cure for chalk facing down

LOL

The only other cure, is for chalk companies to start making chalk "cylinders" instead of chalk cubes.

I went from Kindergarten - 12th grade, then off to college - and never once did I see anyone using a square piece of chalk to write on a chlkboard.

So, the technology for cylinder-shaped chalk does exist - just not in the billiards industry.

IMO, this would take care of the "upside down chalk" problem entirely.

Hmmmmm. Flattened on one side only. Chalk shaped like a pool ball and flattened on one side. I like it. No more grinding the tip into the chalk either. It would have to be wiped on .

Yeah.. I like it. Anybody know where we can get the start-up $$$$$? :groucho:

If I dont like the guy I just knock the pieces to the floor with my arm. Wathching him pick up chalk off the floor is hilarious. If I do like him i just tolerate it. I just have to wipe the table down before I lean over to shoot.

I like the weeble chalk idea. that might work.
 
Those types of players aren't near as bad as the players that use TONS of talc and get hand prints all over the rails and table.

Hey, quit picking on Morro...:thumbup: he's gotten much better over time.:thumbup: :thumbup:
 
What about the guy that leaves the chalk on it's side? Does he get just half a bit*h slap?

If he is a chalk grinder though, he's still leaving skidmarks. Ehhh, what the hell, burn him at the stake too!

I remember I played him once... there was a small table off to the side so you could put your cup there or whatever. Morro sprinkled half a bottle of powder on the formica table top. Then he slapped his bridge hand in it -

PLAPP -PLAPP-PLAPP

that shittt went everywhere - there was this big cloud of dust ...

Then there were these white handprints all over the rail, the cloth. I was lining up a shot on the 3 ball, and I saw that he got powder on the freakin balls when he was racking... I don't even use powder, but I had that crap all over me too.

LOL

What happened, Bill? Did someone finally buy him a glove?

It's like house training a dog.....every time they leave it face down, hit them across the nose with a rolled up newspaper....

Signed, the Chalk Ninja....

Or you could just grab them by the scruff of the neck and rub their noses in their own blue happiness!!!
If they still do it after that I suggest euthanization as the next and FINAL step... :grin-devilish:
 
I have played in leagues for about 5 years and have never seen anyone put the chalk face down, really.
 
You didn't see them.

So you are saying it just flips itself over.:scratchhead:
 
Wow

I've been playing better than 40 years and have never even heard this subject discussed. Who cares? If you weenies are so afraid of a little chalk dust on your precious clothing, I wanna play you, your place or mine, ASAP.

You'll be the easiest sharking target ever. Pool is combat. Worry about your next shot and nothing else. If you're worrying about your opponen's manners at the table, you're a loser. If your clothes are that important, buy some bluejeans and a t-shirt.
 
An apron will protect those expensive pants or trousers, and it is safe to say there might even be a pocket to hold the chalk in.

Aprons aren't always just for Snooker and 3C players.
 
when my Dad is over my place he does the 3 or 4 taps on the table & leaves the chalk upside down, it drives me crazy; (I'm super meticulious with my table) & when I ask him why he can leave it right side up he says it easier to just pick it up where he left it to apply the chalk to his cue?
what are ya gonna do?

you can always chalk his nose everytime he does it...I have a feeling that would work...
 
When you have fininshed shooting just drop the chalk in the pocket. Let the incoming player fish it out. If they don't like it---tell them to put it up right because it gets chalk dust on the cloth, its dirty, and most of all it shows disrespect to your fellow players.

ohhh god those are the worst. I left a league night one time because of that(we were gonna win anyways). This idiot powdered up both his hands like he was Lebron and he was going in the game. And then after he'd shoot he'd brush the table down where his handprints where. How bout use less talc next time moron.
