Dear Santa,
Hi. I'm a long time believer, but first time writer.
I've been trying hard to be a good big boy, so I hope you will consider these requests. Since AZB is the only forum you visit, I am keeping this pool related. That and so it don't get bumped to the dreaded NPR section with the howling winds, tumble-weeds and crickets chirping there.
Anyway Santa, here is my list of pool wishes....
1. Autobiographies by Earl Strickland, Billy Incardona and Nick Varner. And autobiographies in ENGLISH by Fong Pang Chao and Oliver Ortmann.
2. A sequal to Grady's "Bet High & Kiss Low", minus any "horse" references!
3. That Shannon Daulton KNOW that even though he was once again omitted from the Onepocket.org One Pocket and Bank Pool Hall of Fame ballot, he'll be enshrined for sure sometime. He's already in it as far as I'm concerned.
4. That JoeyA continues his budding and promising career as a pool announcer. Adding him to Billy, Grady and Danny D makes good music to our ears!
5. That Fong Pang Chao move in to the house for sale next door to my house. He can use my table until we get his built up.
6. That Pat Fleming and his staff at Accu-Stats (Pete, Jim, etc) and Justin and Chad and the T.A.R. crew each hit the powerball. May that happen as reward for what they've already given to us (video footage of the greats in our sport preserved for future generations) and also as incentive to keep doing what they do.
7. A new KF Cues LE005 in 19oz. Santa, I could never afford that, so if you don't bring that somehow, I'll have to "stick" to my CueTec collection.:smile:
8. Santa, can you make pool in America bigger than the NFL, MLB, NHL and NASCAR put together? Can we have our own 24/7 Pool Channel and pool magazines like the golfers do, with IN DEPTH stories and profiles on our pro players? Can you help our pro players star in Coco-Wheats commercials or help find them find major sponsorship from Honda, Toyota, Exxon or BP? Our pros need some lovin' from somebody with deep pockets, a brain and a big heart.
9. Nine is a thank you, Santa. Thanks for women like akaTrigger, Milo, BrandyWine and others who have made AZB better by their contributions here. Not to sound like a male chauvanist pig Santa, but I never knew girls could like pool so much and really make AZB a better place. And thanks for the guys here also Santa, men like JohnnyT, JoeyA, Hu, SJM, rubyron, Bigtruck, Fatboy, Blackjack, Worldison2, iba7467, Jay, cuetechasaurus, BigskyJake, Smorg, jgpool, BVal, Rossaroni, Ribdonner, asiadad, Sde, Spiderwebcomm, easy-e, cuejoey, and on and on. These people are like our family and they're the only reason to come here.
10. Be generous, Santa, in helping the other peeps here get what they want. 99% of us have been good and managed to stay off the "BANNED" list.
PS-There will be a bag of double stuffed Oreo's and a sack of Chips-O-Hoys under the Brunswick. The obligatory cold, fresh milk awaits in the fridge. Please feel free to help yourself.
And thanks a lot Santa! You're a swell guy! :smile:
