Mosconiac hit the nail on the head.

It would be really nice if other areas kind of did what we do. I highly recommend starting a thread for your local guys. I'd say it covers about 60% of the action and always includes the hot topics and latest 'big' match ups going down. Try it out, it could be helpful!

my area (syracuse) does not merit this kind of thread. imo there are stuck in somekind of rut. when i went in the room and asked if anyone seen dennis on the mosconi cup stream when it was in progress they didn't know anything about it. it was like oh dennis is on the team ? when is the mosconi cup ? and where ? they have no clue what goes on. internet forums and sites and live streams are unheard of in the rooms here. and no updates are needed, the same guys play the same game the same way. nothing new goin on here. pitiful and pathetic is all i can say about this area. it is a joke and not haha funny. i gave up on them and do not frequent the rooms anymore. been here 5 years and haven't had many games to speak of. beat them up in tournaments till they overated me out of contention. it is what it is and i am happy to be close to my grandkids. i get my poolfix here and watching live streams. :cool:

Let me get this straight...out of all of the words I mis-spelled in that post (something like 10 of them!), you just couldn't let "potatos" go? LOL

You must have hated this guy:

lolol! Not only was that guy a shining spokesman for his party, a trailblazing precedent for the future, even, but he has since made everyone unnecessarily paranoid over the spelling of potato (and all variations.)

No, I meant in cooking, you really can't mess up a potato: mashed, baked, twice- baked, fried, boiled, stewed, skinned or not, hash browned, baked in a meatpie, thick cut or thin chipped, souped, made into potato pancakes with onions, served any which way with pepper, butter, paprika, chili powder, salt, cheddar, gorgonzola, garlic, parmesan... You just can't mess up a potato.

to make this pool related:

I love to ask people behind poolroom counters, "What's been going on around here lately?" and I always hear the same old knee jerk "Nothing much," every single time. Now we might both know there was a fight there last night after drunk so- and- so refused to pay angry such- and- such after a race to x, and such- and- such had to shoot every shot behind his back and STILL won, but that will only possibly be discussed later in the conversation. The automatic answer to "Any stories lately?" will ALWAYS be "Nothin much."

: )
 
No wonder they're always in poolrooms! I am jealous of your thread and would like the participation you guys get on my Lizard Acres update. The players in West Phoenix either don't have computers or ,"Not Much," is happening.
 
Players come from players

The great Welker Cochran was born in the Des Moines area in 1897.
His spirit lives on. Good for you guys.
I hope there's a picture of Welker in your pool hall.
If not i'll send you one.
