kids crying. If Bigtruck has any heart at all, it will affect his game by at least a ball for about 7-10 days.
7. Someday, YOUR pet may be possibly eaten by coyotes or wolves. Heck, who knows. Maybe a Bigfoot took the kitty and if THAT is the case, the world heard it HERE first! Think of the free publicity! Pool would be in the news and on the map!
8. It's just the right thing to do to let Bigtruck get some love here on the main forum. It's something we the peeps feel good about, trying to comfort one of our valued buddies.
9. You will probably EARN some good brownie points with the animal lovers that abound on AZB.
10. Bigtruck would let YOU keep a post like that here and HE wouldn't bump it over to the dreaded, desolate, nobody even knows its there NPR section.
The defence rests.
