One pocket and league...

Skippy and I were playing one pocket yesterday and the day before at our local pool hall. I mentioned to him how many people would ask what kind of game we were playing. Well sure enough on the day before we were on the first table as soon as you walk in the place and right away people were watching and commenting. There were about 10 people who asked us what we were doin or what kind of break stradegy were we trying or that the 8 ball was in the wrong spot before breaking. I could see how this might be confusing for people who aren't around pool much. Well yesterday was league night for the "Local Pros"(Sarcasm). Skippy and I again played one pocket close to where the league players would play. Again we were getting funny looks from these guys. So one of them came up to me and ask what game we were playing. He had never heard of the game and wanted an explanation of how it was played. As soon as I told him he went back to his table and they all gathered around in a huddle to hear what info I had given him on this game. Apparently, they had never heard of it either. Do these league players think that 8 ball and 9 ball were the only games created in billiards? The guy was so confused on the whole thing. Funny to me and Skippy. Thought I'd share it with you. I'm not trying to bad mouth any league players. But you know as well as I do, on the table, some of them think their s**t don't stink...
