Is sh*ting in a ball a bad thing?

I watched a streaming video tournament for the first time last night. It was Janet and Ashley at Magoo’s. The last game of the match was hill/hill. They each shot safe, safe, safe, safe. Real nice safes too. Then the last girl, sorry I don’t know who, kicked at the eight and shit it in. I could not believe the oddities coming from the chat, never mind the commentator. Which is okay with me but they were clearly upset by the shot.
I have not played pool in 10 years. So, is shitting in a ball a bad thing now?
 
Some people are on a mission to take luck completely out of the game. The fact they can't face is, "It's part of the game. In many ways they still fail to realize. It's not only about lucking in a ball."
 
I have nothing against shitting in balls on accident. If a ball goes in by chance, then SEVERAL other balls will NOT go in by chance. It's just how it works. You have six tiny openings over ~290 inches of rail space. The odds that something goes in by chance are low.
 
It is no more good than bad. Winner win; loser lose.

The rules clearly state that if you make a shot you keep shooting, so it works both ways. Both players playing by the same rules too.
 
3 cushion players always acknowledge a lucky hit to their opponent. Luck is part of the game, but an accidental make should be followed by some gesture. If you act like you meant it when you clearly didn't, that is not too cool

Okay, I know for a fact that this was a 9-ball tournament. If someone was KICKING at the EIGHT-BALL in a game of 9-ball, it was PROBABLY luck (or should I say, bad luck) that she was "hooked" to begin with. So, if she got unluckily (is that a word? :D) hooked, kicked and luckily MADE the eight-ball, she deserves every bit of that shot as far as I'm concerned. What goes 'round comes 'round. Hell, even if she was shooting out from a safety, ya gotta give her credit for hitting the ball AND hitting it HARD enough for it to maybe find a hole. That was good thinking on her part 'cause with only 2 balls on the table, a kick-safe was out-of-the-question.

Do you mean like 'Hooray, pay me!' :wink:
 
To tell you the truth, I don't think the word shit is an appropriate word to use on this forum.
Shit is a vile and ugly word, denoting vileness and ugliness, and it smells bad to. Did you ever have someone say to you. "Man, you smell like shit!" Well, I have.
And what about shat, the past tense of shit. Very confusing sometimes. "I took a shit this morning and it was a very nice shit I shat. There's nothing better than having shat on a beautiful Spring day."
How about shitty? Is that like kind of shit, but not quite? Sort of like pretty is to beautiful? Very confusing.
Add to all that; shit-for-brains, shitfaced, shitaree, shit-in-a-hat, shit-like-an-adult, don't know shit, ain't got shit, are you shitting me?
Whew! After all of that, all I can say is. "It's the shits, ain't it?" :D

Tramp, I will say this. Your words of wisdom always make my eyes glow.....hell, just reading your post makes me want to go sit on the toilet....hold on for dear life, thrust my leggs straight out, scream like I just woke up and Freddie Cruger "or Eddie Wheat" was right in my face and take the most massive shit I can muster.......I think I will name this turd after you!
 
Sh*tting in a ball is ONLY a bad thing when you're playing against me.
That being said, if I do it, its totally acceptable.

True Story. She did deserve some credit but all I saw and heard where negitive responses. Okay from the peanut gallery but the commentators should of shown a little more professionalism.

There may have been something else going on that I am unaware of.

Got it! So what is the term used now for 'kwapping a ball in'? I also need to know what the 'tit' is called. I see they don't use that either.
 
You cant fault her here. All she was trying to do was make contact with the object ball. It just so happens she made it too. Its a different story when someone is shooting the ball in a certain pocket and it rattles and goes into another pocket...to me that is shitting a ball in.

Oh, ft, you're gonna make me blush.
Say, did you ever eat a bunch of Mexican food late at night and then the next morning have it burn while you're on the crapper?
Well, next time eat a big bunch of ice cream after the Mexican food so that the next morning you can sit there and holler. "Come on ice cream!"
Just another helpful hint from your friend Tramp. :)
