whoa! Do you live in the 1980's:grin:?!
It's not just slow, it's Torporific!!!!!!
I am re-reading my copy of Byrne's Standard book, and on p 47, he used the word, "torpid" to describe some disinterested spectators of pool shots.
I was surprised that I hadn't noted the meaning when I first read the book way back when, as I used to do. So, I got the dictionary (it's a book, for the young ones) out and looked up torpid. It means inactive, sluggish. (don't jump ahead of me here)
Directly below torpid was the word, "tor-por." It means basically the same as torpid.
But directly below that word was the best of all: "tor-por-if-ic" It means causing torpor.
It's now my new favorite word, torporific.
1-pocket is not just slow, it's Torporific!!!!!!

PS Thanks, Bob, for once again making things real.

One pocket is so slow that a 3 day cricket match completed before a one-pocket race to 3.
One pocket is so slow.....that I saw that link from Bob Jewett in another thread...
...so I went home and made that post...I'd left a guy in a trap....

One pocket is so slow, it'll take them about another 4.6 billion years to make a single rule change.
On a serious note, for a change.....Tramp, please check into AZ.
...haven't seen you for a while.
You can add somniferous to the adjective list...zzzzz
