TAR 22: Earl Quotes

Baggage

Maybe the airlines thought this would be the best chance to get their ear muffs back......
 
As I was walking into the River City Open one year Earl was walking out. I asked him how he was doing in the tournament. His reply, "I'm walking the wrong direction aren't I?"

I know what you mean. Thats why I want to record some of this stuff. Half the shit he says I think to myself "Don't forget that." Either because its hilarious, insightful or just bat shit crazy.

When you hear Earl talk some of the shit he says makes you think hes straddling a fine line of insanity. Then he will turn to you and say something that makes you think he is a genius. I guess thats why Earl is such a polarizing figure. Either way you look at it, Earl is the man.
 
Justin, did you say once that he said pool tables shouldn't have side pockets ? That really cracked me up! And set me off thinking too! :p Or it might have been Jay ... you guys look alike to me :)

"Earl, the quote of a champion!"

JCIN said:
Ok. I am rapidly coming to believe that Earl could be this world's version of Yoda. By that I mean some of the shit he says make you shake your head and go "WTF?" but then you think about it and say "Damn...that kinda makes sense."

So....just for my own amusement and for posterity I am starting this thread to record all the funny, outrageous, weird and sometimes genius things he comes up with this weekend. I urge anyone who catches one to post it up.

I'll start:

I go pick Earl up at the airport and between there and the hotel I picked up these pearls (pun intended):






"I'm 50 years old. You don't get stupid living for 50 years. If you do then you are just a stupid person."

"We should play pool on a 6x12 table. With a GIANT FVCKING SHOT CLOCK counting down. Tick tick tick....and don't give em enough time. Make 'em RUN to the next shot!"

"I know everything about football. Everything. You ask a football player if he knows what a roll out is."

This is going be an interesting weekend.

For my money, this quote best reflects the true Champion in Earl, "[perhaps, even the reason so many players have admired him (besides his phenomenal playing ability), since his arrival on the tournament scene in the early eighties]!"

I was sitting in the bleachers with Earl, at "The Masters 10-ball,"watching Shane practice, (just before Earl's match-up with Shane on the 10-footer) and he turned to me and said,
"I can't wait to play this kid, look'it how he hits this shot.
He's the only one out there that can hit it like that,
besides me!"
;)

There is the "No filter factor" also. We had just got done with an exhibition I think it was in Alabama. We were just sat around talking and a very attractive gal came and sat by Earl. She was hanging on his every word and soon his arm making it very clear that ifhe wanted things would work out good for him that night ;)
After a while the same gal comes up to me with a strange look and kinda shaking her head. she says "WTF?? your friend has NO game" Puzzled I asked "What you mean?" She says "Do you know what he just said to me???" he said "If you stopped drinking Bud Light you would lose that beerbelly ofyours in just a couple of weeks" She looked at me and shook her head and left. BTW, I don't think she had a beer belly at all. But talk about no filter. LOL.
 
I have a suggestion for Earl's next match. A sit down discussion with Phil Hellmuth. Lets see who can tell best bad beat stories.

Mark keep them coming, that had me in stitches.. You must have more.. Justin and Mark keep them coming, we all love Earl he is a right character.. Some great quotes, brightens the day up
 
Want great Earl quotes??? Get him to stay for the Mosconi Cup and take him in as a spectator!!!
 
Lee, I have been compiling stories from the road with Earl, Johnny, Nick, Buddy. Ihave about 30 stories right now and as I get the chance I write more down. Maybe when I have enough of them I can put a book together. I read through a few the other day and I had myself LMAO.
Glad to see you got your book out, good for you and I hope it does well.

Man, could you imagine Earl in the stands, mic him up.

I don't think it would be a problem getting him to stay as long as his room etc was taken care of but Matchroom letting him have a mic attached might be a problem. It would be hilarious though :)
