Billiard quotes

he's hilarious to play because he has a million little sayings....

Back in the '70s my hair was a lot longer than it is now. I was playing an older guy some nine ball. He played a real tough safe on me, impossible to get out of. As he walked away from the table he said "Smoke that hippie"

LMAO! That's funny.
 
A few that I have come up with:

That was a Middle East game - I rack (Iraq) and I ran (Iran).

Guess the banks are closed (My opponent said when failing a bank attempt)
Yeah, but the drive through is open, and you just made a deposit! (when it failed and then scratched!)

Tongue twister: What's better, the sweator or the bettor? The sweator is sweeter and the bettor is better.

My aimer is broken.

My break is broken.

White men can't jump. lol

Somewhere over there (when calling a pocket)

It's in my video (when I make an impossible shot, usually accidental!)

Hey, does your dealer know you are wasting all that stuff? (When players leave white chalk or powder all over the table)

Use stop follow draw on that. (Helpful instructions to opponent)

Other favorites:
You're on two - when they foul by missing the whole ball AND they scratch on the same shot.

Want to split? (When I am playing a pro man player in an early round.)

Truck and trailer shot or the Pete and Re-Pete shot (when you scratch with straight follow)

My husband says:
I overcut the room rent.
It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian (when you try to blame your cue)
You only have to play good for a half hour (in a 9ball tournament match)
Not going anywhere? Have a Snickers. (on slow players)

Old standbyes:
Chalk is cheap. (After a miscue)
You break like a girl (or girly-man).
Stroke don't poke.
There is a pool god.
I'll bet Mike wins (when 2 Mike's are playing each other)

Some guy in a bar said this to me once...

"I didn't pay 50 cents to watch you shoot pool!"

After I ran 6 consecutive racks of 8 ball and the guy had put in $3.00, he said "I'm really not shooting that bad!"
 
"Someone call 911, I feel a stroke coming on."

"You can't run out of a burning building."

I heard this statement once as a response to one player was complaining about the pockets being too big. "The pockets are too big? Let's bet a little higher. They'll tighten up!"
 
"so if i hit them over here, the nine goes to the pocket??"
bustamante asking incardona before a match against efren.
 
Love This!

Knowing them, I can hear it!
but one of the best moments is from 2013 - DCC
I have the camera on Francisco and Billy I. is standing next to him,
so I ask Busti-
"who is your favourite player?"
he grabs Billy, hugs him and says,
"Billy is my idol! He is always smiling because he always gets the money."
he then grabs Billy, kisses him on the cheek and rubs his belly.

Qoutes

In a tourney I went up 3-0 on a cocky guy and he said it was only 2-0. His wife was setting there and set him straight saying I was up 3-0. I looked at him and said "I remember the first time I shot pool". He was so mad he couldn't make a shot after that.
