That’s very cool!
Was that a misprint?
Crimson Tide moment, like in movie.

Fatboy, had a funny experience last night in a dive poolhall in Paris that made me think of you. Tray of balls given to us was missing the 13 ball, but had 2 orange 5 balls instead. We were playing 9b and I didn't notice it until we were almost done, and it was a crazy after work outing with tons of good food, good wine and chaotic gambling in a mixture of broken English, French and Chinese, and I was too buzzed to think to take a picture.And the 5 is orange
Great story. Sounds like a fun night. Of all my travels I’ve yet to make it to Paris. I’d love to go.Fatboy, had a funny experience last night in a dive poolhall in Paris that made me think of you.

Yeah, beyond fun night. First time playing pool in EU for me - surprising amount of pool halls in Paris, plenty of trouble to get into, sadly I'm on a tight work schedule. Early AM train tomm to Munich. Have 1 maybe 2 free nights there and I'll try to find somewhere to hit balls there also, but my work colleagues are obsessed with catching the tail end of Oktoberfest, so we'll see... (I've been there done that, and totally not into it)... If you have any recommendations for places with tables & $$ games there, please let me know.
@OP - sorry for the sidebar. Cool wood sign & nice friend!

It’s down stairs there’s a bowling center there as well. Fun place not far from the center of Munchen. All the places I played by the main train station are gone in the last few years. They were pretty rough joints.
Bella is close to where you’ll be and it’s not bad. It’s down stairs. You’ll find it, it’s there I promise
Not happy?
