JB vs Lou - Let's Get It On

[lfigueroa]

Lou's ego couldn't handle losing to anyone... he might end up in a mental hospital if you happened to get lucky and beat him.

if Lou had beat you 9-0 the last time, and he was 1000% sure you were totally helpless, i think there would be a stronger possibility of a rematch.

I lose to people all the time.

One guy I played for a week straight losing $200 sets and kept coming back. You don't know me.

Lou Figueroa

100% true. There was a microphone right there sensitive enough to pick up just about anything said in the arena. Find anywhere where I wasn't polite when Lou was shooting.

You're damn right I am a piece of work, the huge hearted one-of-kind work of art kind, not the hustling piece of shit kind of group I faced. And if my wife is brought into this one more time I may planning a trip to St. Louis.

BS.

Miller was there ring side. And the microphone in the arena was not that sensitive.

Almost immediately John sells out a shot on the end rail and I have simple position to play to the left side of the stack and two "dead as Kelsey’s nuts" combos in the stack. I decide to play a carom that will send both towards my pocket. They both drop and I run a total of five before missing trying to play position for the runout. During this time two things are happening that you can't hear on the stream. The first is that the entire time I am running those first five balls, each shot I shoot, John is loudly muttering, “It’s over. It’s over. It’s over.” The second thing you can’t hear is, when I miss the sixth ball in the run, a two-word expletive of the worst kind loudly escapes my lips — it just popped out :-o

What is John Barton to do ? Lou Figueroa has taken his soul and he don't know how to get it back. I heard he hide in Teachers Billiards .

I own him.

Lou Figueroa

 

[JB Cases]

I own him.

Lou Figueroa

No but you own someone else for sure.

Right......talking to someone is instigating a fight? Get real. Nothing I said was any grounds for the threat of assault.

I watched the whole thing unfold.

You would not leave Eric alone. You were completely and totally the instigator and deserved to get punched out WHICH I believe you were hoping for so you'd have an excuse to not play the match. It wasn't until both of you picked up pool balls in your fists that I think a dim bulb lit up in your head that you weren't going to just get punched out but that you were going to require major reconstructive surgery and you stopped. It also helped that Mitch intervened.

About an hour before the match, there is a kerfuffle in the main room across from where I’m standing with Dustin and Mike. John starts woofing at Eric. I want to clarify: Eric was not part of my crew. I know Eric going back to the days of RSB and when I saw him at Sandcastle I went up to greet him. That’s it.

“Come on Eric, let’s play a quick race to five for a thousand,” John woofs. Eric basically tells John to go fornicate himself. But John persists. He will not stop goading Eric and soon Eric has had enough and he and John are literally nose-to-nose, pool balls clutched in fists. I’m watching all this from the other side of the pool room and thinking, “There will be no match and oh, BTW, John is going to require some serious dental work tomorrow.” Fortunately, AZer, Mitch, is nearby and he steps in and reminds both parties that many folks want to see the match come off and they should back off and not jeopardize the game. They separate.

Looks like you have a guardian angel Lou. Doesn't matter, my posts can be erased but the truth can't.

No idea what you're talking about.

[JB Cases]

Isn't it you who's always saying words hurt more than physical actions? Well...

I said that they can be hurtful. Still not one thing I said was grounds for threatened assault.

And here's the problem with your "I'm a big hearted guy who's standing up to bullies" vomit-fest.

Do you ever spend even a little time thinking about YOUR part in all this? You may think you're a blameless victim but you'll have a very hard time convincing a jury imo.

Of course, we both dance. My point is when a mod selectively edits to favor on side then it is wrong.

Huh?

I have no idea who you are or what you are referring to. As for what you will bet I don't care and have never said you don't have any gamble.

Lots of people have gamble. I have bet everything I have a 1000 times in my life. If I was a drug dealer or a millionaire with lots of extra cash then I'd probably be betting high every day. One thing I know FOR SURE, I have more heart than Lou Figueroa has EVER had.

I walk into a strange pool room and I am looking for action and not asking for weight and when he walks in he is looking for the exit.

You don't have more heart. You are just far stupider than I could ever possibly be.

Lou Figueroa

 

[JB Cases]

Yep and that's why you can't live with it ,,

Oh I can live with it. Just amused by the mutual ego stroking club.

You're lying. I said it's over one time.

Only Eric had a pool ball. He came to me.

Yes I challenged him to play, yes I talked to him. Nothing I said or did was cause for him to threaten me.

And if my wife is brought into this one more time I may planning a trip to St. Louis.

Your wife was part of the mix as was mine. And funny how you have no problem bringing up your wife when it suits your purposes, lol.

Remember this and how you welched on it along with your other side bets?

[billiardthought]

JB, how was the Maldives?

 

[NYC cue dude]

No sweat. I'll explain. My good friend Brian (Kickin' Chicken) started this thread in order to somehow work out a rematch. I was trying to assist Brian in doing so. The parties were not getting anywhere on their own, so I thought I would give it a try as a go-between. I didn't do very well, did I? LOL.

It's become apparent to all of us that John and Lou don't get along well enough to communicate. I just thought I would try to find some common ground since we all go back a way. I guess I like impossible challenges. Once they started communicating with each other, it was c'est fini.

Why do you feel compelled to explain yourself to a member who has only just joined in 2011? And I only bring that up because if he doesn't understand, by that virtue alone, it makes him a noob. So instead of taking a seat in the corner and observing, he decides he needs to confront you?!?!? Lol.

 

[MiscueBlues]

I am done. Offer is off Lou. When the moderator starts editing in your favor I am done. I sincerely hope you live a long life.

But Johnny, Louie, please! Don't stop. This makes for great light reading material on the John.

All this trash talking, was it just to get attention??
This f*ing bums me out! Why not just play and let the playing do to the talking?
This stuff is just childish.
You make great cases John, why not just be content with the respect and praise you get in that area?

 

[Kickin' Chicken]

just fired up the old computer and it looks like we're getting ever closer to that rematch. :thumbup:

oops, forgot my morning pills; back in a while.

best,
