Jerry, well said, and I concur with the bulk of your message...But I must ask, did you somehow miss post # 131 ???
..It is a 2 page, rambling, inane response, to a 2 line post, written by one of the most respected guys in the industry,
(Mark Griffin) who only chastised CJ, for being so obnoxious, and argumentative ! :sorry:
SJD
PS..Oh, Mark may have called him a few "expletives deleted" ! (CJ can make any sane person lose their cool)
Re: post #131.
When I got to the second paragraph my eyes started to glass over and I zoned out for a bit. Shook my head tried to refocus.
When I got to paragraph 6 and read ‘Mark’, ‘hidden agenda’ and ‘liar’ in the same thought process I started to reject any further comments out of hand. But I soldiered on.
When I got to the part of the ‘passion for pool’ of an 11 year old I heard sweet violins then it went on to say that the passion would have been destroyed by a fictitious Mark Griffith (sweet violins changed to the discordant note from the Devil Went Down to Georgia and I am quite sure that I caught the scent of brimstone). I screamed at my computer screen “Mark, don’t do it. You will never be proud of yourself if you destroy wee CJ’s passion.”
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I imagined a small CJ, wearing the school boy uniform of the day, walking to the pool room, clutching $2.00 in his little hand, to play pool and then having to walk back. Probably a 3 to 4 mile walk, up-hill both ways.
I am, however, comforted by the fact that I have the utmost faith that Mark will never say those mean things to any 11 year old present or future pool players.
Actually, in all seriousness, I initially skipped most this post #131 until you brought it to my attention. I did initially read to paragraph 2 then went on to post #132 and the rest. I thank you for getting me to go back to this and actually read it as it kind of proved Mark’s point. For my original point about balance to remain valid CJ needs to have two posts sometime in the future that are humorous and interesting although I might settle for one post like this because of little 7 year old CJ.
Thanks for pointing me back to #131, SJD, I would have missed something......well.....unbelievable.
I wrote this before reading the other, later, CJ posts.
He did it, ladies and gentleman, balance is restored and once more the game is the teacher.

Whiffer...I would like to be the first, to nominate you for post of the decade..(if there is such a thing)... Your humorous remarks are priceless..You missed your calling, you could have been 'chief comedy writer' for SNL, or Jay Leno ! :thumbup:
SJD
PS..By the way, don't feel bad, I have to read ALL of CJ's posts, in about nine installments myself...But the content is just so riveting !..But when you reach my age, I almost get a woody, listening to Rosie O'Donnell's jokes !..

It takes me ages to figure out how to add pictures and that. Just saying.
OMG!!!! Your post is the funniest sh*& I have ever read in my life!!

The Devil went to northern Missouri and he was looking for a soul to steal, he was in a bind, he was way behind and willing to make a deal - he saw a 7 year old CJ with a cue playing pool, jumped up the table and said "you're an idiot and a fool" - you'll never amount to anything, why are you trying, if you do make any pool DVDS, rest assured, I'M NOT BUYING. LMAO!!!

Actual words? Like actually wishing someone was dead and actually talking of buying a gun? Or actually making youtube videos, using actual words to actually threaten someone you've actually had a grudge with for an actual decade?
Yeah, lets all post under our real names. Great idea.
CJ,
You've got the fan club hanging on every word you post! Don't make excuses for what you do. You don't owe anybody an explanation. You're in Dallas, so they know where to find you and come out from behind their keyboard.
A few noted their displeasure with you with class in this thread. Just a few. I want to thank those few. The rest need to stop stalking CJ, really.
It's the same 6-8 posters who trash talk every time. You follow the guy around and bait him, trying to get a rise out of him. If you want to debate with him, post like SJD or HU and show some respect. You think he reads your bashing posts and takes your advice? A page more is all I give this thread before it's removed, too.
Best,
Mike.

Not hard to tell, that is an original 'extra clever' CJ verse !..:boring: :boring: :boring:
You mean stalk, like you are doing here? Can always count on you to chime in everytime someone says something about his posting. How does one debate with someone that never replies to actual questions?
Gotta agree on both counts with Neil. CJ is not witty or kind in the least.
In John's case... I have a lot of crazies on Ignore but never John, because in spite of his faults he was articulate, honest, and passionate. His posts had their own internal logic. CJ couldn't find logic if you spotted him if A equals B and B equals C.

Thank you for the kind words.
I pray that I can someday delete the image of anyone having a woody for Rosie...... though I guess some would describe her as quite fetching in a ladies with a moustache kind of way.....hmmmm! I wonder if she plays pool?
Damnit, now you've done it, I am imagining an 8 year old Rosie
.....in a catholic schoolgirl uniform
...........skipping up to a poolroom
.........a $2.00 bill in one hand,
.........the other hand clutching the hand of a 7 year old boy. A boy destined to become the best poolplayer in the world.
..............and that boy's name.
...Earl (that would actually explain a lot)
If this thread gets deleted because it went off topic I'm definitely blaming you SJD
Couldn't imagine CJ with Rosie, tried, but just couldn't do it.
I miss John..He was definitely passionate...Not sure about the logic.. He could sound like CJ at times, but he looked better at the table !.
PS..Lou, clean up your spelling and verbage. (have you been drinking again ?)
nobody responds well to in your face
Mike,
Nobody responds well to "in your face" most certainly including me. I enjoy CJ's stories and have only occasionally seen him turn mean or spiteful. I don't remember if it was called for or not and in truth it wasn't my ox getting gored so I might not have seen it the same way CJ did.
CJ either doesn't realize that some of his favored buzz words grate on people like fingernails on a chalkboard of the old slate variety after reading them seemingly dozens of times or he doesn't care. I would like to see him be more sparing with some of the irritants and I think everyone should either resize or at least manually remove the big signatures in all but the first post they place in a thread. It isn't hard to remove them, I did it when I had a small automatic signature.
I value all of the old road players. They get fewer by the day seemingly. CJ is young enough to be around awhile to tell stories to the next generation. I don't sweat the stories being word for word true, memories improve with time. I used to sit around with my old car owners and listen as they told great stories about my driving. Vastly flattering, but I was there and don't remember it quite like that!
Hu

Not even a buck neckid Rosie laying on a hotel room bed or in a corner with nothing on but Christmas decorations?
I beg to differ.
Hu, thats funny. Riding the Wall of Death and also pulling off some really stupid crap at Bike Runs. 25 years later at reunions etc, people introduce me to younger Bikers and start relating some of the stupid shite that I once did when I thought that my body was invisible.
I would be thinking, I never did that. You must be thinking of Evil Knievel.

CJ joined in May, 2010, posted 21 times over the following two months, then did not post at all (at least in threads that have survived) for over 2 years. So his flood of over 9,000 posts has really come in less than 2 ½ years (rather than 4 ½). He has averaged about 10.4 posts per day in that period.
But in his post #131 (to which you were responding), despite his wording, I think his reference was actually to threads rather than posts.
I keep my posts and threads in a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar
I said "threads," didn't I? Did they think I posted in posts? LoL
It took me those two years to prepared all my pre written posts for last year. I keep my posts and threads in a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar on FUNK & WAGNALL's Porch (so I have a copy in case the thread is deleted).
