UFB!
I WON THE CUE!!
I cannot believe this. First, I checked into that site. I found out they do a streaming thing at least every Tuesday night. My work has me in a hotel room every week, so this was great news.
Next, the commentators are actually funny and intelligent. And they goof around real time with the chat room goofs (me)
Next, the actual pool was great! I spent last week in the first row watching the US Open 9 Ball Championship, and I must admit, it was mostly boring, due to slow play. These guys all played quick. Maybe not US Open caliber, but much better caliber than me, so I got an even better idea of what I should be trying for.
Next, the banter back and forth on the chat site, while watching the match live, and while the commentators live referencing our posts was cracking me up!
It was magical as they answered live in their comments, questions I just asked in the chat room.
And when I posted a stupid joke, they referenced it and laughed (if it was funny)
The funnest part was all night they were giving away a bunch of t-shirts, and ONE JUMP CUE. All along, I'd as a stupid joke pretend to be the guy who just won the t-shirt, reminding them that I needed XXL.
Then, they announced the Jump Cue WINNER, JDLOUGH! ME!!!!!!!
I was sure it was a joke. I'm still not entirely sure. But either way, I won a cue, or the entire internet played a joke back at me after all my fake t-shirt wins.
I know the rest of the chat posters got quite a kick out of my "WTF" "R U Kidding ME?" Posts.
At any rate, I had more fun in this crappy hotel room watching this on my laptop than watching the US Open 9 Ball Finals from the front row.
Thanks, it has been a blast.
I'll be checking out that site next Tuesday,
Jim
PS. I guess now I have to find a cool pic to use for my avatar. This may take a while.....
