One of these days I'll get there. (Hagerstown)

No I don't... refresh my memory?


A Planet Pool Shirt "with a cigarette pocket". Now that was just the warm-up question. Now for the real question. Of course this one I won't answer till I see you this Saturday.

What will you be able to tell about me while I'm wearing it? Other than I play at the game of Pool and that I smoke cigarettes.

PS - This is something that could be figured out from what you already know. No Patches added or anthing.

Don't dwell on this to much, I've ask people this while wearing the shirt right in front of them and they couldn't figure it out. Would take a real out of the box thinker to invent this. Going to have to think using the right side of your brain to figure this out.


PS Hint included.

I've determined that this is to difficult a question. So rather than me explaining it on Saturday and having you all look at me like 'how was I suppose to figure that out', I'll tell you now.

A while back I was at one of the PP 8-ball events and bought a PP shirt (nice shirts). Then I emailed Nick and said that most pool players are smokers so he should have shirts with a cigarette pocket. In the mean time I'm putting a pocket on mine.

What would you know from looking at it? Well, first you would have to figure out what I could have done different when sewing on the pocket. I put the pocket on the opposite side of what a pocket is normally put on.

Now that you know that, what could that tell you about me. If you are a smoker AND if you are pool player you could know right away. But only if your left handed.

That is what you could tell is that I'm left handed. That would be the only reason to put it on the other side. You see if the pocket is on the normal side and your left handed, when you jack up the cue stick, your cigarette pack gets in the way. If I'm wearing a shirt with the pocket on the standard side and I come across a shot that I need to jack up the cue stick, I always have to go back to my table and take my cigarettes out of my pocket. Not with this shirt.

Guess this all sounds a little stupid, but true. When I first thought to put it on the other side I was pleased that I had thought about it. So I thought I'd have a little fun with it here. Then I thought.. 'geezzz, unless they are a left handed, pool playing, smoker, there is no way anyone is going to figure this out'. Hope it didn't bug anyone to much.

The best guess I had was beer belly! :p
 
Y'all are crazy. Capt. I figured it out once you said the right side of the brain. I guess that's why I'm behind the table (I think too much to play well).

This weekend should be exciting - it already sounds like a ton of players will be there. Make sure you introduce yourselves with your screen names too!

I met Beetle this past weekend, I know Landshark & Cuequeen. Capt has been there too - but a few of you I don't know.

Timberly - I was with Nick at the Inside Pool Party - and I am pretty sure I was the only sober one there - I remember what you look like even if Nick doesn't.
I'm excited - this weekend is going to be lots of fun!

That's pretty interesting. Thank God the only smoking I do these days is your and Ceci's second-hand smoke... ;) Otherwise I'd have to get you to make me one of those shirts also....

LMAO, I wish I could say the same!!! I'm sure you'll look familiar to me when I see you.... it's always funny walking around VF the next day... you see people that you saw at the party and you have no idea who they are but you remember seeing them and you both look at each other, nod your heads, smile that "knowing" smile, and keep on going. Nick isn't going to be able to "cheat" like I bet he thought he was. Nick knows the friend that I'm bringing and I know he thought he would figure it out that way... I just found out that I have to work Sat morning so I'll be entering alone.... :D

Looking forward to meeting you (while sober). I'm expecting to have a good time!

If Nick was smart he would just find that VF thread and study your pic before the big test. :D :p

Damn LS, you just knocked my action! LOL, I was hoping he wouldn't remember that. The only thing I have going for me there is that I've put on a few pounds so my face is fatter... maybe he won't recognize me... :rolleyes:
 
Hey Now!!!!

You guys keep it up and I just might have to make an appearance. It's only about 1 hour from my home. You might not recognize me, I haven't had a drink in a week and a half. OUCH!!!! That last one must have been a hum dinger. You bet cha.
Purdman :D

Hope to see you there, Don! :) You can join me and I'll buy you a sparkling soda water with lime, or maybe a triple-shot cappie at Starbucks, if they've got one in Hagerstown!

C'mon on down Purdman, the more the merrier! We gotta fix that "haven't had a drink in a week and half" thing though. I'm counting on at least Nick and LS partaking in the drinking festivities, can always use more. Nothing close to what we had at the party in VF though. I would like to remember my weekend and the people that I meet this time around! :cool:

Sorry to disapoint JAM, you guys will have to settle for Sheetz coffee as there is no Starbucks in H-town. :( It ain't Fredrick you know, LMAO!

And Don, I say the more the merrier!

Oooops! :o And I swore I would never do that...just proves I can NOT be trusted. I doubt Nick will read this thread any further...it's not like it is action packed or interesting, LMAO!
 
Come on folks, you all should have some better come backs than that. I'll give LS77 about half a credit. At least she made the inference that I have a pot belly.

One of you all's replies should have went something like this for example....


CaptainJR, if you went to all that trouble to try to convince us that you not a nincompoop at the sewing machine and accidentally put the pocket on the wrong side. You went to a lot of trouble for nothing cause we're not falling for it. :p

Come on over Don. Would be great to finally meet you in person.
 
Gee, this is sounding more like a party than a pool tournament. And by the sound of it, we will have a star-studded cast of characters, players and supporters. Don, you should come check us out. You won't be disappointed.

Timberly, I don't think I'll have much trouble recognizing you. Yes, I did actually go back to that post to look at your picture. But I think I would have been okay without it. ;)

C'mon Saturday!
