When you said this @ McD & Pepsi I was lmao.
When you shunned Camel, I figured there was more to the real story than you being against cigarettes and smokey pool halls... :yeah:

I thought Johnny did a great job with the short opportunity he was given! He looked great, smiled and was personable. It wasn't a complicated shot but he only had one chance at it and couldn't take a chance of not making the ball or hitting Brooke.
Any type of exposure like this on network TV isn't a bad thing, you never know who might have seen it or will see it. It could very well lead to spots on other shows or networks.
Thank you to Johnny and anyone else that made this happen.

Best post in the thread. Thank you! :smile:
i hope JA or his agent is reading this! before he books the gig selling pool cue pencils at the local Kmart that is.
I smell desperation on JAs breath. that makes me a sad panda. sigh
You say that as if it is McDonald's and Pepsi's fault. It isn't their fault. It is the fault of the person who ate/drank it all the time for their life and didn't excersise. Blame the people who are really responsible.
You sir are a generous man...lol
someone can think twice {today} about how their diet effects their health.
How could you possibly think I would play the "blame game".....it's none of my business what other people eat or drink, I can only control my own habits. Pepsi and Coke have over 70 "man made" chemicals many of which can cause cancer...so choose wisely.
The fact is more people die each year from too much fat and sugar in their diet than all drugs put together. I'm merely pointing this out so {maybe} someone can think twice {today} about how their diet effects their health.

Earlier this morning, I actually did spend a few minutes trying to determine which was worse, cigarettes or fast food. My research was inconclusive but I'm sure both are bad for you in different ways.
In another post though, I was surprised when you said that spacing ceiling fans 8-feet apart in a pool hall would minimize the effects of smoke-filled pool halls. While the ceiling fans may help in diluting the smoke, there is still a significant risk that people are still inhaling a lot of smoke after a few hours or so of playing pool. If you're being exposed to second-hand smoke, you are at a higher risk of getting lung cancer and other related diseases.

Always works out better if you hit them:
(Insert flash back music)
I was stationed at Torrejon AB, just outside of Madrid, for a while back in my younger single days. One year I won the base level tournament, the Mediterranean championship in Italy, and flew out to Germany where I won the USAF European 14.1 championship. After the tournament, I get back to Spain and the base television station wants to do a piece on me. So they send out a camera man and this young female sergeant to do the interview.
Her name was Lisa (beautiful face, bee-stung lips, great rack, legs that went on forever), who I had unsuccessfully lusted after for months. So they set up to shoot and the cameraman asks me to shoot some balls off. I do an interview and then the cameraman says, "Hey, can you shoot any trick shots involving Lisa?"
Now, she's in uniform (a skirt) and I'm thinking to myself, "Self, THIS is a golden opportunity."
So I'm desperately trying to think up some trick shot I can shoot and I can't come up with anything and Lisa is looking at me and finally my testosterone addled brain comes up with the brilliant idea of shooting the "Object Ball Out of the Volunteer's Mouth" shot.
Now frankly, that I had never shot this shot before, even just once, constituting some kind of problem, did not cross my hormone overdosed mind for as much as a nano second.
So I explain the shot and Lisa looks at me dubiously with these huge brown eyes with unbelievable lashes and agrees to participate. So she lays down across the table, legs hanging over the side in her AF black leather pumps, and I'm rearranging her as much as I can legally get away with and I lean over and tell her to hold the piece of chalk in her teeth. I gently place the chalk between her amazing lips, with an object ball on top of the chalk. Then, as the shot prescribes, I set the cue ball on the rail on top of another couple of pieces of chalk. I describe the shot to the camera, get down, take careful aim, and shoot the shot.
I miss it. Badly.
In fact, I have just smacked lovely Lisa full in the mouth with a flying cue ball, causing her bee-stung lips to start to swell up (even more than their natural state), and she immediately starts to look like a boxer who's just gone ten rounds in the wrong weight class. (There might have been dental damage too.)
So she shoots up off the table holding her mouth, glaring at me, and I think to meself, "Self, now you've done it." So I'm apologizing left and right, and I start laughing a little. I can't help myself. And it gets worse, and now I'm laughing a lot, because it was kinda of funny. And then, I see the cameraman is hiding, laughing his ass off behind the camera, and the photographer for the base paper, who is also there, is cracking up too.
After everyone calms down a little, they play the tape back on the monitor and we're all on the floor because the tape is absolutely hilarious: me, looking like I know what I'm doing; Lisa draped over the table in a skirt and pumps; me describing the shot; and then, popping Lisa in the kisser.
Well, the upshot is that I continued to tell Lisa how eternally sorry I was and to make it up, I wanted to take her out to dinner and dancing. And she agreed and we did and we danced all night and it was great.
Best trick shot I never made.

Au contraire! Lou's post #292 is the best one in this thread.
Pool would have achieved more publicity if Johnny had missed the shot on national tv and hit Brooke smack on the lips with the cue ball.
Lou really abbreviated the epilogue in that hilarious tail. Hmm, me thinks someone got stiffed.

he did say that they danced........................all night.
Yeah he did, and he played 2 balls better back then too and still gave her chapped lips.

And most crops grown in the US are from genetically engineered seeds from Monsanto. Most cattle, chickens and other animal products are injected with so many antibiotics and other crap. People are going to die no matter what they eat.
But the important part of this thread is that in 30 seconds J.A. saved pool!!! :clapping:

I agree since this really was nothing out of the ordinary , unless you live in a time causal you probably have seen many trick shots on TV at one time or another . It would have taken one heck of a shot or a mishap that would get people talking even if it was the worst possible target audience

It could have been even more spectacular if instead of hitting the cue ball Johnny would have stuck his tongue half way down Brooke's mouth, and thin grinned at the camera.
That would have done more for pool that a hundred spots on that crappy morning show.
