Cannonball55 said:Truth be told, were all the same. Pool players are wired differently then everyone else and if anyone tells ya otherwise they are lying. We're our own breed of ANIMAL ...
Case in point, these are just a few things that I'd bet everyone in here has done at least one ....
1. In general non pool conversation with a non pool playig friend or acquaintence use pool slang and expressions like "how could you miss that lay up? it was a hanger!" or "KFC's chicken wrap could give Mcdonald's the 7"Pool expressions have long infiltrated regular every day speech, for instance people will often say some thing to the effect He's working on an angle, or she's really behind the 8 ball today.
2. Call wife or girlfriend and tell them that you are working late, when you've got some possible action lined up I have the best gf in the word, I don't need to lie, she knows I'm coming home to her afterwards
3. Walk in the pool room at dusk, walk out at dawn. ( wash, rinse & repeat ) this hasn't been possible in my city in over a decade. Halls are closed by 2AM
4. Tell the barmaid that if your old lady calls just say "Oh sorry, he's not here" see number 2
5. Have a closet full of "pool clothes" and these are'nt not league shirts or pool hall polos, these are shirts ( and pants ) that are stained with chalk and soiled.ugh yes, it's somewhat embarrasing, especially since I often leave work and head straight to play pool
6. Run up a tab so high that neither the pool owner nor any of the staff no exactly how much you owe .... They've lost count My great great uncle who lived in Scottland was asked by the bar tender to settle his tab and he replied, he drank it one dram at a time so he'd clear his tab one dram at a time
7. Have a designated "sweater seat" everyone in the joint knows it's your seat and if anyone other than you sits in it they will be asked ( not so politely ) to get up!Dude you need to get a life
8. Go busted and hock your cue to the pool owner, then later convince the owner to stake you in action (using your own cue) win and the owner does you a favor by letting you keep the cue and the loan and split the winnings 50/50 ever thought of a 12 step program for gamblers?
9. Get personal mail at the pool room because you're in "transition" ( you live in your van )See number 8
10. Find yourself making a bridge while sitting at your desk at work! Also, looking at your stance and alignment in the mirror of your home stroking an imaginary cue .......:rotflmao: :yes: Isn't that a perfectly natural thing to do?
