High School!!
Flunked Spanish twice, probably because it was the last class of the day and I was at the Villa Park Bowling Alley playing nineball(I wonder if Ribdonner and CigarDave were there)? Flunked typing three times. Only took it because it was loaded with girls. Kept flunking on purpose so I could go back the next year.

If any of you would have known me in high school you'd probably have thought I wouldn't amount to much. I got expelled from school my senior year and didn't get to walk with my class. I spent 6 years in the military, got out and landed a job making over 6 figures a year. I'd venture to guess I am doing better than most people I "graduated" with at this point in my life.
Terry, why doesn't it surprise that you knew who the great pool players were when you were in grade school? You are a true lover of the game, without a doubt. Respect!

I was never popular in High School, as I was too busy working, and Surfing.

Whoa there Cocobolo Cowboy! You also "surfed" while "Riding the Range in Southwestern Sonora Desert"????
Were the waves wet or are you talking about wrapping yourself in a sheet and letting a sandstorm blow you from dune to dune and while you bounced alongst the cactis and gila monsters, you closed your eyes and thought you were really in Virginia Beach!
Listen To The Song
BPG24,
How much is "some"??? When I read your post, that line somehow got stuck in my head and I started repeating it. It was just re-running over & over in my head. I actually went upstairs to reload the diet coke and I went up & back with that crazy sentence just going over & over in a real measured tone in my head. I think you subliminally planted it deep into my medulla oblongata (brain stem) and now it's stuck there!
Listen, all we as members in good standing in pooldom gotta know is how to talk enough to arrange a game, how to count as high as the score (or the bet ) and almost everything else I ever learned come from just being alive. Watching Bugs Bunny as a kid certainly helps because he gets out of all kind of jams, but it's not mandatory.
"Some schooling might actually improve the forum"......that is like a song stuck in my mind. Why won't it leave? What does it mean? How kind of improvements?
Maybe you made a mistake and were trying to log onto AZPolo by mistake. In case you did make a wrong turn on the "enter" button, this is a POOL site, not a POLO site. Here, as in a lot of other places, it matters where the O is. We're not supposed to be aristocratics, we're examples of "the common man". Our second favorite sport is bowling and watching the PBA tour, not no C-Span. We read Billiards Digest, not the Wall Street journal.
I say any more learning about stuff that just clogs your head is a waste of time better spent practicing rotation or perusing over Fong Pang Chao's latest expolits in Chinese Taipei! "Some more schooleng and you may actually ruin the joint by making people spend time doing non-pool related activities. Be careful what you wish for....
THIS common man feels a new song coming into my cranium, and it sounds like this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib84GZVz2g4

I hear you Terry.
You are right too, I probably never should have even gone into a pool hall.
I guess I should chalk that decision up as another youthful mistake.
I did however go into a pool hall, and the bug hit me quick.
I can't shake it, pool has competition, math, skill, luck, decision making, and requires high levels of concentration, all things that I love. My health isn't good enough to play high level golf, so I guess I will have to get used to the people in pool

I was the resident hood. Carried a switchblade. Wore jeans, enginer boots, and a motorcyclye jacket. I sold booze, cigarettes, and zip-guns out of my locker. The school asked me to leave when I turned 16. I had to go get a real job running numbers burning and blowing up stuff for the union. Damn I miss those days. Johnnyt

You would enjoy this:
I volunteered for the army on my birthday
they draft the white trash first 'round here anyway
done two tours of duty in vietnam
I came home with a brand new plan
I take seed from Columbia and Mexico
and plant in down the holler by Copperhead Road
Now the DEA's got a chopper in the air
I wake up screamin' llike I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from charlie don't ya know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road
-Steve Earle / Copperhead Road
Hillbilly hot rods are what they're building here in Portland, Oregon right now
As for me I was graduated from high school
with a letter from the local judge allowing me
to join the army a month after april fools day 1975.
In army tradition, I was sent to Germany,
I believe for my specialty in smoke consumption,
where I fought the great hashish houses of Amsterdam
and promptly got smoked.
