It's the little things that entertain me

I always leave mine on a rail in a bar... when it doesn't fit into my pocket chalker anymore :eek: ... the best is the banger telling his girlfriend all the players in here suck ... good chalk has a hole in it LOL..
 
Was it in Reno, just to watch him die?
Or rather, it was good that you didn't have to kill him twice, those night of the living dead zombies are hard to off.

I'm a chalk thief.

There. I said it.

I always keep some in my case, and I often do end up leaving it behind after I have to pull it out by necessity. I figure I've stolen 3 pieces total, just the ones in my case, and that I just continually replace them throughout Sacramento. So now Diamond has some Hard Times has some Jointed Cue has some Hard Times chalk.

(and I like to be sneaky about stealing it, too- the palming, the swiping it from other tables... That adds to the fun.)

wow i guess i take chalk stealing to the next level. i take at least 1 piece every time i go to the pool hall. i have 10 pieces on a table in my room, 4 pieces in my car, 2 in my jacket and i make a point to leave a piece at any bar i go to that doesn't have a decent piece
 
I am in a Moose Lodge. The table is by the exit door. There are quarters lined up on the table. A very old regular walks by to leave and rakes all of the quarters into his hand and then proceeds to walk out the door.

Another time someone sees the pennies that are under the rails for markers and takes them figuring that this is their lucky day.

WTF? With the people who placed the quarters all right there? That's some brass ones.

We all looked at each other and just shrugged it off. We felt if he needed them that bad to do that he could have them. Plus no one wanted to start anything with the old SOB. It was kind of a no win situation if we did.

Maybe I didn't put that gold thing on the correct "specific" finger, cause she kept peddlin' the pie. May ex-she rest in her pieces...
 
A Chalk Gift

A gift from out of nowhere.....gentleman came up to me last night, no introductions, no words....just placed a piece of chalk on the table and said, " there ya go Perm, I got your back "

All is well :D
 
Well, I lost both my Blue Diamond last weekend. It was a fast playing sudden death round-robin tournament, so you played 1 rack each 20min or so. Forgot to pack it back in my case after a match and when I played the next match on another table I realized it and went back to the table I've played on before. A drilled Master and a Triangle were left...

And it was a pretty new piece of BD, so it could be clearly read that it was THE piece of chalk, two pieces worth as much as a dozen Masters:angry:

I hate that crap. Ive had guys walk by and pick up the quarters and give em to me, and they look at me all smug like they just caught me slippin. That and the upside down chalk and the guys who grab chalk off your table while your shooting make me wanna smack somebody. Im getting pissed just thinkin about it.:mad:
 
The owners in my pool room were skimping on the chalk, and then as soon as my husband and I bought our own, they started putting two new pieces and two old pieces in the trays.

That's when the two good pieces started showing up in the pockets of the tables. It seems to be an unspoked rule now - 8 times out of 10 you'll find 2-3 good pieces of chalk in the pockets.

And yeah, my husband switches out our fairly new chalk for any better pieces we get in our tray. Doesn't sit well with me, I stop him half the time...

You put the ring on the correct finger,marriage only ends their sexual
appetite for their spouse.
 
I do the opposite... I throw 'em away. Our room owner got some silver cup (which is supposedly really nice) but I hated it, a lot of players started miscuing like crazy. It's just a little dryer than master and brunswick. I groused and he hasn't been putting it out as much but there's still plenty left. I think he recently got a free sample of a sorta no-name brand, and I'm hating that too. I quietly slip 1 a day into the trash so that the ratio of good chalk to junk improves.

I feel a little sleazy about it tho.
 
My ex brother inlaw invited us over for ribeyes everytime the brisket went on sale, No Joke. We always accepted but I wouldn't go to the store with
him.I don't know how many times he put a brisket price tag on rib rack, but I would bet at least 20.

Is that like taking lipstick off of a pig? No, that's not a good analogy.

That takes some balls! Any cashier with a clue can tell the difference, but then I guess old sleight of the hand neighbor would feign ignorance!
