About four years ago I was up late at the local PH and was warming up for a big tournament the following day. I knew it was past my bedtime when about a dozen gang members walked in. The place was pretty empty, only a half asleep bartender, myself, and people playing darts up front.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see them all facing the table I was at. I pretended not to see them. I heard them talking amongst themselves, and before I knew it, a voice behind my ear said "gimme all your money, holmes" as I was down on my shot.
That night I happened to be carrying alot of cash on me, and I was wearing a platinum wrist chain and a $2300 watch. My cue and case alone were worth about $5,000 total. I stood up from my shot and found myself staring at this bald-headed cholo, with tattoes running up his neck onto his bald head. There were like 5 different names of girls tattoed on him. Each of them crossed out except for the last one, Angelina.
I looked down and saw a black pistol hanging out of his belt. His friends gathered around me in a very menacing fashion. My heart started pounding, I knew that I had to give up everything or probably end up dead. I reached behind me for my back pocket to grab my wallet when....yes!! My arm brushed against something I had tucked in my waist behind my belt. My nunchucks! Without thinking, I grabbed the handle, and in a lightning flash, I had knocked one of the guys unconcious.
Before I knew it, I was taking on five guys at the same time. CRACK! THWAP!! Knives were deflected, guns smacked out of their hands, they toppled over one another trying to get at me, only to be greeted by the business end of my black wooden nunchucks. I managed to get their leader in a choke with my nunchucks, and they all charged me. I was struck several times and let loose my stranglehold. After taking several more hits, I started to go down. I knew this was the end. The noise started to dull around me, and things started to go black.
I lost conciousness before I saw a bearded man in a white gi with a black belt enter the room. I awoke seconds later and saw all of the gang members laying on the floor, badly beaten. A hand reached out to me. I grabbed it, and was lifted to my feet. It was Chuck Norris. He is also the greatest pool player who ever lived, so it is not uncommon for him to visit a poolhall if he is in town. He didn't say a word, he just smiled and gave me the thumbs-up sign. He signed my nunchucks, and left. True story I swear.
