Capt. Charlie’s Egg Nog Recipe
Divide 6 eggs, Beat Yolks until lemony.
Add 1 Cup sugar, beating continuously.
Add 1 Liter Bourbon
Add 1/2 liter Rum
Add 1/2 liter Brandy
Beat in 2 quarts Half & Half
Beat Egg Whites until almost stiff and add 1 Cup sugar.
Beat in 1 pint heavy whipping cream.
The above is the original recipe.
When we were little, we'd follow him around until he gave us a sip. I can still smell it. Memories!
Like I said, I tried several times.
My granddaddy was ten feet tall and weighed 600 lbs. of nothing but muscle and bones. I loved him like a rock. He loved me, too. He was my best friend. He died in 1969. I was in the Army and I couldn't come home for his funeral. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "He was like a walking campfire. Men just wanted to be around him."

Kawabunga the lady line should do not drink, and drive because this home made Egg Knog will make you over the limit of 0.04.
Great idea. I have already but will exit this thread permanently and shut the forum down for the night and send up a prayer for God above to work a miracle as needed in Darren’s heart spiritually and medically.
merry Christmas

Granmomma wouldn't let him make it up except right around Christmas. He could handle alcohol, but if he waded in up to his chest with that stuff, there wasn't any telling what might happen. We'd start shucking oysters at about noon. He thought that it was sacrilegious to shuck oysters and not drink egg nog. He had a '47 Mercury sedan. He'd get about half lit and say, "C'mon younguns, let's go for a ride." We'd (big family, lots of cousins) scream and holler and fill her up like a clown car and off we'd go. One year, I think I was 12, we'd been out for a while and he had to take a piss. Up the lane we came. Slowly he turned into the shed...and drove right through the back wall. They broke the mold on his ass. There will never be another one like him.Kawabunga the lady line should do not drink, and drive because this home made Egg Knog will make you over the limit of 0.04.
So I went and played 1P for $ tonight. First time in over a year I hit a single ball. First time in 5-6-7 years I played for $.
I wouldn’t take 25-3 from Alex right now. 25-2 is probably the right line.
It’s truly amazing how bad I played. The guy I played knows me 15 years and we’ve played a lot. He thought I was on the lemon. At the end he said “Wow you really did play bad”. We just laughed. I’d love to say it was the greatest stall ever, but it wasn’t.
I wasn’t upset about how poorly I played as I’ve put zero effort into my own game. I did come with a few very solid moves and that was cool. But zero chance to win.
Was fun to hit balls. I was scared my eyes got worse. They weren’t bad, I just felt like I was rocking side to side. 50-100-200 hours of pool and I mite be ok.
That my story,
Get back to the argument please.

Any chance you will be in Florida anytime soon?

I wonder how many sales Gil Castillo made off of this thread.
Speak for yourself. I know plenty of people who care what John has to say. It's always nice to hear the truthful side of things. I know John personally and he is the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back to help you out. Would Lou do that? I don't think so although Lou would probably go tell you to go pound sand though. I can only surmise that you are taking Lou's side just because John is a CTE user. That's a pretty sad reason.
You don't by chance ever go to Stroker's to play pool do you? Would like to meet up and hit a few if you do.
Good question, I’m in the mood to go in the next 30 minutes. However I have a couple biz deals to wrap up and I’m going to New York & DC first week of January. Then Derby. After that yes next trip is Florida.
I’m going to start playing again, not sure how long it will take to be able to “play” again. I was thinking about it a lot last night. My eyes weren’t too bad-which I was happy about. I’m not sore this morning, my back was good. Of course I’m 55, 56 in a few days but I got a little left in me still. Honestly I was scared when I went-I didn’t know if I could see or how I’d feel the next day. All-good
To say “I’m back!” Like in COM is a big stretch, but ya I’ll play a little going forwards, gambol.
Happy Holidays

Where are you at in Florida??
Apologies if this already was mentioned, but it does not seem like the match is on your channel John. Here is a screenshot of the playlist from how it looks on my youtube account. Only the last 1 minute from day 1 is visible. The other videos are unavailable. Youtube changed some settings a few years back that affected older videos, IDK if that is what's going on. Edit: ps this was not meant as a dig on either side. YT does weird stuff at times and its very likely John didn't even know the videos were hidden until someone went looking for them, informed Lou, and he started the other thread.
