just wishing my wonderfull girl a very merry happy birthday:smile::smiling-heart: you didnt think i could post:wink:

I remember them playing a couple times. King Kong was a good 8-ball player as well. I believe that King Kong beat him once, and Rodney beat him once. I think Rodney lost more than King Kong did. But back then, I would have to say that that was actually a pretty close game. Even in 9-Ball...

Just got woken up to the bad news, horrible news. I've known Rodney over 30 years. We had some serious battles back in the days. He broke me, I broke him, he broke me, I broke him. One thing about Rodney, he had a lot of staying power. Would not quit unless he was broke. Very seldom he...

I couldn't help myself reading this particular thread about the one liners. There's a lot of players that I've run across that had some famous one liners, myself included. I always had to throw in some type of sarcasm to whoever I played. It was just my nature. That's how I rolled. Not to...

Just a little Christmas tip to my friend Toupee. I've been reading that you're trying to play left-handed. I turned it around when I couldn't get no games right-handed, as you know. The key thing to playing opposited-handed, starting out, instead of trying to grip the cuestick with your...

You know, I've been sitting here trying to keep it all to myself how the USA is this, the USA is that, how the Europeans are this, how the Europeans are supposedly so superior. First of all, it's one race. It's a team event. I mean, cut the USA some slack. The USA just didn't show up in this...

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind. I just wish David could have played me with a big cueball on a barbox, a small cueball on a barbox in '76 to '82. Then we could have moved to a big cueball on a 4-by-8 playing 9-ball. Then we could have played with the little cueball playing...

I'm not stopping about anything. That table was a gaffe table, and I'm sticking to my guns. One time, he made seven balls on the break. I'm not saying he couldn't win. He did win. But I did play him after that and dusted him off. It's funny you come on here, what you were complaining about...

Had to wake up one more time to read this again. I'm really getting tired of it. About Dallas, maybe David won 6,000, but I know for a fact, Will was betting 800 to 1,100 a game on the rail. I know he was betting Sonny 500, and that was just one bet of several. Does David remember that? I...

Well, I woke up today, and the first thing I read was David Matlock versus Keith McCready. Whoever that guy is continuing to drag my name in posts with David must be a pretty good friend of David's, but he doesn't know all the facts or have all the facts. Just for your information, first of...

All right, Dick, you win. I forgot about the scotch doubles. Of course, if my opponent is left-handed, I will get him on the side of the ball where it's easier for him to make it, and there's certain angles where the left-hander will have problems. I understand that. There's a lot of people...

It's the same thing with a right-hander. They don't play roll-out like they used to, so it doesn't really matter anymore. My game went down to the 7-ball, Dick, when they changed the rules, made it to where a sucker could win.

I used to gamble with left-handed players and right-handed players. There wasn't as many left-handers that had firepower, only a few, where it was more a right-handed game. But for that being said, I would take no opponent if he was left-handed or right-handed any differently. I would push...

I'm glad to hear my man Dennis Hatch got the invite instead of Corey Deuel. Dennis is well-deserving. He's put in his time, put in his hours. He's been there in tournaments quite recently, where I believe Corey has been very selective or maybe out of money and can't get to them all. I don't...

Believe me, I would like to come out of retirement for a little bit just to see if I still have it. I'm hoping to come out and play in a couple events, sooner than later. We've had a couple bumps in the road. One of them is our new dog. Our dog gets car sick when he drives in the car, and we...

To tell you the truth, I've never really had a devastating loss to where I would want to quit playing. Maybe take a break for a day or two, but that's why I have other avenues to be able to make money. Pool was not just the only thing that I relied on to make money. There was one occasion...

I've known Vera Cruz for years. He actually played with me back in the '70s. On a bar table, I was giving him the 8 and 9, which was a real tough game. We played many a sets. I win some, and I lose some. He is a real scrapper. As time went on, I got to know Vera Cruz a lot better. Over...

Hey, Gary, I remember you beating me once, but I didn't know it was twice. I was giving you the 8 and the 9. Everybody has beat me somewhere along the line, but you always seem to pick your spots pretty good. I know back then, if we could have played day in and day out, which I know you...

I've been very curious watching Jennie type all this stuff about the Bonus Ball. I have understanding about the game, Bonus Ball, but I don't understand the politics behind it. I know for a fact that Greg Sullivan tried to help those people that are running that Bonus Ball tournament, sent the...

Bobby Cotton is an old-time campaigner. He was around back in the '70s when I was just starting to come into my game. We used to spar together, played a little one-hole, and needless to say, his bar table game was real tough as well. He played just a hair under Joe Salazar on a bar table back...
