Where did this come from? When I was 16, I watched Cole (Dickson) run balls effortlessly and endlessly for some time. Later, immediately after he left, I grabbed a rack and started shooting. I swear, I could feel him as I shot. It was truly as if I was him. For what seemed like 15, no, probably just like 5 minutes, I glided around the table and never missed a shot. And I, me, normally was absolutely no threat on the pool table. (Once, I had a two foot straight in full pocket shot on the nine ball in the side pocket, and Mike M., who was maybe 4 years older than me, reached out and ran his finger across the green felt in front of the cue ball. "Crisscross applesauce," he says. I proceeded to jump the cue ball right off the table. Yeah. That was about my speed.) Well, after shooting in this sort of trance for about 5 minutes, I felt this overwhelming sense that Cole was upset with me. He wasn't even there. He had already left the building. I felt I was doing something I shouldn't be doing. So I quit playing. Never tired to emulate Cole ever again...

You Bet!! Mary Janes and fizzle sticks and those hard little dots on strips of paper that you wound up eating more paper than anything else.😆
Once in a blue moon I'd get a quarter and spend it down there. Get a huge bag full of penny candy. Some of them were 2 and 3 for a penny.
Got my money's worth!!

I’m surprised I have this tooth left.
