I was at Bananas yesterday looking for my little buddy DEADWAC. The FLEA was there and of course he jumped on me. We played for six hours and I quit two games up. I am almost seventy and the flea is about thirty going on ten. The FLEA is a good player and beats me most of the time. As usual when I quit ,THE FEA and THE EYE******* on the rail came out with the same old BULL****. The FLEA even asked me to pay his table time. Every time he beats me he hides till I check out. I will save all my ACTION for the IRONMAN and DEADWAC. If any of you visit BANANAS beware of THE NITS.

- Thread starter THE PICK
- Start date
Also, NEWKIRK, if you read this, you are the only one I know of other than a GIRL that THE FLEA has played that comes from outside the city limits. As one of the top one pocket players in San Antonio, hes MISSING IN ACTION after he calls everyday to find out is anyone new at BANANES.
THE PICK said:
That is not the first time I read on AZB about that kind of scenarios.your post prompted me to post a general message.
what STOPS you or anybody here in having discussions before the start of every match up regards issues like who pays the time and when can one quit? I do that all the time and I tell my opponent-I will play two sets only,you pay your time and I pay my time,you buy your beverage, I buy my beverage .on some occasions I even tell my opponent that this is my chalk and u need to go get your chalk.After the game I always left the table in friendly terms and I had no complaints.
THE PICK said:
I think I know who you are speaking of here. The nickname "FLEA" is in reference to "HAVING THE HEART OF A FLEA", correct?
The FLEA wouldn't also be known as LAMB KILLER, would he? I believe ironman affectionately coined this name for him a couple of years ago.
About a year ago, the FLEA heard that Marco Marquez, out of Chicago, was nicknamed "The Snake".
Well, the FLEA really, really liked that nickname and thought we should start calling him "SNAKE". I suggested, since the nickname was already taken by another Hispanic gentleman, that the FLEA's new nickname should have a spanish ring to it.
I suggested "ZIRILLO" which means "SKUNK" in spanish. LOL
Everytime I've seen him since, I always call him by this name. To say the least, he is not amused.
FLEA, LAMBKILLER OR ZIRILLO, what's the difference? So much talent and so little heart. What can you say?

First he used to live in California but not anymore. As far as his nickname well I won't go into that. He has a good heart and means well, and he plays all games great. If he had his head straight he would be one of the best in the country.Mike the Bike said:
As far having an agreement on the table time let me ask you this. The flea has beat me thirty-two times. When its time to pay the table time he seems to get lost. I win two games in six hours and he tells me he should have quit when he was three games up. Now he wants me to pay the table time. Thats the name of this subject" NITS AT BANANAS BILLIARDS".

That is fine and Dandy. Whatever people agree on is just fine and the way it should be.
This guy and his attitude towards people have have hustled him almost out of business. People can be as stingy and as cowardly as they want, but, in the long run, it ususally costs them.
A Nit is A Nit. I played this guy here at Bananas for the last Ten Years. He spotted me 8 to 7. Beat on me and beat on me. One day I won a game and from then on we had to play even. No one else will play him because it takes an hour for him to shoot. Being the sucker I am I started playing him even. He beat on me and beat on me. One day I was up one game and he called a fowl on me during a shot. I didn't think I did. I have been known to fowl alot when I am close to the balls due to my age and eyesight. The Ironman was on the rail and said why don't we flip a coin if it was a fowl or not. He said okay because he only needed one ball and I needed six. Somehow I won the game and he only paid me half the bet. Now he will not play me again. How luckey can I get.
THE PICK said:
This guy he speaks of plays so slow, it is like watching paint dry. He accused the PICK one day of stalling him. LMAO!!!
FWIW> The PICK better forget the PICK or we have parted ways. I'll never give up the pick again as long as I live even if it means I quit playing.
I got up and went to Bananas to play the Flea. He begged me for action all week for saturday. When I arrived I saw Silver was there. Of course the Flea was sick and could not come. He is known to come down with something when someone that can draw their ball over a foot comes to town. I played the Hammer who robbed me two days ago and won three games in a row and he hit the rack. I played Nate the Great 8-7 and even. He is stealing at that game but I beat him three games in a row and to the rack he went. Telling me the spot is over. Its not easy being easy. I guess I will have to get The Ironman to play the GHOST.
