I got a good idea... let's come up with a gay concept that causes everyone's inner 2-year-old to come out so they can cry about labels that don't mean squat.

Excellent idea Spidey !..But there should be a label for "Greatest Cartoonist", reserved for you !...I would pay you a BUNCH of $$$$, to make one about my award winning, 2013 'Post of the Year' In case you've forgotten,..here it is !
Watchez; Congrats to SJDinPHX for being the 2013 Winner for Post of the Year.
Having never been formerly introduced to Mr. Wiley, I feel I have come to know him through this forum...Using very little imagination, I do believe I know how a casual introduction might progress, if were we to meet someday, at, say DCC !
SJD.."Hi there, (I extend hand) my name is Dick"
CJ.."Why hello (grabs hand, pumps furiously, but avoids eye contact) my name is CJ Wiley"
SJD.."Yes, I thought I recognized you from your pictures"
CJ.."Well yes, (chuckles).. when you've won as many tournaments as I have, theres bound to be a ton of pictures around."
SJD.."Actually, I meant YOUR pictures,..on the AZ for......" !
CJ.."I was also captain of the Mosconi Cup last year !..Can you believe they expected me to wear that stupid team jacket ?..Those are NOT my most flattering colors !..What was your name again" ?
SJD.. "Dick, D-I-C-K...You may know me as 'San Jos........."
CJ.."Uh, nope, never heard of you..(looks perplexed)..Where ya from Rick ?... By the way, did you know I was also the 1996 ESPN World Champion" ?
SJD.."Seems to me, I hea......"
CJ.."I am also the originator of 'TOI', the greatest aid to pool player's ever invented ! Sorry I don't have time to give you a lesson now."
SJD.."Well, I may hav..."
CJ.."Do you play pool Dirk ?..No offense but you look like you might be old enough to have played a little 'two shot foul' nine ball"
SJD.."Yes I am, but I preffered to play one p...."
CJ.."I thought so !.. Can you believe some idiot on the forums, is trying to say one pocket is a more difficult game to learn ?..How can anyone be that stupid" ?
SJD.."Well, I......"
CJ.."Did you know I was a black belt, at 'Tai Kwon Do', and a Martial Arts instructor" ?
SJD.."Yes, I believe I did hear someth........."
CJ.."Tiger, Michael Jordan and Mark Cuban, are my regular foursome at golf (when I can get away)...I hate to disappoint them, but sometimes my business empire gets in the way...Hank Haney has been coaching me, he says I'm definitely PGA tour material" !
SJD.."Hmm, but......."
CJ.."They really enjoy my company, because I also know about all there is to know about 'The Supreme Being', the hereafter, the thereafter' wrestling holds, and other important stuff like that !"
SJD.."Very impressive, but what does that have to do wi.........."
CJ.."Well, its been nice meeting you Doug, but I have to run now..Mary wants to take some photos of me, with Buddy, Efren, Hopkins, Archer, and all the other greats of the game !..I don't have near enough pictures to wallpaper my house yet...We'll have to chat again some time."
SJD.."Yeah, its been a REAL pleas......."
Do you see any on the list I compiled (with the help of AtLarge's prior list) that
you do not think should be considered a Pro ? In fact I'm going to bump that thread
to the front page by posting that question on it now.
I agree additional categories, doesn't fly.
I think that any person on your list should send a PM to Mike Howerton asking to be put on the list if they want that designation. It seems that your list contains people who at one time were a professional pool player. Some of the people on your list may not be active any longer and may not consider themselves a PRO PLAYER.
One of the problems that you have is where do you draw the line? What designates a professional pool player? If these names are good for the label, then who else might make the cut?

SJ, I would also pay to see a Spidey Cartoon with that dialogue and a bit more added to it.
Good material so far.

Yes Hogman, There is certainly lots of room for more levity !..I am sure Spidey could fill in the blanks. :thumbup:
Can anyone say 'Ghost Writer from St. Louie!'
Palmerfan,
I'm guessing you've never been more wrong in your life.
CJ and Freddy the Beard constantly call/called attention to themselves, did you ever "straighten them out"? I doubt it.
P.S. I liked Freddy and like SJD.
ONB
Me too bud. I think CJ would be a good sport unlike .......... Who prefers flying his rainbow flag rather than being outwitted
If Willie Mosconi was still living, he would be 101 years old.
Now, if he was posting on AZ, would anyone begrudge him the Pro Banner?
I think we should all recognize the history of our sport....
...honor the greats.........and SJD is one of them.
I owe you a PM, Joey....I won't forget.
Oh, and just so everyone knows, in spite of San Jose Dick being stuck in the middle ages of pool, ;-)
I don't think anyone should begrudge him the Pro Banner either unless it is the owners of this website.
I still think that anyone who wants to have that designation should ask Mike for that banner and they shouldn't be forced to be simply called a Pro Player.
PM's from you, anytime. :wink:
JoeyA
Joey, I have a couple of questions, since I'm relatively new on this site.
The Pro Banners have been in existence for how many years? Why is it suddenly an issue?

....I showed by using his own statements so opinions won't matter. It is also blatantly apparent you will defend him no matter how wrong he is, and no matter how transparent his self esteem issues are....I was pointing out a monumental narcissistic post by a man dripping with anger, envy and the feeling he has been disrespected/forgotten.
