OMGWTF gets stiffed in money game...

Check the punctuation, and have someone you trust to read the manuscript and check your editing. My band did some records back in the 80's, and if we had recorded the songs, and went back a month later and listened again, we would still be changing them around.

As for the Stu Ungar comparison, that could very well be the best person who ever lived to compare Keith to.

And one more thing. The hurt people hurt people,,,,,,, you're a smart woman. There are a lot of bitter people out there. Some, who are just not happy with what they have done with their lives, want to cause others problems. You have to just ignore trouble makers, and drama nuts, and go on with a civilized conversation with the normal people.

True dat, Satman. The posting experience here used to be so pleasurable at all times, but I guess these hiccups we all experience from time to time may just be growing pains of a large forum. :wink:

...Still that doesn't mean people can't express their opinions. The same people who gripe about people being a little rough on this forum are the same people who attack someone for offering what forums were built for - opinions. It's wonderful to express opinions but only if we like them or approve of how you state them. JAM and Joey A should start professional pool player quilting bee(sp). Maybe they would be happier.

Great idea! :)

JoeyA, I'll show you mine, if you show me yours! :p

Yeah, i'm going to have to go ahead and hit the good old BS button on this comment.

I just got 1 minute and 1 second...but I ate some pizza rolls this morning which probably deducted about 15 seconds from what I could have potentially done.

When I swam a lot I could hold my breath for 3:10. Now, after not swimming for a long time and not exercising much, I can't hold my breath for more than about 1:30.

I would say most people fall into the 1 minute or less category, which is still more than 10 seconds :p

Looks like some journalist lasted 18 seconds in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LPubUCJv58

I'm sure we'll all be treated to a 3,000-word account of this episode the next time OMGWTF publishes one of here miserable columns. Just hoping she can play pool better than she can write.
Found out about this thread on Facebook and had to come read what happened... and found this post.

Melinda has more talent in her fingers than you do your whole body. She is an exceptionally talented writer, and it appears from your own attempt at sarcasm falling short that you may be jealous. If you don't like it, don't read it is all I can advise.

And yeah, she's also a hell of a pool player.

p.s. I signed in just to red rep you. Yeah, you're entitled to your own opinion, but that doesn't give you the right to be nasty about it.

Your opinion would be worth more if you had the slightest idea of what you were talking about. You know nothing about the JB Cases situation. You should start a subforum called JAM and her same thinking friends ONLY; where we like to dispense our amatuer sociology -saying the same thing over and over - that we learned in community college.

I will pray for you tonight before I go to bed. I know how difficult it is to keep your head up with mini digits. :(

Someday, if you're good, it would be my pleasure to share with you a little bit of that knowledge that *we learned* while attending the university; that is, the difference between the en dash and the em dash, as well as the proper usage of the semicolon. ;)

Roy, thanks for the vote of confidence. :) Actually, the book is done, for all intents and puropses, aside from a few edits for clarity. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to punctuation and content flow. :p

For some people, writing may come naturally, but for me, I can edit a page for three days and still not be satisfied. :embarrassed2:

One thing for sure, Keith's book will be spell-checked and have all the correct puncutation, which should complement the good read. He's the Stu Ungar of the pool world, but fortunately, he lives today to tell his story. :)
I need two signed Copies!!! One for me and another for POP's!!!

Just say when and I will drive by and pick them up! I cant wait for the mail. Especially, this book!!!!!!!

Thanks but no need. I gave up punctuation many years ago when i retired from being a professional writer and editor. don't need it anymore. i usually don't use any but i threw that stuff in because i know how much you like to show off your high school english teacher routine.

by the way i looked up stalking in the dictionary. guess what. the definition of stalking isn't disagreeing.

For sure. I plan on making the rounds to see my pool buds immediately after it's published. Working on a website now, which I'm finding quite challenging. :eek:

I resemble that remark. I AM a pain in the butt.

Mike, I'll try not to spoil your image but after our many emails and private messages, I've come to think of you as a desent guy who has (what you believe) the best interest of cue sports in mind.

But when you post here in the forums, "a pain in the butt" is putting it mildly! :yeah: :duck:

I'll say no more.:p

Why is this challenging?????

Too Many People in the POOL room with Information Technology degrees. One guy owned a computer company in the pool room. He backed Danny Green for years! You just need to come back out and mingle a bit! I am sure we can get you on the right track! Also, you are friends with Mike that runs AZBilliards! I am sure he could steer you around and help you avoid any mistakes or bad companies!!!!
