A little action please.

- Start date
It's the shaved head. I'm actually in great shape to be 41, gymming it four days a week. "Uncle Fester" is funny. We'll see. Eric has now reached new heights in his comedianism (new word for Websters). I have been out of work for a couple of days sick. My asthma has really picked up this year. Had to get an adrenaline shot. I have called him twice. We actually talked last night. He has that big tourney at his place this weekend, so maybe we can all get a good chuckle next week.JoeyA said:First it was Uncle Festez, now it's cronies.
Keith, WTF, do you have that worn out look or something or is Drater just tying to open your nose a little?
JoeyA
Hey E, you're awful funny to be asking for the "seven." If I however, do outrun the nuts, we'll see what picture I post. If I can ever figure out this computer stuff. College degree and still can't e-mail. Anyone know how to post a picture of of Ralph Malph? Preferably one where he looks very sad with some money on a table beside him where my arm is reaching for it. Just kiddin' witcha E. I may hate this game. But, I have a feeling....
I am very much looking foward to reading the results of this one.
Good game?Bad game?Getting robbed hunting up action?Out running the nuts hill hill?
No matter the result its gonna be good reading lol.

I don't like my side of this to tell the truth. I still can't run 4 balls in a row. Just gotta hope Keith dogs the 6 a lot.
That said, when I lose I'll just do what every other AZBer who loses an Internet grunge match does... slink into oblivion, never to be heard from again.
Besides, how is one supposed to beat a guy that literally looks like a cue ball?

You're not starting up on me again, are you? Damn, I get sick, stay out of work, finally start feeling better, turn on my computer at work, and have to deal with this? Man, you're one tough nut. Good luck with the tourney turnout. I'll call you this week and see what we can get going.Drater said:
By the way, what's a "grunge match?" Are you referring to the "sticky" table and the environment we'll be playin' in? And, I seriously doubt, when I beat you (notice I said "when") that you will slink away into oblivion. This matching up will continue just like catching VD.

So this went down last night. It was short notice and we ended up playing two 8-ahead races for $500.
Crawfish talked me into driving to some little dive bar in Raleigh. I packed up my cue, some cash, a pack of smokes, the chick I'm seeing, called a few friends for backup, and hit the highway. 1.5 hours and 1 U-turn later we arrived.
This "little dive bar" is actually a pretty nice place. If I were to hang out in a bar other than my own, it would be this kind of place. Lots of people, loud music, beer, and poorly maintained pool tables. My only complaint is that this place DOES NOT SERVE LIQUOR. I can't believe Keith would talk me into going to a place w/o Crown Royal. Didn't I even say above that my only real stipulation was that the place serve Crown?
As an aside, I'm down on a shot in the second set and I poke some kid in the ass on an adjacent table. We go through the requisite apologizes and he's like "go ahead and shoot". To which I respond, "dude, we're playing for $1000 here, you go ahead. I don't need to be rushed." I literally had to step away from the table before this kid would take his shot. What's up with that? Do people not understand what "playing for $1000" means?
Anyways, the first set started with me getting the called 7. Keith broke the first game, and along the way I dogged the six. He gets out and break-n-runs the next game. He's up two. I win the next 8 games in a row to put me up six, he wins a game, and I win the last 3 in a row. Set over.
Rather than taking my money and running (hell, I didn't even finish my first beer yet) I agree to roll another one, this time even. I must be the best action around b/c I don't know anyone else that will agree to go from getting the called 7 to playing even. Anyways, we had some back-n-forth in this set and Keith finished it off.
The end. I spent 30 bucks in gas, 20 in beers, drove 1.5 hours to break even. It was a lotta fun, however!
Oh, and the table wasn't nearly as jacked up as I thought it would be. Gigantic pockets, but otherwise it played pretty good.
PS: I suppose I need to add that while Keith talks a lot of smack, he's a good guy and behaved himself all night. He had my friends and I in stitches all night. I did have to avoid looking directly at him due to the glare from his head. He really should wear a hat.

And you and Alex Pagulayan should sit down together sometime and discuss your comedy routines. Their both good and entertaining.
Drater, you are SO EASY. :grin:
You were VERY SPORTY to have adjusted all the way to even-up instead of the eight ball, IMO. :thumbup:

Easy action, yeah. And I don't think I was being "sporty" by adjusting back to even. "Stupid" is the word I'd use. I can't tell ya how bad I wanted to take the $500 and drive back home. But despite the number of times I've been robbed, I just don't have it in me to do it to someone else. Besides, I was having fun and playing with the House's money. WTF did I care?
I'm sure Keith and I will play again. And I'll make sure to ask for the spot I really need: the 7 and the last 3.

OK, OK. I got my nuts shot off with the seven. I give E credit. He called. He showed up. He beat me. I appreciate the action. That's why I started this thread. I had a blast.
Eric shows up with friends. The first set lasted about an hour with the seven ball. My friend, that was watching, said that after the first game (we both missed in the first couple due to prelim jitters, I guess) Eric only missed 4-5 balls the rest of the set. Let's see....getting the seven, misses only 4-5 balls in an eight ahead set? Wow. He really showed up and played great. Kudos, my friend. There was a lot of laughing, joking, and the place was packed. I'm sure he enjoyed the night, too.
The next set we adjusted away with the seven and I won the set after about an hour or so, playing pretty well. Hey, it's hard to be down $500 and show up again and perform.
All in all, we'll play again, I am sure. Thanks for the action and talk to you soon.
