After missing some shots and getting frustrated, you tap on your cuestick and say "Hello? Is this thing on?"

Hi Dan,
Who's cue was in the off position last weekend. Yours or Julio's? He could say he couldn't see straight and be telling the truth!!!
Will you be at Salt City for the Joss event? Hope to see you there.
not a great quote but that reminds me - i was playing 8 ball partners for beers in a neighborhood bar. my partner was in a neck brace, recuperating from a broken neck. he could barely hit the cueball, but i was holding up his end. one of our opponents said to me , this isn't fair cause both of you are wearing glasses.
Found this one year old article... Thought it was kind of funny looking over some of these qoutes.... I've never really gotten past the second page though....

"I'd rather be in the pool room thinking about god than in church thinking about pool"

This one is on the end of one of Grady's one pocket tapes. UJ was in a one pocket game( I don't remember who with) and he had to use the bridge to shoot over a ball at his pocket. Well he made the ball but when he lifted the bridge he touched the ball he was shooting over. The other guy called a foul and insisted that UJ owed a ball. Back in those days it was touch fouls on the cue ball only.
Well they argued for about ten minutes and UJ got mad and finally he said "You are saying that I owe a ball for touching that one." The other guy said "Yea". UJ then took both hands and shoved all the balls in front of his pocket and said "Might as well owe two!".
A guy walked into the pool hall and walked over to a buddy of mine. He asked if him what his name was. My buddy told him and the guy said good that is who I have been looking for. I heard you like to gamble. My buddy said every now and then, what do you want to play. they played 10 ahead and my buddy beat him in about an hour or less. After the match he walks up to the table and starts looking under it and all around it. The guy asked him what he was looking for and he said a camera. Guy asked why he was looking for a camera, and my buddy replied This is got to be one of those hidden camera shows, you didnt come here to play me.

Nice quote at the end of the story......from a Frank Almanza AZBilliard column
online.....
Anyway, this gentleman didn’t fair very well in the tournament, and during his interview he was asked for his reaction on the style of play in America. His comment was that the American way had far too many safeties. In Japan, the game was mainly played for sport and enjoyment. He stated that to play defense was not the Japanese way. To me, I took it that their heritage and pride viewed defense as a way of showing a bit of cowardice. He mentioned that the Japanese way was to be more aggressive with offense. I can see that because I think of their culture in that fashion. Something or other about saving face.
Shortly after that interview, an American cuiest was interviewed. I seem to think it was The Miz but I’m not sure. He was asked to comment on the response gotten from the gentleman from Japan. He in turn asked the interviewer, do they gamble on the game in Japan? When the interviewer answered that they didn’t. His reply was “Well when they start gambling, they’ll start playing safe”.

From an accustats tape of a one pocket match with Jose Parica & Gerry Slivka. Announcer was commenting about how Gerry would shoot at anything he could see.
"This guy would shot at a hospital ship!!"
A guy comes up to my buddy Matt at the pool room and says he believes he figured out what was wrong with his game. Matt replies
" I think I know already. When you get it out and screw it together..... stop doing that"
One of the older guys at the pool room told me once.
"You shoot like I f^$#K, everything goes in but the balls"

I heard a local player (Walt Bentley) from the Cleveland area say this to his wife. Note: Walt is known for going off for all he has.
At a weekly event at Carousel Lanes in Cleveland Walt kept running back to his wife to get more money to gamble with. After he lost the next set he looked to his wife for more money. She gave him a disgusted look, stood up and yelled at him that he had a gambling problem. Shouting across the room he replied to her......
"I DON'T HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM, I HAVE A WINNING PROBLEM !"
This brought the room down.
I still laugh everytime I think about it even though I never got paid for that last set.
