Many different variables merge to create pool hall culture. Think of gumbo -- every region and family has its own unique recipe, but the resulting dishes are, for the most part, all good . . . and, of course, hopefully the old saw "the worst I ever had was wonderful" will always continue to hold true. But, I digress . . . I really don't care to undertake a post mortem of pool culture, in large part because, hopefully, death is not at all near. I will assert, though, that the main, or common, ingredient of pool culture, the "okra" if you will, must be gambling, or else I have no idea in the world what I am writing about.
