Give-aways of pool wanna-bees

Don't feel bad bro, I think the glove looks gay too. LOL there is a guy that comes in where I play that wears a white one so I call him Michael Jackson
I agree
Yeh, there's one place I go now and then, that is in the basement floor of a city building. The hot water pipes for
the building run through the ceiling, and it gets so hot in there, I have been known to use a glove. It comes down to whether or not I want to take the looks, as I do admit it is not the most manly looking thing.
You always hear at least one person say Micheal Jackson, if not more... Oh well, it can be funny also.
Now an oven mitt, jeez, is he a chef?

Any person, whom calls them self a pool player, that logs more hours in front of a computer on a pool website in a week, than on a pool table working on their game (sorry, the truth hurts, and if the shoe fits....).
Why not help the new player(s) out? It is obvious they have an infatuation with the game, with a little encouragement perhaps they will develop a passion for the game.
The age old pool room practice of "Eating the Young" needs to end entirely.
Some of you may be thinking "What about the cocky ones?" Play 'em anyway. The foot end of the table and a constant rack in their hands tends to humble their attitude or maybe even yours.

Saw some entries mentioning magnetic chalk holders. Hmmm, I used a magnetic chalk holder for years! But now, it's different - i just got my very unique chalk holder from fellow Azer, Pulzcul!
The chalkholder is very beautiful! And Pulzcul is a great guy to deal with! And I kid you not!

I get a kick out of the participants (I can't bring myself to call them players) who ask for "chalk" to apply to their hands.Cuebacca said:OK, now I feel I should add something to the list.
How about those white hand prints all over the cloth. When I see that, something tells me that the last guy to use the table was not a world champion. I want to tell them, hey buddy, only a small part of your bridge hand actually touches the cue, and it's not your palm! This is Simonis pool cloth, not your finger-painting canvas!Hehe.

This is a somewhat odd point of view, considering I feel very confident that I and most anyone else can generate a much louder bang with their break shot. I frequently put the ball try about 6" over the cloth and sort of pull it out as if trying to pull the table cloth out from under a table full of dishes. It makes a dull ball clattering noise-WAY less loud than breaking the balls which makes a similar type of noise. It quickly spreads the balls over the table to warm up. Just curious what the problem with this is...
Thanks for any info,

Just a few days ago, had a group of guys on a table next to me, every shot they were crowding around the pocket, on the 8-ball shot, one would stand by the pocket and put their hand in the hole waiting for the ball

How about the people that apply a huge amount of powder to BOTH hands then rub it around like it's some type of magic dust to make them play better. <-- just something I saw on Saturday night

similarly, i always laugh when i see someone chalk their cue by holding the chalk still in one hand and they shake the butt of the cue with the other hand to move the tip around the chalk.

One of the most memorable quotes I read was in an article in BD. He was playing some show-off that was tossing his C-level game around some non-players, and to get the guy riled up, he was "cueing his chalk instead of chalking the cue".
Or how about those who shoot the cue ball rail first call it a "bank"? Or maybe those who shoot a six ball into the four (which I thought was a combo) but they call the four "off the six" (which I thought was a carom)?
My wife, who knows nothing about pool (except that I spent too much time and money at it) actually made the following statement towards the end of a run out - "Wow honey, you are running with the table!". I love her, so I couldn't laught too hard at the image in my mind of me hauling a** around the pool hall with a nine foot Brunswick on my back.

I use a glove to play pool too. It is impossible to play pool without it. I really have sweaty hands my que won't glide if I play without it.
I blow my tip after chalking maybe because I saw Doherty do it on tv
And i'm thinking of getting a magnetic chalk holder because i'm tired of walking around the table for my piece of chalk.
So in that case i'm a wanne be
My brother in law is one to. He racks 8 ball in a specific order. He spins the 8 ball, he has this rule that you can make 3 fouls on the 8 ball before you loose. He has a 100 miles/hour shot, and he jumps by scooping the ball

Its all about the bridge.
I'm not exactly a world beater myself, but I've found that the bridge is the biggest give away of a world beater.
