Thanks for posting this video...!! That was hilarious...
He is so droll while talking about how they are desperately searching for a pocket...
Perhaps the funniest thing, though, are the comments below the video...
I honestly think some of those people don't realize that the commentary is a gaff... LOL
There was a team of players at the BCA Nationals in Vegas a couple years ago that didn't read the rules thoroughly and went to the match with most of them wearing shorts. Pants are required. One player on the team was wearing pants so after he finished playing he took his pants off and handed them to the next player. This continued for quite some time. I think they ended up beating the pants off the team they were playing though...
I was playing $10 one pocket with a friend, and I was up a couple of games. My friend said he had to leave, but we could play one more game.
Somewhere during the course of this game, I sold out, and left him with a ball hanging VERY deep in his pocket. He played a very soft combination to pocket the hanger, and replace it with the first OB. The balls jammed together between the points, and nothing fell. He left me nothing, so I played safe, (badly), and left him another shot.
This time he rifles a ball into the two balls that are sitting in his hole. He hits them both at the same time, and STILL nothing dropped.
I realized that for all practical purposes, my opponent had NO pocket, and I could shoot whatever I wanted. The balls were wedged so tightly that nothing could possibly go in that pocket.
I played safe a little, sold out on purpose a couple times, just to watch and laugh at my ill-fated friend....who had absolutely zero chance of winning.
After I eventually won the game, we had a very tough time getting those balls unstuck.
I remember exclaiming, "I'm the best one pocket player in the world, when my opponent doesn't have a hole to shoot at!"
Never seen anything like it, before or since.

During a league match, my buddy, who is a C player was playing a guy that was an A player.
We were all watching the TV show Sport Science at the bar. It was the episode where they make stunt guys take one to the cookies for "science". Well my friends opponent was putting together a nice run, and just as he was stroking on the 8-ball this guy on TV takes a 90 MPH tennis ball off his toolwork.
My entire team erupts in drunken laughter...the guy ends up putting the 8 in the wrong pocket. Good thing he was really easy going guy, or that could have gotten ugly fast.

In about 1997, I played a guy named Carlos in a Tri-state tour event and the score was 5-4, his favor, in a race to seven, when he asked to be excused to feed the parking meter. A few minutes later, he was nowhere to be found. And the same was true half an hour after that. In fact, he never returned, so I won the match by forfeit.
It was weeks before I learned that his parked car had been hit by another car, and that he had gone to the police station to report the accident.

Allright, I'll contribute. I will keep it short for fear of getting shot.
I am sitting at a table talking to this quite hefty fellow who's name I will not mention. Some of you will instantly know who I am talking about. He was staking Johnny some at the time. (Early 90's) Well anyway, we're watching matches and bs'ing. Well, the television behind us is showing "America's Most Wanted." My talk partner happens to turn around just as they are showing his case. There he was. He just calmly stands up and says, "Well, I guess that's my cue to go. See ya guys." And, then walks out. I sat and watched the rest of the segment.
I hope he doesn't read this. Those of you that know who I'm talking about, is he still alive?

Yeah they lost. Good bunch of guys though. This same team got into another ordeal earlier in the tourney. They were in the 4th match and about to go into sudden death. So both players start running around the table shooting. Full sprint not just a fast pace. These weren't little guys either. After the 4th match is finished the next guys are getting ready, 1 guy racks (just a teammate not the player) no lag and one of them breaks. They beat sudden death by seconds. The ref is standing their keeping an eye on the time. Laughing his ass off of course. It looked like a ******* fire drill.
Too funny! I worked at the APA National Team Championships last year and have to admit you see some crazy stuff!
LMAO! Great story!
Too funny!! Great starter story!!!
This didn't happen to me but it is pretty funny just the same. A friend of mine is playing in a tournament and he goes to the john. When he comes back he grabs his cue and starts running out this incredibly hard rack. His opponent is just staring at him like he is crazy or something. After making a tough shot on the 9-ball he turns around and people are still looking at him funny...turns out he just ran out the balls sitting on an adjacent table to his match! LOL
OMG too funny!!!
Wow!! Hahahahahahaha
That's an interesting story.
Yes they do!! Its gotten really pretty good too, I suggested they do a raffle ticket break and run contest, and it has brought in a lot more players, we haven't had less that at least 20. Practice at 7:30, tournament starts at 8:30, $10 entry, and you get a free raffle ticket, and then they are $1 a piece. Hope to see ya there.... as long as I don't draw you...lol
im gambling with a guy tonight and when im down shootin i hear a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!!...i look up and on the table next to me there is another guy gamblin and as he was walkin around the table his pants got caught on the corner pocket and ripped big time!! his left butt cheek was hangin out of his pants!!! funny as hell!!!!
