Is the Object Ball just a "Mirrored Reflection" of the Cue Ball

here's a STUPID question for SJD & CJ -

(i ask this, cause yáll are past exhausting, yet in some realm continue to be entertaining @ 2am-6am)

have yáll EVER picked up the phone?
:yikes:

i think that Mr Bond needs to hold a LIVE conference call for ABR & settle this.
 
it's tough to talk over the voices in his head anyway

I talk to dear ole Dad all the time.....of course he usually has his hearing aid off (by mistake).....it's tough to talk over the voices in his head anyway. ;)
 
ok, here's ANOTHER STUPID question for SJD & CJ -

yáll are both "Pros", in your own rights. albeit Hall of Famers - which is tonight's timely ABR release. why can't yáll respect each other for what you've accomplished (in respective eras), and move on?

i read AZB for yáll's valued input regarding pool tips & history. you both have a lot to contribute - but i can't sift it through yáll's bullshit.

I respect SJD for whatever he's done, whatever that is. I'm surprised I'd never heard of him before, guess he was just too far before my time.

Simply put, SJD is a bitter old man who is most likely losing it and CJ is having a little fun with the old man;) CJ isn't picking on him, he's just answering all of SJD's posts! It's really funny when you think about:)

I was involving myself with both of them but I have up (on SJD) on him because he's "special";) and you don't argue with "special" people! It's a rule.

Now, I could argue with CJ all day and night because he's not as "special" as SJD;) so it would be a good and challenging debate. Only problem is,,,, there isn't much for me and CJ to argue about! I'm sure if we did disagree on something, he would listen to my side and I would listen to his and then we would both go our separate ways! Shaking hands and respecting each other just as much as we did before!

It's called respect! Something many pool players lack because some are "special" :)

P.S. I said "many" not ALL!!

This is an interesting post I must confess;) maybe Mr. SJD can shed some light (however dim) on "what HE'S done"! We know of many of your accomplishments CJ, now maybe we can read something from the,,,,,, "great"?? SJD?
 
i've PMd with both of them. (and i've slapped CJ back from here to TX through the phone; he took it like a man; resolved it like a gentleman).

BOTH of them are equally witted from what i've seen - when they've got their game on. BOTH of them are accredited players in their rights. BOTH of them are irritating, (yet entertaining). as i understand the history of 1-fricken-year ago, this is all over POKER RULES of TEXAS 2-SHOT HOLD'EM...?

i suggest (since this obviously can't be cured with a damn phone call), that we all take up a collection (like we did with CLEARY), and settle it on the table. i'll bring the deck of cards from Hard Rock!
:grin-square:

google Dick McMorran
unless i'm high, he's a Hall of Famer
 
very cool, Lou. (but that doesn't let you off the hook for the conference call w/ ABR!).

i've never read any press on SJD. i only knew what KK9 told me. SJD doesn't brag.

336ROBIN needs to be talking to Dick for his book.

The only thing I would have to talk about, is how crappy things have been these past few years !..As many of you know, I recently lost my sweetheart (my wife) of 37 years..She was 11 years younger than me !..A few months ago, I lost my closest companion since Kathy died, my little dachsie, who was only 10 yrs. old..I miss them both terribly !

Then yesterday, my lifelong best friend's wife called to tell me he passed away in his sleep last night !..He was only 71, and we all thought he was in perfect health. I have spent way too many days, going to other close friends funerals these past few years..I guess I'm looking for pity but things keep piling up, and I'm trying to explain why I may get a little cranky at times!

I am in poor health myself, so I really can't figure out why I'm still here ?..They were all better people, than I ever was !..My doctors want to go in and patch me up, with stents and stuff, so I just quit going to them !..I am not a religious person, but if there is a hereafter, I am ready to join them all, any time now !..I may start drinking and smoking again, just to speed up the process! :o

Have a nice day !

I believe constructive criticism and friendly disagreements/arguments are healthy.
Constantly arguing for no reason is a waste of time. imho

My objective here is simple - to help pool players understand a champion level player's perspective.
I was told this was doing a service and until further notice I'll continue
passing on my experience, knowledge and techniques free of charge.

SJD has wasted a lot of my time with his senseless comments HOWEVER, I do see him as someone that needs sympathy, and compassion,
so I'll continue to treat him like "Dad". :yeah::wave::hug:

that sucks, Dick. we had no idea, but it explains a lot. thank you, for sharing. don't let frustration, denial, and anger get the best of you. push through it, and rely on your friends to carry you when you can't stand. mend bridges. our legacy, is others' memories.

..And stop calling me 'Dad', or I swear I will shoot one of us in the head ! :(

Sorry, binging on Game of Thrones :-)

As to the rest, one thing that's important, if you're a true fan of the game, is to spend the smallest amount of time delving into its history.

SJD is among the greats of 1pocket along with Hayden Lingo, Eddie Kelly, Jimmy Fusco, Rags Fitzpatrick, Strawberry Brooks, and others who may not have gained the notoriety of Ronnie Allen, Steve Cook, Cliff Joyner, Jose Parica, and others.

Someone who says they don't know of a great players history is showing that they are not a true fan of the game. That is not something to be proud of in today's day and age when you can inform yourself in a few minutes, with a few clicks of the mouse.

You are no champion. No matter how many times you state it.

Free of charge......how much for lessons?

How much for your DVDs?

No one can waste your time....only you can so do don't go blaming SJD for you wasting your time.

Since you don't know about the greats......search for Babe Cranfield .....that is a champion....you are a blowhard.
