Jay I wanted to play you at the U.S. Open 9 Ball Championship for $50 a game, one pocket, not having the slightest idea how you played. You agreed to that but when I met you there you asked me to reduce the bet to $20 a game and I did so without blinking an eye because that's the kind of guy I am. Maybe you wanted to clock my speed. Maybe you had a case of the shorts. Maybe you just didn't want to bet $50. It doesn't matter why. You asked me to reduce the bet and I did and didn't make any mention about it until now. I came out one game ahead because you were using a crooked sneaky pete.
Then we agreed to play some $100 one pocket at 2008 DCC and I waited around for 9 days for you to play but it didn't happen. It didn't happen because YOU didn't want to play.
Now you want me to make a special effort to give you a chance to play me. Is that where you want to play, Jay? In South Dakota? Really? Just for the record, you had better have some really good answers because I doubt that I will be traveling to any other states in the next 12 months except to play in pool tournaments. And I don't travel to that many tournaments around the country. I have to be picky. You see I'm not a millionaire like you have painted me to be.
You would actually expect me to fly to South Dakota to play you a few games of pool. Come on GINGERBREAD MAN. Where is the fun in that?
Gingerbread Man may have to wait until DCC 2009 to do his song and dance against JoeyA.
FTR, I thought we had a "concrete" match set for DCC 2008.
I just got back from another pool tournament last weekend and so you can see I enjoy playing in pool tournaments. I think you are going to have to meet me at one of the pool tournaments if you are willing to slow those fast legs down.
I'm not scared. I would love to play you whether I win or lose.
There is a pool tournament with LOTS of good talent happening in a few weeks down at Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I hadn't planned on going but it is a great tournament and you could even bring Fatboy for the weekend fun. Maybe you and Fatboy can even take a shot at Josh Hillard. I am pretty sure he is from that area of the country. Although it is probably 5 hours drive for me, I would be willing to play you there.
Are you willing to play me there? If so, let me know in advance and I will see if there are any more get out of jail cards available for me.
I will get the exact TIME AND THE LOCATION for you if you are interested.
I've ribbed you a little and you've ribbed me a little. I'm not bored. I'm not mad. I would love to play you some pool, probably not in South Dakota, probably at a pool tournament.
If you are mad at my ribbing, say so and I will cut you some slack. Your teasing me hasn't bothered me in the least and I hope that we will remain friends after this match regardless of who wins. BTW, I missed seeing any smiley faces in your last post to me.

I think this bit of ribbing is good for the forum and good advertisement for our upcoming match.
If you are taking this ribbing too seriously and need some slack I will be happy to let up on you, just let me know. You may PM me or answer on the forum. You also have my cell phone number.
JoeyA (I'm serious)
