I just thought I would share story from this weekend that gave one interesting angle on strippers vs. pool. I was in a strip club last Friday night. The girl I normally visit was out sick so I was being entertained by another gal I did not know so well. We chatted a bit and she asks what I did for fun. I replied I play a little pool. She responded that she liked pool and went to a pool hall in Wasilla (small town outside Anchorage). I have known the houseman there for 20 years (longer that she has been alive), so I said do you know “Dave”? She said yes she knew him and he helped her with her game from time to time. “Dave” is a multiple time state champ in many games, a very solid player and always, always, always on the hustle. Every time I see him he try’s to get in my pocket, sometimes he does. One thing led to another and I was out much later than expected.

I was signed up in the annual Fur Rondy 8 ball tourney that started at 10:00 the next morning. I woke up late and hustled to the pool room. As I walked in the door the tournament director said on the PA “Bill Johnston just forfeited game 2”. Whew! I was 10 minutes late and it costs me 1 game every five minutes, a really good rule by the way. I went out to my table and to my surprise my opponent was “Dave” the houseman from Wasilla! Now since I was stuck 2-0 in a race to 5 I had to do something special. On my turn I said “Dave I met a buddy of yours last night …you old dog!...DAVE!” his eyes got big when he realized who I was talking about. He was trying to ignore me but I could tell I was in his head so I kept acting like I knew something to see if he would start to feel guilty, busted or something but he continued to do his best to ignore me. I said “Dave you are getting serious in your old age” and he said “Always have been Bill” ( I’m still not sure if he meant he’s always been serious or always been old, but anyway). Suddenly I find myself in the match even with the 2 game spot. I realize I need to go for broke and bring out the big guns. On my turn I step to the table and said “Dave you know something I just realized…that friend of yours last night got more out of me in 2 hours than you have in 20 years! Well that hit him where he lives, “Dave” went on to win the match, but with a broken heart, all the skills he has worked so hard for decades to hone were trumped by mother nature and a young tail. We got lots of laughs out of that situation for the rest of the day. Good clean fun. :p :p :p

This has to be the dumbest, most meaningless story I have ever heard or took the time to read.

Larry, now you need to add a few stories about your days living in Baltimore when you hung out at the pool room where your dad worked and saw some of the GREATS play. BTW, change the floating header to be "DELAWARE LAR'S" instead of "DELAWARE'S LAR'S."

We saw Tom-Tom up at Orange Ball this past Wednesday. He's getting in stroke preparing for the U.S. Open One-Pocket tournament in Las Vegas.

Here's a pic of a friendly poker game at my house with our local pool brethren. From left to right, Baby Huey, Delaware Lar, Parks, Sweet Jenn, Tom-Tom, and Earthquake! :cool:

Here's my second try at a web page. Not as dumb as the first.

Hey Larry!

It's Andy Lincoln. I just saw your web page and busted out laughing. I remember you beating Danny Green 6 years ago and saying you were going to put it on a T-shirt.

I remember that event really well because I beat you right after you beat Danny. Then I played Jerry Slivka for the first time in the final and I played flawlessly (well...1 miss) to win 7-1 in about 4 or 5 turns at the table. He said the nicest thing afterwards as well. He asked to play me some and offered me the 8. I said, "No, thanks. I know how well you play and I couldn't keep up this kind of concentration for more than a half hour." He said, "Ok...that was really good shooting" and walked away. That was definitely one of my Top 5 matches ever even to this day.

Andy
 
My First attempt at a Web Page

Hey Nit: Awsome web page. I can see you spent a lot of time on it. I'm even more impressed with you business, "Teacher's". I might want to come to St. Louis just to compete in the $1000 Karaoke Contest.

Hey Andy: I'm glad you found web page to be good for a laugh. :) I wore out that T-shirt but I still have the template to make another one. My web page keeps changing. I keep thinking of more stuff to add.
