Hi Grady

I'm ready for a good fight. Here's why. When European and Asian players began to come to the U.S. and compete I treated every one of them like royalty. Nobody had to qualify EVER. Now the WPA, the BCA and the UPA are banding together and it even looks like they're gonna make guys like me qualify for One Pocket and Bank Pool.
Let's take a hard look et the straight pool event being contested right now. Earl herring, Jim Mataya and four ladies over me getting an invite. Ok, I can live with that. Rhetorically though, I ask everyone on this respected forum, what has any of the aforementioed orgs. ever done for me or my ilk? Nothing, obviously. It just disgusts me. And don't tell me it doesn't smell of Charlie Williams.
Therefore, next year, I'm going to pick four dates and have "World Championships" at One Pocket, Bank Pool, Seniors and 14.1. Entry fees, UPA or WPA members, $1,000, everybody else $100.
All right, I'm ready. Go ahead and light into me.

While it is disturbing that you don't get invited to their events, {in my honest opinion, you're one of the greatest players in one pocket still living} do you think thats fair to the players? It's your right to organize and charge whatever entry fees you choose. Invite who you want. I know it irks you, just as it would all of us if we were in your shoes.

He might be better served to simply attend the functions and tournaments where he feels that he was overlooked and cast aside and do some of the following:

1.) Light a cigarette and insert the fuse of a cherry bomb in the end of the cigarette and hide it somewhere. When the cigarette burns down, the fuse is lit and the cherry bomb explodes, scaring the bejeezus out of everyone.

2.) Put Super-Glue on all the toilet seats.

3.) Loosen or unscrew the cap to all the salt shakers at tables where his enemies sit.

4.) Wait until the later stages of a pool tournament and casually walk by the tournament chart with a small can of white spray paint and .............whoosh, create havoc.

5.) Take a small bag of raw fish into the room early on and hide it where noone can find it. 2 or 3 days later.... VIOLA !

6.) Stink bombs and stink bugs........ self explanatory.

7.) Find a well built brick wall and bash your head into it repeatedly.

8.) Enjoy your poolroom, hold your tournaments, count your friends, love your lovely wife Randi, enjoy your remaining years... imo
.

While at the tournament Grady could also get a key to Charlies room, let himself in, get naked and crawl into bed w/ Charlie.... Charlie---> "Who's there? "It's Grady..." LOL

You're still the best Smorg...... It won't let me rep, so I owe you one.
