An interesting piece of info I found this morning...



QUOTE: Eight-Ball was Invented shortly after 1900; Straight Pool followed in 1910. Nine-Ball seems to have developed around 1920. One-Pocket has ancestors that are older than any of these; the idea of the game was described in 1775 and complete rules for a British form appeared in 1869. UNQUOTE

The game of “corners” is a predecessor of one pocket. About a dozen corners tables in USA....Ft Collins I think (Colorado for certain) ? and Joplin are their locations

You misread the title, it's:

Waning One Pocket.

By George Fellover and can't get up.

Btw, they're doing an over/under for the 1-P tourney coming up.

Not for the number of balls pocketed, but for the number of hours played.

Not being a 1P player, I'm not sure why these jokes just jumped into my mind yesterday. But here they are... Please add any of yours.

One Pocket is so slow....

...One time, I air-barreled $500 on a 1P game...

...I lost but could cover the bet because by then my Social Security had kicked-in!

One pocket is so slow even for 1P Players sometimes, I play 1P sometimes and I can't stand watching a whole match of 1pocket believe it or not.

Besides some people are very slow when they play one pocket, I got a friend who takes forever to make shots in one pocket that sometimes he makes me want to quit, and I did a couple of times.

So, some of us were sitting around the pool hall talking about HAMB (Hit A Million Balls) and who has done it, etc. etc. I asked the guy on the 1P table if he'd shot his millions shots yet. He said, "Well, this game's not over, yet."

Hmm....:idea2::idea2:....so I tell him...
“Let’s play some one pocket....but we gotta jack it....heh, heh.”

Wow, one pocket is so slow, after roughly 121,000views on this thread, we still cannot agree upon the right shot to the opening break...

So, inspired by Efren's magic, I hit my ball into my pocket really hard and fast so it would come 4 rails around into position....and I nailed it!!! Yeah, baby!

Then someone tapped my on the shoulder, I turn around and there's a cop. He hands me a speeding ticket.

We need one that’s not as impatient as a sloth

Hey, your sloth was a player...my sloth is a mascot...he hasn’t hit the end rail....yet.

So when it comes to the plagiarizing accusations, just slow down....
...oh shit, did I mention slow?....:thud:
