What's the most innapropriate time you felt the need to go out and shoot some stick?

While I have no regrets about it, I remember going to the local pool hall the night I graduated high school. I was still in my robe and hat. I wasn't even on time to play in the Wednesday night tournament. And it's never even a big tournament. Usually about 10 guys if that. I just wanted to be a railbird for the evening and discuss my post high school plans with the local yocals.
 
Back when

at 2 in the morning on a Sunday night with having to be at
work at 8 in the morning.

If you graduated high school it is clear you ain't no real Pool Player ;-)
 
Christmas day 1992. In Germany, my wife, best friend and I decided we were bored and found an open pool hall. Christmas supper was a bagette....yes, we're still married.

New Years Eve about 3 years ago, me and some buddies were hanging out and headed over to a poolhall around midnight. We didn't even pay attention to the time, just played.
 
Not a good time.

After being up your 3rd consecutive day has never worked real well for me.
 
Jersey boy?

Where you at in NJ. I was GSP 135. 25 years removed though.
Cool shirts do you do the art work?
 
True story

My father had a match scheduled the night I was born - he played the match instead of waiting in the delivery room. At the time I was born, my dad was partly supporting the family shooting pool, he need the money to pay the doctor. Fortunatly he won, otherwise I supose I would have been sent back!


BTW, my parents are still married and my father was and still is a great dad.

Don't worry, that is exactly where I was immediately after I graduated from high school too. I didn't go as far as wearing my cap and gown in though.

The most inappropriate time to play pool is on November 11 between 11:00 AM and 11:02 AM. On the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I, it is considered appropriate to observe two minutes of silence in honor and memory of all those who have given their lives in war.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I've never been to war, nor have any of my relatives, thoug I'm told my grandfather, who died before my birth, fought in World War I.

My respect for and gratitude for all those who have served so bravely is without bound, and every November 11, I make sure to observe the two minutes of silence to honor them.

I know that all the freedoms I enjoy are the fruits of their labor and their sacrifices.

My first son was born in 1974. I was an extremely restless person back then. As soon as he was born and I found out both wife and son were fine, I went to the pool hall to unwind........
 
Great stories. Some of them actually reminded me of a few more semi-unnapropriate times I played. I can recall, when I was in college, playing at a local tournament on Thursday, September 13. Two days after the attack. The place was actually pretty crowded with regulars. Seemed to be a good escape from what was going on, on the television. And a good way to get back some sense of normalcy. I can also recall being at the local bar and playing in the Wednesday night APA league while George Dubbya was on TV telling the country about how we were going to go to war with Iraq because their weapons of mass destruction posed an imminent threat.
 
About 5 minutes after I was married (the first time). hmmm..maybe that's why she left me?

Right after my senior prom about 9 years ago. The GF (now wife) and I went since it was the only thing that was open. This was before I was a regular there :D
 
I had a friend who was with me the night that his daughter was born. I asked him if he wasn't going to the hospital, and he told me that there was really nothing he could do to help anyway, so.....We played races to 7 all night until we got the phone call that everything was all right. Then I drove him to the hospital. By the way, his wife was perfectly fine with the way that this happened. She told me later that he was a nervous wreck and would have been hard for her to deal with. She actually thanked me for being with him and keeping him calmed down. I think that my girlfriend would have left me for this.....
