How do you play pool when your nose won't stop running?

Put two tiny pieces of cotton ball up your nose and breathe through your mouth. I would really try that if I couldn't wait til it stopped running.

Either that or a rolled up tissue. If you really want to be offensive you could go with a couple of tampons......that's what I'd probably do.

the strings get in your mouth though

If you use tampons that would be considered sharking - besides the fact it is totally disgusting! lol :D

Stop sniffling. The snot is trying to come out. Quit trying to hold it in.

Get a Kleenex and blow your nose. Repeat as neccesary.

Problem solved.

LMFAO!!!!!!
 
Amazing, I thought I was the only one who had this problem. I've only struggled with it for 30 or 40 years. One thing though, when my nose was running I was usually playing pretty good. I just had to keep wiping it off.
 
Oh yeah I just thought of one other thing. STOP DOING BLOW!!!!!! :D:D:D

I played in a final with Bobby Hunter, and when I broke the balls one game, I got a bloody nose. I tried to play with my head about a foot higher and constantly sniffing back the blood... Accidentally got some on the table. Lost the first set, and instead of taking a break I went and jammed a ginormous amount of toilet paper in my nose and tried to play.... Very embarrassing pictures.

2nd is the first loser!!!
 
There is a product called "ocean" it is basically salt water, (saline) and if you squirt it up you nose, and super saturate you sinus they will in many cases stop running. It is available GENERICALLY at most places like Walgreens, or Wal-Mart. Contrary to popular you need to Drown a cold to get rid of it not starve it for moisture. FYI
 
Sometimes when I have severe cold, my nose runs like a leaky faucet. I usually take Alka-Seltzer plus cold and pop two sudafed pills. Then walk into the pool hall with my cues and a box of Kleenex with 'Lotion' :)

My local room has seen it many a times:)

Its very hard! Around 1990 I played in the european championship in Italy during the summer, and had a straight pool match in the team competition against an up and coming Finnish player called Mika Immonen..

Both of us suffered from severe allergy (grass / highfever), and played the match with a tissue in one hand and the cue in the other. Both had red eyes, were itching, sneezing and generally feeling lousy.

I ended up winning that match (early Mika days...)

Some years later I spoke to him about this, and both of us had since then found out that Zyrtec works well against allergy.

One day, if I feel real masoschistic, I will tell you guys about the second time I played Mika, 10+ years later.:eek:
