the story why i'm called "skins" is a short one so here it goes. when i was a boy i used to play football with my freinds and one day, as we were playing, the ball actually started comming apart at the seams and i decided to totally "skin" the football. that earned me the name as skin. i'm called "skinS" now because, not only did the people that hung out in the hall i played at know this but also embelished on it when they saw i would play $100 a rack 9 ball. it was ironic that golf had a "skins" game that was about big money and i think this is where it came from. i stopped playing for money soon after that and the name just stuck.
