If you find yourself constantly using pool lingo in your everyday life you might be a pool freak.

Examples:
"That girl is so hot she gives the world the last 2."

"That movie Wall-e..lemme tell ya..its the NUTS!"

"What..? you want to go swimming? You got ACTION buddy!"

(looking under the hood of a new vette) "Whoa! thats STRONG like Donkey Kong!"

(Just knocked over a drink) "Damn...I just dogged it!"

LOL that is funny, I was with my wife and kids in the car trying to find my way to somewhere and they were going mental in that back and I told them "You guys gotta keep it down I'm trying to get to this place and you guys keep sharking me. The good thing in my kids now tell the teacher at school that the kid sat next to them is sharking them on the test. :)
 
> I literally tried to run into a still-burning house after my cue case,does that count? Tommy D.

U read my mind. I was watching the cowboys game the other day and told my mom "damn they couldve won if they wouldve just gotten a few rolls" she had no idea what i was talking about. My fiance did though :)
 
Here's a random one: sometimes when I'm in other people's houses or apartments I size up their different rooms and try to picture if they could fit a pool table in the room, and if so, a 7, 8 or 9 foot. I do this at people's places that don't even play pool for some reason. Maybe some weird obsessive-compulsive spatial relations exercise?

Ok, I know these are not jokes but observations from my own habbits. This was inspired by Cuephoric in a message I recieved.

1) If you have ever taken a pencil or pen and stroked it through a open or closed bridge .. You Might be a pool freak.

2) If you can't look at certain shades of blue without thinking 860 .. You might be a pool freak.

3) If you have ever got on your hands and knees and hit a golfball with the butt of your putter into the hole while playing golf .. You might be a pool freak.

4) If you can use the words Balls, stroke, shaft, grip, butt and squirt in a conversation and not understand why anyone else thinks it funny .. You mightbe a pool freak.

5) If you have ever asked ANYONE what is the best way to wash your balls .. you might be a pool freak.

6) if you have made a playing pool stance for no reason when there are no pool tables around on the back of the couch, dinning room table etc .. You mightbe a pool freak.

7) If you have ever tried to convice your spouse that the living room or bedroom would be a great spot to put a pool table .. You might be a pool freak.

8) If you are scared that your spouse will break your ribs if they catch you playing, watching or spending more $$ on Pool .. You might be a pool freak.

9) If you can introduce yourself to someone in a pool room as Smorgy, Bigtruck, JAM or some other stupid handle and they know exactly who you are .. You might be a pool freak.

I am sure there are more, and I know that 99% of anyone who reads this has done at least 1 of these.

I must be really over the edge. I can honestly admit to #'s 2,3, and 4 and #7 if the dining room qualifies.:o
 
I have drawn nine ball layouts on sketch paper and then made a continuous line to show how I would get out....yea I know...wow

I have without hesitation told a girl I was waxing my balls over the phone.

The above with saying I am cleaning my shaft.

I have been caught in my bedroom watching pool late at night....roomate thought I had some weird fetish.

When in waiting rooms I have been seen making a bridge and asked if I had a nerve disease.

.....I think we all have our moments :)
 
Guilty on all counts.

If you habitually see how balls other than pool balls "spin".
If you look at patterns on things and think either that would look good in a cue or that's a banking/kicking line.

All of the above(even when I wasnt playing for a few years) except the spouse thing, I would never be in a relationship where I had to fade that compalining about what I do, I would just be alone-I refuse to deal with that sort of stuff on any level, thankfully I dont have to I have a great chick!!!!:thumbup:
 
if more than half of the ornaments on your tree are pool related! :)

and your pool junky wife gave them to you....:thumbup:
 
house cues

. . . walked into three or more places and know how over half the house cues on the wall play . . .

. . . . walked into strange halls and spot the best playing house cues from across the room . . .

old school hustling was mostly about house cues and snagging the right cue without making a big deal out of it was important. Watching a stranger walk in the door and grab a house cue might be all it took to throw up the red flags though, if another hustler was watching.

Yeah it's weird, but I do the same thing. It's like you're trying to figure out if that houses layout would work for a pool table.

If you've ever been in the dressing room at a store and bend over into your stance to see either 1) whether your boobs will show too bad from the front:eek: .... or 2) whether the clothes make your butt look too big from the back:thumbup: ..... you might be a really VAIN pool freak.

:rotflmao1:
And you have a selection of clothes devoted to playing (actually my wardrobe has morphed into mostly "playable" clothes, with non playable clothes pushed to the back). Packing for tournaments is a true art form, from undergarments to shoes! I haven't worn my heels or long necklaces outside of work for a long time! The fashion police can :kma:

If you always try to avoid picking up something wet or dirty with your bridge hand regardless of where you are at . . .

Guilty Your Honor!!! :)
 
If your wife has gone into pre-term labor, but you won't leave the pool hall because it's during play-offs, you are probably a pool freak . . . and an idiot. But we did win. :grin:
