Newsflash: yapping dog finally gets off porch, barely wins over traveling case maker. -2014

[JB Cases]

And, yes, when it comes to Lou I am a minor folk hero. In my travels leading up to the match I heard so many negative Lou stories and wishes that I would beat him. I did let those people down but both before and after the match many of them congratulated me for standing up to him.

I doubt you will ever know what that feels like. I take the risk and when I fail I get up and try again. That's how I live my life.

Maybe the following words are completely alien to you but perhaps you might understand them;

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Of course it did...... So no proof of your claims. Who would have guessed?

No idea how I would prove there was no orchestrated campaign.

Ok, so you're another bully. Got it.

Who made you open the thread? Do you need help to escape from the evil people forcing you to read anything I write?

Blink twice if you need help.

And John would an expert in escaping the evil forces of darkness conspiring against, lol.

No chance. I knew from the moment the last match ended that Lou would never play again. Frankly I thought I would win even without putting in the right practice (yes I know) and so I didn't negotiate a rematch in case I lost.

Lou wants to savor this forever. No chance that he takes any chance of losing that.

As previously posted in this thread, I had an offer out there for months, just last year, to play you for $20,000 in St. Louis but somehow, even now, that never registers:

Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

If you are not apart of their 'semi public' thats is OK, also if you have a table and practice 14.1 on a regular basis - your opinion is valuable to me. Please note that I do like Westerns - just not the one schmidt, charlie and the bca are TRYING to produce. If yer a member of john's facebook...

Now you've exceeded the max level of crazy I'm willing to entertain, so no soup for you.

You know, I hate to ruin this whole folkhero thing you got working but I have had a surprising number of people (a lot) congratulate me on beating you -- you are not anywhere near as well like as those voices in your head would have to believe, John.

The truth is that I don't give a shit what you think.

You're here only because you gave enough of a shit to come into this thread and knock me. Haters are fans.

I am a minor celebrity in pool, yippee! And you are a super nobody. Yeah people like you love to hate on celebrities of all levels. Of course you have to look and of course you have to comment because I am larger than your life.

People like you follow people like me not the other way around. And your nonsense about being a sideshow act is just another form of hating. You're unable to look at any of this objectively. You have chosen a side and decided to pile on where you can because doing so is free. Costs you nothing to be a troll but gives you intense pleasure to do so.

The first troll I ever encountered on a pool forum, burtnjall, was just like you, a person sitting at home trying to get a rise out of his targets and getting a chubby every time he did get a response.

You think you're somehow above me as a human but the fact is that you're driven by dopamine hits like everyone else. That's why you're here for the "trainwreck". Only you're not an equal opportunity troll because you know full well that Lou would eviscerate you if you dared to cross him.

Better to be a bully's lackey than to be a target of that bully right?

Someone who really doesn't give a shit isn't here. Remember to clean up afterwards.

Oh, John, you're so silly. OK, here goes...I don't give a shit that you don't give a shit that I don't give a shit, nanner, nanner, nanner, boo, boo!

So there! Now, I'll give you the last word.

You could have done that already though

I got bad news for ya...

pay pal ok?


Back in the day when I was printing $ I’d have sent the 5 dimes just because I could have. I wish I could now. I swear on my moms grave this is true. I was fun when I was stacked up. Im still ok, but I can’t fade 5 dimes on a joke like I could before. Things like this are what makes having $ fun.

How about we all stop. Spend the energy on a little prayer (you pick your Deity) for Darren Appleton. We could all use a little good news this Xmas.

Good call!

Joking aside, it is my fondest hope and warmest prayer that everyone here, and everyone who has passed through these hallowed halls, will receive the grace and the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ during this, the time of his birth, and even forever more.

Sincerely,

Right, like every great "public relations" officer.... Deny deny deny.

It's ok. Doesn't matter because it's done with. No matter how what you claim I failed the number two task which was to win. The number one task of getting six months of solid marketing was achieved. And thanks to you it keeps on going.

Made two sales off this thread today. Thank you.

Yes dumbass, someone hated me enough to get your lying ass off the porch after you ducked me for ten years. So of course there are plenty of others who loved it when I lost.

Is that supposed to be news?

 

[JB Cases]

Darren has my good wishes and will continue to have them. He is universally loved and is a fighter.

Where I grew up, we played a lot of pickup basketball. If you didn't have sharp elbows, you didn't last. A broken finger, a bloody nose, skinned knees, whatever. When we played we played for blood. After the game we laughed and hugged and told some whoppers about Janey, The Girl With The Big Tits. Love is complicated, but it's really simple. To brilliantly shine, a diamond is first cut, and then faceted.

John, the reality is that nobody even remotely gives a shit about what you say or do. To act otherwise suggests the you may suffer from delusions of grandeur and an overinflated sense of self worth.

Truth is, you're kinda like a trainwreck. It's just basic human nature to want to look. You know, to be able to see the blood and guts spewed all over the railroad tracks, and be silently grateful that it didn't happen to them. You're in the carnival and you're the bearded lady. People want to ogle you and be titillated by your weirdness, but they hope you never come to their home.

You're not a folk hero. People don't admire you, John. They laugh at you and snigger at you behind your back and bait you into chasing the next bright and shiny object, as does the largemouth bass.

That said, we all love you to a fashion and we hope and pray that you find peace and health.

could you please comment on what lou says or does for a comparison ?
askin for a friend.....
