I like her blog, as always, and I really like this little paragraph from her latest blog.

So, on behalf of those who have eaten ramen noodles for six months to save expense money for an out-of-state tournament, those who have ever come from being down hill-to-zero to win--or even lose, hill-hill--those who have fired all barrels in the name of pride or action, those who have practiced every hour they could, those who have crammed ten people in a hotel room to make a tournament affordable, those who have gotten out of a warm bed on a stormy day to get to a pool hall because they HAVE to hit balls, those who love and live for competition, and those of us not born with a gold tip-tapper shoved up our asses, I ask you, Hedgehog, most courteously in front of the real players of the world:



"Excuse me, sir, but would you like to gamble?"

Enjoy!

Omg ,,,

That is so funny!!! Hedgehog will NEVER live this down among the boys!

Saying he could give the 8, winning the tournament, and then backing down when he got woofed back at .... LMAO .... what a doofus! :rolleyes:
 
Fascinating ... I never knew that a Valley sneaky-pete with the four cracks in the butt-cap was a custom cue that could be bought with second place winnings ... apparently now I do.

Dave, doesn't eat ramen noodles ... way too much salt
 
OMGWTF should write a book. Really has a way with words and thoughts that are uniquely hiliarious! :p
 
I guess I'll have to come out of retirement and give her the 8 to find out who she is.:D Johnnyt

I didn't get the "last two" part. Isn't that the same as getting the 8?

Not quite. Getting the last two means the last two balls on the table are your money whether it's the 8, 7, 6, etc. Basically you don't have an extra ball to combo in for an early win.

Ah. That's why getting the 8 was better than the last 2. Cause you can combo the 8 early on (or make it on the break). I get it. I thought the last two automatically means 8 & 9. Thanks.

Okay, call me Brain Dead, but I thought the "last two" was the last two balls before the 9.

As you can see, I'm not a gambler.

I can't be 100% sure I'm right, but that's how we play down here and I think the last 2 before the 9 would be more weight than getting the 8.
 
I have also encouraged her to write a book and gave her the link for Cafepress so she could self-publish.

And she gave me a really cute pink baseball jersey that I will wear with pride (it gives me immunity from her barbs) in Vegas. Note, these shirts run small! LOL.

Wrong. I thought so too at first. She is cute, Asian and shares the same acerbic wit. But no one is giving her away or she will turn her sights onto you! :eek:

If she had collared shirts, we could wear them during the tournaments.

Fred <~~~ bring on the barbs
