This happened about five years ago, I thought it was pretty amusing considering I wasn't involved. Here it is I was sitting in the pool room one night and two guys were playing, not a big set maybe for a bean i'm not real sure shortly after a argument breaks out. Soon it seems like they get it resolved one guy leaves the other guy sticks around to b.s. Next thing I know the other guy comes back with a tub and it was rattling WTF!!! Sure enough he walks over to the guy that he had the argument with earlier and pulls out a 4ft rattle snake. The other guy immediately turns white as a ghost and starts to run away to make a long story short no one was hurt thank god!!! After some coaxing it was able to be resolved. Anybody else have anything better then that.
 
That's crazy. I don't know what I would do if I was standing there. Probably run.
 
Not pool related but....

I grew up in the foothills with the Angeles Nat'l Forest outside my front door. I caught and kept baby Rattlers in an aquarium when I was a kid.

My buddy and I were about 18 or so and one day we were driving around town in his newly restored/painted '64 Ford Falcon Sprint. Cool car for us back then and he was happier than a pig in slop with it all fixed up.

Anyways, we were cruzin' around town and drove by this house where the local college kids were having a party. We keep a low profile and just drive by slowly and all of a sudden... WHAM. A rock thrown by one of the older kids whacks the side of the Sprint. All we hear is laughing as we drive away.

We keep driving a few blocks and get out to inspect. Sure enough, there is a nice half dollar size dent in the side of his door. He was pissed and wanted to call the cops.

I had a better idea, seeing as I had lost all sensibilities and was super pissed.
We went to my house and I grabbed my dad's Colt Woodsman .22 pistol. I was intent on lighting them F..kers up. Luckily for my, my brother was home and wouldn't let me take the gun out of the house.

So being the creative person that I am, I talked my brother and buddy into another idea. We would do a drive by not with the pistol, but with a rattle snake!! So I go into my room and grab a little 1 1/2 footer. My brother dirves, I'm in the passenger seat, my buddy's in the back seat of my Dad's '72 Chevy van.

We cruise back by the party and there a few guys sitting on the curb... perfect!!! I lean out the window and throw the little rattler at the guys. As we drive away, I see the snake hit one guy in the leg and the look on his face was priceless as he realized it was a Rattle snake!! I think just about shit his pants.

One of the guys there recognized who we were and knew my family. The guy pressed charges and I could have been in some trouble, but the charges were dropped for some reason. Life lesson's are great huh??

Russ << No longer keeps Rattler's in his bedroom!!! :)
 
Haha. Russ, that was a great story. Not pool related but just the same, an excellent pay back. I bet that they also remembered that one and to this day I am quite sure it is still related by those involved.

Ya, it was one of two times in my life that I have completely lost it 100% and definitely would have killed someone if there weren't others there to intervene.

I am too old and much mellower!!
