    Are the best pool players also the most intelligent?

    I tried to find out [Wikipedia website and a "google" search] to see what I could find on him [I'm interested in this thread's subject area ... I pretty much struck out. Did you know him? Went to school with him?

    I came back today to reply but "bbb"'s comment caught my eye and I "reallocated" my time to respond to "him/her/they" ... So, I'll try to "double back" tomorrow. [Lotsa stuff goin' on in the world these days and billiards is not the most pressing or important matter at hand]

    I've actually [not "millennial actually" but "actually actually"] been asked by muckety mucks in the world of politics to run for office. Here's my standard reply ... "I will NEVER run for office. To be a successful politician, you can only be a "part-time truth-sayer" or else you will never...

    I just noticed your post, read a few lines and plan to "double back" and read it all. I'm too busy goofing off, etc. and want to give it the attention it deserves. If you will "bear with me" you will find that everything I write in these forums does [at least eventually ✌️😎] apply to the game...

    Hey Fatboy ... I was going to double back on this earlier, but I was too busy goofing off ... Mr. Tevis [I misspelled his name in my earlier post] was once again essentially documenting the pool culture as opposed to creating one from "whole cloth" simply for "literary" purposes in "The Color...

    Self-defecating humor is when I say something that I think people might find humorous and then, before they even have a chance to react, I start laughing so hard that I crap my own pants ... [figuratively, of course] ... at least so far 😂!

    I like to write ... Often I don't take the time to do a good [let alone great] job of "proof reading" and as best as I can tell Lucifer himself is my "fucking" spell checker especially when using "me hemorrhoid" phone from Samsung ... his "boss" apparently does work in mysterious ways, [or is...

    Hey, Fatboy ... Me again. I'm not disagreeing with your statement on the "etymology" of the word pooling as to how pool became the name for the game of billiards. That said ... The origin of the game of billiards was [drum roll please] ... "croquet". It began in the mid 1500's as the French...

    btw, it's hard to tell WTF I look like in my profile pic with all of my fuzzy "Covid" fur [didn't wanted to croak just for a haircut] a friend of mine is a "renaissance man" and one of his many talents is as a sketch artist. a little over a month ago, I "begged" him to give me an example of...

    Thanks, ... Hey, I'll take all the compliments I can get ... I ain't proud. ✌️😎 I don't think the 86 movie was in any way nearly as good either. Never did, but as I've learned more about Tom Cruise {and Scientology} over the years I have no interest in his later work, nor want to revisit the...

    [[note: I have corrected a few typos {"Tevis", not Tevas} fixed 2 or 3 grammatical "oops", and added a line or two]] Mr. Phat ... Unlike others replying to your post I want to treat you with respect whilst "agreeing to disagree" and why I disagree ... For others on this thread, be forewarned...
