my best friend told me it's a go. i said to him, listen, it's one thing to say bad things about kevin on the az forum,but to do this? i think we could go to jail.
he told me,forget about it, in his new york italian accent,i've been working with electronics for years for the good fellows,and the FBI i've been on both sides, and i ain't been shot yet have i? he looked like one of these thin geeks,that didn't seem to fit in with anyone except his electronic equipment. i looked around this large type of closet we wer'e standing in in awe. there was at least 800 pieces of high quality electronic equipment in there. survielance equipment,auidio equipment from japan,top shelf stuff, special cables,and boxes,de-scrambelers,de coders,sensitive far away mics,you name it, it was in my friends closet.
it was now saturday evening,and the time was exactly 6:58 P.M. we wer'e at his house,and all of the equipment he needed,was hooked up and through his television,and spliced into the time warner feed. i was so freakin nervous,"suppose they track us down?" screw them, they screwed you? yeah, well, wer'e gonna screw them real good!
it was 7:00PM sharp,the intro for the world open pool tournament rolled on VERSUS,their was a 3 shot of matt,mike and kevin holding mics and looking into the camera. matt led off with this line "welcome to the richest pool tournament the world has ever known" just at that second after matt said the word known, like clockwork, my friend hit a button, and walla, the picture froze,of those 3 monkeys standing there with there mics,but the sound disappeared and my friend said into the $7,000 german made mic he was holding in his house "the richest tournament the world has ever known? BULL#$%!!!!!!!!! he then released the button, and the pictures started to move again! i was feeling good,real good, finally i wasn't just yelling at the screen as i had been every week,now we wer'e telling the entire VERSUS world what was really going on, the show continuned on~~
mike you've played in big tournaments before,have you ever seen anything like this with this amount of money? once again, my tall and skinny friend, hit the button " what money? i still haven't been paid,this was taped,people and this ***** is in mexico under the name Melvin kiski.my friend released the button, this time we wer;e screaming with laughter, i didn't even care if we wer'e found out now, i was having too much fun!
so on the show goes,and then the best part comes, that lieing commercial with the british voice over guy claiming they gave away over 8 million in 06 alone, well, my friend just had his way with this commercial," hey, anyone out there who even dares to go to their web site, forget about it,there is no more tour, no more money,and the qualifyers are the biggest scam in the billiard world." i couldn't believe it,the worlds seemed to resonate,i hope we wer'ent caught. my friend quickly and effectianly detached all wires and equipment, we went to a local club with loud music and girls. smoked some fine cigars,and had a great night, knowing justice was served!
the next morning, on azbilliards international pool tour forum, there wer'e 7 pages regarding the pirated broadcast of the world open, i smiled reading every word,caressing my oliva special S cigar,thinking about the effect of eye opening stuff we caused,i thought to myself hey, kevin, hope you enjoyed the show.
