Thanks for the help, you are all in trouble now since I'm sure it was the only thing stopping me from going pro
I'm sure you're correct. I'll be looking for your name on the marquee! :grin:
Finally figured out what has been holding me back...
- Thread starter WillyCornbread
- Start date
I'm sure you're correct. I'll be looking for your name on the marquee! :grin:
I recently got back into playing after a while and have consumed all the instructional materials I can find, I am practicing often, and waiting on my new Diamond table to be delivered in a few weeks
I realized today that the one thing holding me back is obvious! I don't have a pool nickname...
So , give me a nickname so I can move on to world pool domination, I promise I'll credit you during my HOF induction.
Some info to help:
I'm 42 years old, born in Baltimore. 6ft tall and slender with thinning hair and a greying goatee but still look a few years younger than my age. I spent 8 years in the Air Force in the 90's, and I now work from home doing software engineering & management for Cisco. At my best I was probably playing at a B level, currently I'm playing at low C. My favorite foods are cheeseburgers and steamed crabs. I also enjoy playing video games and guitar.

Thanks for all the contributions, fun thread.
I'm going to stick with Willy Cornbread as long as it doesn't sound like I am comparing myself to Red. Someone called me that in like 9th grade once (was eating cornbread in math class) and I then used it when I started needing usernames.

So your name WAS bestowed on you.....it'll do just fine.
Since you now have an official pool hall name....I need the 7/8....
...if you were named after a state or a city, I'd need the 6 also. :smile:
You guys are funny - thanks again.
WillyCornbread it is... Cisco Slim is very cool, but I'll probably get fired once the table is in my house.

Binary Bill, there are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that know binary and those that don't.

Cisco or Baltimore Cisco. Either would be good. Baltimore Slim
How about "Diablo". That was the name of the Cisco Kid's horse.
Perhaps you could explore your family roots, like I did, to find a name.
My first name, Tramp, was a playful euphemism my Father used in describing my Mother.
Steamer, came from what my Grandfather's dog did in the yard, when let out on a cold frosty morning.
Rather catchy, don't you think?
How about 'Corned Beef'? It goes good with cabbage which is what you'll need plenty of if you give pt, the 6.

Oooh.. Old Bay is pretty good, now I'm rethinking my entire life...
That was my point. If you have a nickname that was BESTOWED upon you, it was for a reason. So why would you be looking for a new one from people who don't even know you?? Whatever ... it's all good. Good luck WillyCornbread. Oh, and pt109 doesn't need all that weight ... he's looking to trap you! :wink:

I thought everybody from Baltimore just called each other "Hun"?
Or if you are really into crabs, maybe we should call you "itchy or scratch"
Sorry couldn't resist.

BTW, your original post seams like something that should be on a dating website.... Just saying.
