That’s correct too late
I don’t like it

That’s for sure. I’m a retard. That’s a known fact. I just didn’t feel it necessary to repeat it. Everyone know’s that, it’s never been disputed.

Sorry but this word is inappropriate. And has been removed from the Chilton automotive book. Cannot retard the timing.
Bobby Pickle was awesome!Ok here it goes. I can’t keep it bottled up any longer.
Where to start? Who knows so I’ll just fire out a list in no particular order:
Purple 5 ball
Shaws record
WADA
Was this a foul? Was that a foul? Let’s watch in instant replay.
Where’s Daz, where’s Gorst? Who else is missing?
Table specs & what’s a record and what isn’t.
This is reminding me of instant replay in football and is way to technical, which is why I ignore football or any other technical nonsense milk drinker sport.
I came into pool 40 years ago because it was rough around the edges, the 5 was orange and people weren’t under the microscope. If they had habits it was on them. It was every man for himself. It wasn’t perfect, it was broken then and that was ok.
People could hustle other people, obtaining money under false pretenses was celebrated not looked down on.
You wanted to learn you had to pay your dues. Now you can buy your dues(almost).
2 records in the same run? To make everyone happy. The rule nazi’s and the rest of the pool fans? How does that even make sense?
Champions who should be in tourneys are sidelined for saying “fuk” or what ever or because they are from the wrong country.
All the PC shit is worming it’s way into pool. Had I saw this coming, I’d have passed long ago. I’d have never been part of the pool world in any shape or form.
I miss guys like UJ Puckett, Grady, Keith, Cole, Bobby Pickle, etc. Broken people with personality’s and yet they made their way in life and were fun. I’m a broken person and I can’t make a ball compared to them. Not in the same league, but I’m fun and not a milk drinker. There were lots of non-pro people in pool who were personality’s. I don’t see new ones coming in and others leaving for these PC reasons.
I’m tired of the milk drinker robots, wrong color balls and constantly arguing over the pocket size just to have a record “modified” because maybe a ball was brushed ina exhibition. Shaw was cool and said what he had to about it-he’s smart, however what he thought and said I’d bet are 2 VERY different things. Think the guys listed above would have gave that answer 30 years ago? Shaw had no choice-again he’s smart.
It’s taking the seediness, smoky back room Allure that pool had for me. WADA? Gtfo of here!!!! Go to the Olympic’s not pool!!!!
If I disappear tmr from pool this is why, not many will notice. But I refuse to succumb to the current state of affairs.

I’m glad I was able to film him
I know of a pool room that's a throw back to the 1960 (not decorated to look old...never changed). Lots of old guys hanging around looking for a sucker to steal from. The vast majority of all the conversation is not politicaly correct. It's my absolute favorite place to spend a Saturday.

Great question & it deserves a much better answer than I can give you right now.
I really like and respect that line of thinking.
I started with the purple 5 ball
But in all seriousness you have a valid point. What am I going to do? When I have a answer I’ll certainly make a point of answering it.
What can I do?
What resources am I working with?
Who can I convince to do what?
I can’t fix what’s broken, complaining isn’t a solution-it’s a extension of my frustration. Which really hit me with Shaw’s record becoming 2 numbers. He’s a hell of a great guy in my book, he’s take a lot of heat for playing on a gaffed table-I’d like to see anyone run that many in that table. Then to have it chopped down because he bumped a ball in a exhibition was the straw that broke the camels back-for me. He should be celebrated not knocked for the table or maybe brushing a ball. He handled it like a pro in that interview. Yeah I’m a Shaw fan and consider him a friend-although I don’t speak to him in the regular, I’m sure if I saw him more I would. So I’m biased a bit.
That’s how we got here and the double espresso I drank just before I started this thread.
But again, what am I gonna do? What can I do?
I’ll be pure and honest-that’s a fact.

That was a half assed joke in my post. They had a idea, pumped loads of $ into it. I respect that. I don’t know how that story even ended. It wasn’t a shot at them. I was busting balls-all geeked up on espresso

Your not wrong, neither is TrentFatboy, not often I’ll jump into a thread like this but I have to agree with Trent a bit here. You just need to get out & play some pool. Hanging out on the Internet lamenting about the past is a sure path to depression. Cheers
Amen Eric!

the purple 5 ball is a huge problem and needs to be protested .... jayson shaws record...who cares
That looks like a beautiful place except for a couple things...people. I don't really care for people! (Please accept my apology if this is you, your son or friend. The statement isn't personal. This is just my bitter, cynical attitude.)
