So when is the spelling contest?:grin:
Hah, I knew it and took flak for calling her out. I'd rather take the flak than say "I told you so" when you got ripped off. And since it's nearly the weekend, I can say "GOD I LOVE ME!!!!"
lol- i was just thinking that you had a pretty big AZB couple weeks, too- what with the Mary flak, the new cue case, the hottest guy self- nomination, the bday, etc.
Wish I could rep you again so soon, monkey.

I know! Let's have a spelling contest!"
Last Friday, a friend of mine told me he had spoken to The Mary Avina the night before about my request to play. He said she told him she was in the process of getting backers together. She also told him she wanted to change the games from 8-ball, 9-ball, and 10-ball to 14.1, one-pocket, and snooker. She also emphasized that she would NOT play on a live broadcast.
I waited a few days for a favorable response. Since I did not receive one, I went in search of it. A friend and I found some free time and we headed to Shooters in Riverside, the room The Mary Avina had told us was her base of operations. I had some friends there and I asked them to let her and her friends know I was coming down to negotiate a game.
When we arrived, The Mary Avina was not there. We decided to wait for her and entered in the weekly handicapped 9-ball tournament they were having. While we were playing, the regulars asked us what we were doing in their neck of the woods. Since I have a preference for directness, I said, "I've come here to find Mary Avina. She came to my pool room and told us she was a famous pool player with lots of backers and that she plays for money. She's also begun to market herself on the internet. I've come here to see if we can work out a game."
Here is a summary of what I was told by the regulars (including pool room employees) regarding The Mary Avina:
- She is a pathological liar.
- She is known to talk a lot of shit that she can't back up.
- She has never been known to gamble, due mostly to the fact that she doesn't usually have money.
- She does not have backers that they know of, and no one in that room is willing to back her.
- She has difficulty running three balls.
- She would need at least the 6 and the breaks from 90% of the people in the room.
- She likes to bring in casual players that are terrible at the game to make herself look better.
- She doesn't live in Riverside anymore and most people seem to agree that she moved to Oregon and comes back to visit for weeks at a time.
- When she returned from Oregon this time, she told them she was now the best snooker player in Oregon.
There were far more entertaining stories about The Mary Avina, but I am only putting down the ones relevant to pool.
Before we left, we sat down at the bar to have a drink. The lady behind the counter asked us what we were doing in town. I told her I had come to find The Mary Avina because she had portrayed herself to be a great player and this was her room. The lady immediately said, "Please do not associate us with Mary Avina. She, in no way, represents this room at all. We do not want anyone to think she is associated with Shooters in any way."
So, there you have it. My curiosity is satisfied and I hope yours is, too.
Mary Avina: you are a fraud and for putting down players everywhere (especially women players) while lying to the world, I hope Karma finds you and gives you what you deserve.

Thank you for the follow up story and for the closure- without this, we would still be wondering about The Mary Avina. I think we can say we have all been Experienced. (air guitaring to Jimi now)
Rjohnson, the following will be the trash talk by Mary, followed by Mary's apology. IMO Mary just got carried away, was a bit full of herself and rude to some people. She got called out on it and she apologized, an apology that seemed pretty genuine IMO. She may have decided she wants no part of omgwtf's game, but that remains to be seen.
First, here's Mary's word for word trash talking which hilla_hilla took the time to compile (hilla_hilla is one of the numerous woman players that took exception to the talk):
MARY's APOLOGY:
if this thread proves one thing, its that you guys are pretty good at beating the shit out of a dead ****ing horse....

"looks like a dead horse what do you think we should do Rocko?"
Rocco says "How bout we beat the dead ****ing shit out of it!"

another thing is...she didnt say much, sure she sounded kindof self centered, but so what....who's self esteem on here is so low that they are actually offended by it?????....
"looks like a dead horse, what do you think we should do Rocko?"
Rocko smiles and replys, "How bout we beat the dead ****ing shit out of it!"
My sediments exactly, there ain't no angels on here either. Jeez give it up peeps the Fu**ing horse died last week and it stinks. The women on here are brutal and some guys aren't much better. Now I suppose I'll have the lynch mob after me. Oh well, that"s the way it goes around here.

Here's my 2 favorite parts of the whole saga:
1) Jaden posting that some people were too "self absorbent"
2) You posting your "sediments"
Thanks
