Kinda makes you wonder what is going on out there in Vegas, though, all these offers to "go outside" from the BB crew lately

Pool Poker and Pain....
Don't worry; the short, fat, hairy, Inuit seal hunter will protect you Lou, (if it ever thaws out here)
lol.

KoolKat, you gotta try Onda. Probably some of the best Italian I've have other than Il Profeta in Florence and Mario Batali's Babbos in NYC. And thanks for the tip on The Strat.

Dave, I know that you and Lou have been at each other for a very long time, so I get where you are coming from, to an extent. I've butted heads with him here occasionally, and certainly have played witness to a whole lot of stuff here for a while now. I get it.
However, I don't believe that anything Lou has said here online warrants anyone threatening violence over. Let alone by someone, a professional no less, many years younger. That is simply out of line.
If he wanted to express his dislike for Lou in any of the many colorful ways out there, sure, why not? If he feels that slighted, sure. But to suggest "going outside" over internet comments seems a bit much, to me. At least the comments related to the matter, I suppose (before we go down a whole different path about insulting ones family, etc).
And I will state that this is certainly all supposing Lou's account is accurate, as it is his recounting here that we are discussing. I'm not doubting him here, but I also realize that there are a few different sides to every story, and always allow for that.

Well... I guess the moral of the story is don't say things online that you wouldn't face-to-face. That would solve 99% of the problems right there. Clearly, Schmidt didn't like Lou's condescending tone and made his feelings known.
So, instead of trying to be less of an ass next time, Lou goes on again about how he could buy and sell John AGAIN in this thread and continues to make it like he's a big pimping Donald Trump sipping on wine while John is an out-of-control fool.
My take is John just had enough of his mouth and let him know he could feel free to step outside.
People react differently to keyboard tough guys and that was John's way.

Lenny it was good seeing you. I didn't know the attractive lady there was your better half --wish you had made introductions.
And I'm know you're a smart enough cookie to differentiate between here and real life. Best regards, Lenny.
Lou Figueroa
Thanks, BC. Earl is nuts. I thought Bernie's response was perfect -- he is a class act and a hell of a player.
Lou Figueroa
I don't know what's up with John, ID. I do believe he has issues though that will eventually catch up with him.
Lou Figueroa
I'm dying to know if Katie Couric asked you to step outside too

dub, thanks for speaking up.
As to Spider, here is the truth about him: as most everyone here knows, I have had him and a few others on Ignore for near two years now. So I have not been "at him" in a long, long time. But, perusing his record, anyone can see that he still likes to regularly take shots at me, all the while acknowledging I can't see his posts. How sick is that?
And all that is fine. On the pool forums there are guys like him who have never accomplished anything, gone anywhere, or contributed anything of substance, and can only garner attention by trying to attach and associate their name with those of us who have.
I think my record of posting on the forums for almost two decades speaks for itself, most folks acknowledging that I take care with my facts, going as far as to differentiate what I know from first hand experience and what I am told by others. People will also recognize that including details about where I've been and what I like to eat and drink have always been part of my posts and trip reports. (Anyone remember the story from a couple of years ago when I had a steak house dinner sitting next to a couple of wise guys?)
In my 20 years as a USAF officer, I have met, mentored, led, and commanded hundreds of guys like Spider --overgrown frat boys who cannot differentiate between the arrogance and hubris of their drinking buddies and the self confidence of a grown man. And so, in the face of inaction on the part of the admins, mods, and even to a certain extent other posters, the beat goes on and so will Spider.
And that's all I have to say about that

Yeah I was caught up in my game along with being a little bit inebriated with my pain pills for my foot and some beers, my apologies for my poor manners. I used to take the forums way too seriously but have realized its just best not to, when our minds are made up on here or we take a stance we are all too hard headed and stubborn to waiver. Haha. :grin:
Pain pills?! No more even action from you, pal. I take the 8-6.
Or you share the skittles!!!!:grin:
i was there sleeping while Lenny was playing.....
You had a good nap bud. My lady said "Is that guy laying there sleeping homeless?" and I replied "No hunny, he is rich.". I don't think she believed me.
Well right now I am having trouble walking well, to be honest I hate pills and only take them if I really need them but I enjoy drinking so the combination can be quite brutal.
That is supremely funny.You had a good nap bud. My lady said "Is that guy laying there sleeping homeless?" and I replied "No hunny, he is rich.". I don't think she believed me.
