Song deleted out of respect to Danny Harriman, who I NOW think is a class act and a good sport.
Others, please delete the tune.

Varner and another player did this move way before Danny did. Why did you single Danny out?
As I enjoy your past post's and I like you, I think that this is mean, derogatory and not at all funny.
Danny should not be singled out for this, nor should he have a derogatory name attached to him such as this.
I wish you would just pull this thread, it's not funny! Atleast to me it's not.

Blackjack said:It is unfair to keep spotlighting this incident INSTEAD of spotlighting the fantastic week that Danny had at this event. Threads like this cheapen Danny's accomplishments thus far with the IPT.

Now wasn't this originally written by the Travelling Billiardbees?recoveryjones said:...SONG.
For those of you that don't know at the recent IPT event a bizzare happening occured between Archer and Harriman during their group match.
Harriman removed his shoes and jumped up on the table and made a shot WITH NO FEET ON THE FLOOR. Archer had thought he had been cheated, but because the IPT neglected to have it in their rules, the shot was deemed legal.Archer referred to Danny as being a Monkey.
To get to the full story check out this IPT link:

Anyways I've penned out a song to commemorate(humour) this contoversial/bizzare event.I've wrote it to the song by "The Traveling Willburys(with Bob Dylan) called, "Tweeter and the Monkey Man". Feel free to download that song and sing along to these lyrics:
A CHEATER NAMED THE MONKEY MAN
A cheater named the Monkey man was hard up for cash
Jumped up on that table, gave the cue ball a slash
He made the eight drop, that was Mister his plan
For reasons so- explained, Scorp hates the Monkey man
Cheater made Johnny pout, with a sneaky scam
A loophole in the rules, he didn’t give a damn
He knew at the IPT, there’s money’s on the line
So he popped off his shoes and Archer started cryin’
(chorus)
And the balls fell down….. made the eight as well
On the floor he wasn’t standing
And ah Archer screamed like hell
The IPT cop, sided with the monkey man
Johnny riled good, wanted to see him in the can
Dan that was a bad scene, you make me feel so ill
Why ya cheat me monkey man, ah beat me with your skill
Ah ready to explode, cheated by the deal
Was bashed in a paradise, you could hear Johnny squeal
The monkey man pulled out his hand, shake it I desire
Archer said you jerk, just go and pull your wire
(chorus)
And the balls fell down….. made the eight as well
On the floor he wasn’t standing
And ah Archer screamed like hell
A thread was posted up, opinions left behind
Cheater stole the match away and messed up his mind
Some side with the monkey, choices are a free
That’s why I like a posting, here ah Aye-Zee
Next day Danny boy was ah, hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal
He didn’t care about the loot.
Hustlers told him many times it was you to me who taught
In pool anything’s legal as long as you don’t get caught
(chorus)
And the balls fell down….. made the eight as well
On the floor he wasn’t standing
And ah Archer screamed like hell
Someplace in the tourney, he ran out of gas
That’s karma kicking in boy, ha-you didn’t think that this could last
Dan bumped out now dead, said there’s someplace I gotta go
He took the money from his drawer, said its best if you don’t know
The Scorpion was clowned… face down in the field
The monkey man filled his fridge, using money he had a wheeled
John said to the Strickland man, I’m not fooled by cheaters Earl
I knew him long before, he ever became a shoeless girl
(chorus)
And the balls fell down….. made the eight as well
On the floor he wasn’t standing
And ah Archer screamed like hell
Now the town of Reno city, is quieting down again
I’m sitting in a gambling club, called the Ho’s den
The video has slown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the frightly blues show, that the monkey man was on
I guess I’ll go play pool and get myself some fun
There’s lots of opportunity there, seen what can be done
Sometimes I think of Johnny, sometimes I am a fan
Sometimes I don’t think about nothing but the Monkey man
And the balls fell down….. made the eight as well
On the floor he wasn’t standing
And ah Archer screamed like hell
And the balls fell down….. made the eight as well
On the floor he wasn’t standing
And ah Archer screamed like hell

suckershot said:Exactly. It seems that the only reason Danny got singled out is because Archer made a big stink about it. Archer should've shaken his hand at least.
On another note, what I find very interesting is that in the IPT story, it says:
"Afterward Archer remarked to Gabe Owen, “I didn’t even shake his hand. He said, ‘You’re disrespecting me,’ and I said, ‘Hey, we’re in suits and ties here, and you’re jumping on the table like a monkey … you’re disrespecting me.”
Standing nearby, Owen stated, “That’s awful. A loophole like that is bad.”"
How strange, then, is it to see Gabe Owen doing this:

I got nothing against Gabe Owen, but this seems a little hypocritical.
