I'm not sure how old you are, but the "nice rack" slogan has been around for a long time. I've seen it on vintage clocks and posters from yesteryear.
I have a bittersweet memory about the "nice rack" slogan. When I met Keith for the first time at a pool tournament in Maryland, he was hanging out with a New England straight pool champion named Larry Lisciotti. Larry was well known for being funny and cutting up, as was Keith. They were like two peas in a pod. :grin-square:
Larry and Keith were very close friends, and Larry passed away about 5 or 6 years ago.
The tournament ended and everybody went their own way back home. Keith remained in Maryland for a spell, and I was struck by Cupid's arrow when it came to Keith. The two of us joined forces and became a couple. :smiling-heart:
About 6 months later, Keith and I started going to pool tournaments on the East Coast, especially the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour. We traveled to Chelmsford, Massachusetts, to County Club Billiards to attend a huge Joss tournament. Everybody was there, from Jose Parica, Earl Strickland, Charlie Williams, Johnny Archer, Nick Varner, the Russian, to Larry Lisciotti.
This was the first time that Keith and I had seen Larry since the tournament in Maryland, Larry was feeling no pain, shall I say, and walked up to us. He looked at me and said, "Well, so you're still together," and then he said, "Nice rack," and walked away. It took me a couple seconds to realize that he was giving me a compliment.
As an aside, Larry and Keith both got in action in some long-rail banks with the Russian that tournament. It was beautiful!
So your saying you found the term "nice rack" kind of a term of endearment? I would think most women would find that very offensive or off color, but maybe its just the individual who is saying it that makes for the situation, be it if he is cute to the lady or famous or whatever...Im not sure since Im not a woman just curious.
