Glad I wore my boots today, it's getting thicker by the minute.This is only my personal opinion, of course, but I feel that humor has no place in the cue sports. Pool playing is a serious business and should be treated as such.
In addition, when we as avid and avowed participants in the cue arts allow common joke telling, barroom buffoonery, and other unsavory attempts at humor into this forum, we only serve to embarrass and debase ourselves.
I, for one, have been shocked and ashamed at some of the stories that have gone out as threads here.
Stories such as the girl in the wheelchair, hanging from a tree limb. Ghastly.
Or, how about the midget who invented the two-piece cue? Horrible.
And then there was the guy who lost his penis in an automobile accident. Unforgiveable.
I hope things change. My sensibilities as a dedicated One Pocket player has it's limits.
