you know why its easy to get a line on some guys.its because they actually won things and were top players.
all you are is hu that talks about how youd play anybody.
family guy is back on and trust me its more important than anything you got to say to me.
John,
I have made no bones about not being much of a pool player now. However while you are coming with this you have ducked everything I sent your way including an offer of cold hard cash to produce any of your alleged sources that knew me. As I have said many a time in this thread, the only name I used when I was shooting pool was Hu, pronounced Hugh. Others hung nicknames on me but since I was just fine with Hu I never used any of the nicknames myself. Because of that I tended to have one nickname one place, another one another place. If your people weren't figments of your imagination I could find out if they were lying in about two minutes by asking a couple of questions as soon as I knew what they claimed as to where and when we played. To dime me they have to know at least the handle I was called and what I looked like at that time.
It isn't that hard to try to get a line on me, contact Danny Medina. Ask him about the guy he played on Plank Road north of the Baton Rouge airport when he passed through town. We parted as friends and I had a standing invitation to take a ride with him when he was in his prime. You see the picture in my avatar, that was me in '88. I don't remember if I played Danny about then or a few years earlier, close enough to ID me though although that picture looks a little woollier than I did in the flesh. We played on a bar table in a little place that barely had room for the two tables and a bar. Seems like Danny was driving an old Malibu at the time.
I heard second hand that Johnny says he doesn't remember me. It's possible but if I snapped the eight ball three times on the break calling the pocket to start the match and never made another ball it would stick in my mind. We played the same place as Danny and I.
I played Mike Massey in a joint on Airline Highway years before that. Doubt he remembers it, the only thing I remembered when I saw him a few years back was that he was pretty obnoxious when he was drinking. Definitely not knocking Mike, he and I have both had a lot of changes in our lives since then.
Anyone that knows me just from shooting pool back then and claims to know my full name is lying from the jump. Most people gambling on the road were big on fake names, Danny originally introduced himself as somebody else. Without all the easy access to check things that we have now I ignored names for the most part except as a handle to call somebody while we played. I didn't use a fake name, I just used the nickname I have toted for most of my life. It was on a handful of my businesses too.
I went to great efforts to keep people from getting a line on me then and I surely don't care if you can't get a line on me now. We both know that you were bluffing when you made the claims earlier as you pretty much admit to in the post I am responding to now. I notice that you aren't jumping to try to get the easy cash. I'm far too old and gimpy to be a threat to anyone so all any alleged source runs any risk of is being embarrassed in public if they are found to have been stretching things. Your locals don't exist and until this post you didn't even know where local was to me in those days.
I don't know what your fascination is with Family Guy, I could guess but that wouldn't be kind. Anyway, see what you can dredge up to try to divert from the fantasies you have been spinning about me and getting called on. I'm leaving out of town early in the morning and I'll check on your fractured fairy tales Sunday night or Monday if I have time. So far you have proven that every claim I have made is true with your tap dancing in replies.
Hu
