Ugly.
Let’s nudge Ugly out of the way first.
Operator? Get me wardrobe!
(Admittedly, in the context of pool streaming, invoking the word ‘fashion’ does a disfavor to the entire textile industry. Yikes!)
Alex is way too cute to wear a gangsta cap. Doesn’t need it, shouldn’t wear it. Backwards or forwards. Or edgewise or otherwise.
That minor Alex-aside aside … Great Scott!
To begin … well, where to begin? Was my calendar app off? Was it Halloween? Perhaps I accidentally jiggered my notebook settings to Garish?
(To be fair, if color blindness were involved, please delete the ‘attire’ portion of my mutterings.)
Forget the gaudiness … let’s think corporate-think for a sec.
In the ‘business formal’ world there is a reason why most of the WASP guys -- as they dash (flop-sweating!) to a Board meeting -- wear over-the-calf dark socks to accompany Hugo and Giorgio and Emenegildo. Comfort? No. Warmth? No.
It’s to avoid that icky-tacky flash of pasty-white flesh.
Nuff said.
As far as the Bad …
Well, free is free, and free one-pocket is even better. But did we really need a potty-mouthed commentator?
It’s not that I was afflicted with the vapors or anything … I know all of the words. Or most of them. A lot of them anyway!
But, to me, it demeaned the stream a bit. As did the lack of ball-count awareness during many of the games. I had to go to work, so maybe that part improved later in the match?
But those two factors -- cursing and score-inattention -- indicated a commentariat casualness that detracted from my enjoyment of the match. A little bit.
Gosh … it’s one-pocket. It’s Alex and Scott. It’s 20,000 simoleons -- and that ain’t from nothing!
Saving the best for last … the Good.
Good for Point Of View Pool! Many thanks for the free stream! Thanks for the time and effort and investment to make the match available to the pool world. Your splendid coverage overshadowed any minor grievances I had.
Good for Alex!
Good for one-pocket. There was some nice exposure, decent audience numbers and a lot of ongoing conversations in the two pool sites I visit. Overall, a positive exposure for the game.
In Me ‘Umble Opine anyway!
Appreciation is my life,
Sunny
P. S. Sadly, the enjoyment quotient for many viewers was no doubt diminished because I couldn’t figure out how to elbow my way into Chat. So sorry!
P. P. S. Does the IRS monitor on-stream gambling matches? Hope not!
P. P. P. S. I read somewhere that Wall Street indexes predicted nine of the last five recessions. So don’t feel bad if you bet on Scott!
P. P. P. P. S. Should we shorten the WASP acronym to ASP? Ever meet an Anglo-Saxon Protestant who wasn’t White? Just a thought!
