Gotta love my Dad
Back in the late 80s i went with my Dad to to a local bar in our home town of Winnie Texas to hit some balls one Saturday afternoon. My Dad was a world beater on a bar box and i always enjoyed our too rare occassions to play togther.
This particular Saturday a certain local hustler about my Dads Age ( late 40s) I was about 19 decided to try to get in my pocket playing 9 ball on a bar box ( he feared the Old Mans game like a Southern Bapstist Deacon fears God) but he thought i would be easier pickings.
So we start out for about 5 a game with him trying to hide his speed and not doing a very good Job. so at 20 down he pumps the bet , at 70 down he pumps , at 150 down he pumps , now we are up to 50 a game. at 300 down he figured out he couldnt get there with me either. As he is paying me he makes the remark " You shoot a pretty good stick but you aint never gonna be as Good as your Dad is "
At which Point the Old Man looks over the top of his beer and says in his unforgetable Mississippi Drawl" Ya know Bob he may never be as good as me but he is Damn sure 300 dollars better than you ever will be "
I have never been so proud to be my Dads Son

steve davis
snooker legend steve davis was commenting on a pool game, i think he might be the best ever. i don't remember the player, but he was concentrating very intently on a slightly difficult shot. long time goes by, and the player misses. davis say, "he talked himself into missing that.."
for me it was a profound moment, and i learned something

funny quotes
Rich"the hat" Geiler showed up to a tournament and announces that "I am here to pick up my paycheck".. he was out in 2.
Two guys are trying to make a game in the pool hall, the better player says he wants to make a game with the other guy because he wants some soft action, trying to goad him into playing. The weaker, but funnier, player says " You want something soft? Hold out your hand and I'll take a sh*t in it!" Everyone was rolling

funny quote
Minnesota Fats was getting ready to play Willie Mosconi on Wide World Of Sports with Howard Cosell commentating, Fats refused to play with his sportcoat on saying " Putting a sportcoat on a pool player is like putting ice cream on a hot dog!"... they both were allowed to play without the jackets.

Few years back a very good player (i wont name him) came to the christmas tournament totally wasted as he drank all night and had no sleep. He drew a tough opponent in the 1st round and lost the lag. The other guy broke the rack and scratched. This wasted guy came to the table, ran the table and ran another 5 racks for victory 6:0. He turned to the other guy, smiled, shook his hand and said: "Marry Christmas!"
My favorite is a line from Lassiter.
Upon missing a four ball gambling with someone at nine ball, he raked the balls and conceded the rack. When his opponent asked why he had done so, Lassiter's brilliant reply was "if you weren't out from there, you've got no chance to beat me anyway."

It was either Steve Davis or Sid that was commentating on another match who said, "that's the third time he's walked over to have a look at the black, and it still hasn't moved." :grin:
One of My own
One of my best friends and road partner Mike F. always played about a ball better than me when we would practice and he had me down a couple games in the set I always tell him " Better hop up on the Porch , I am fixin to cut the dogs loose on ya "
And he always Answered " I think you need a bigger Dog "
