How do you picture the forum members looking like, if you have not met them?

There was a post Texas Carom Club did of holding his cue, it was not at all how I pictured him looking like, with a big-ass arm with a large tattoo LOL. Maybe because I see Carom players as skinnier guys in suits. Anyone have a built-in picture of what some of the regulars should look like based on their postings and screen name?

They are just programs, they are not human.

This is just like C:\start.exe everyone is just an automated text database.

Or they are telnet> Hello

Not really what you're asking, but there is a regular poster that sounds very wise and experienced. I reckoned he was really good. Then I came across a video of him playing and was surprised by the very mediocre play. Not going to name and shame.

As I stand in line at TAP events, there is a basic look of pool players. I think we probably match that. The Uber driver who picked me up in Vegas predicted my buddy and I were poker players from the way we walked and talked. I'm sure the Venn diagram of pool and poker has a ton of overlap.

Well if I ran into myself I'm assuming a very intelligent looking handsome man.

Then I look in the mirror and its a confirmation.

I imagine this is what Bob Jewett looks like. Got that college professor vibe.

I thought this was the professor.

I wish more people would post videos, but it takes balls to do that with the peanut gallery. Everyone is a pro until it's time to swing the cue in front of an audience. I've run a million balls in my head.

It's actually not too far off, just quite a bit shorter and white hair. He is like a 3/4 size Dr Dave hehe.

I've met Bob, even played a couple games of pool with him. He's not as tall as Dave.
Probably plays a bit better than Dave or me, as well.

I think i know who you mean.
He was from N.Y. and we met up here in Denver two times while he was out here visiting relative's.
He warned me prior to our first meet that he was a straight pool player with a high run of 130.
He couldn't run 5 balls on an open table both times we played.
Then a video surfaced of him playing and he was exposed as a wanna be,soon after he disappeared from the forum.

That's me and Cuebuddy on the left from Vail.
Cuebuddy can play pretty good for an old guy.

I picture everyone with gray hair till proven otherwise. Also, they have physiques befitting of the 'before' photos on dieting and fitness sites.
Their voices sound like they spent entirely too much time in smoke filled bars n poolhalls back when that was a thing. Kareoke singing range: Leonard Cohen.

I imagine several sex idols/erotic players.

A few of you sound like you need regular STD testing.

More than a few would be lab coats or military engineers. No one was using the internet in 90s. 00s was still slow.

How many of you invented parts of the internet hardware or software? I grew up near Westinghouse and NYNEX labs.

was there a toxic waste dump nearby? If so that would explain a lot.
