Hi.This might be a silly thread, but here goes...
While reading a thread, i got inspired to laugh at some funny antics/ things that go on in a Pool match! (particularly in tourneys, as there will be more spectators)

We all love to watch a serious match with great play/players..but occasionally with the jokes from commentators, or players like Strickland spicing it up, it makes a lot more interesting & funny viewing!

Strickland would probably lead the list with his:
-gloves in both hands
-shades
-finger extensions
-jumping on table
-flowers to ref
-arguments with crowd
and probably hundreds more!

Other examples would be:
-the glaring,wild colourful clothes Steve Knight used to wear
-Steve Davis pacing back & forth between every rack(thats a weird sight to me!)
-Efren with the regular nose digging (while sitting)
-Efren Scratching his head in disbelief (while playing)
-Efren with his untidy hair (forever)
-Daulton & his wild breaks
-Alain Martell & his wild breaks (dancing bear)
-Petroni & his uncontrolled giggles
-Ref racking 9ball as corner/wing ball
-Ref dropping balls on table
-Ref trying to peep through the spread legs of players! (to get a better view!?)

Any contributions to what would make a match more interesting? a pro player
-in WPC dressed like Mr.T?
-dressed in drag? clownsuit?
-singing while shooting?
-swearing at every miss?
-a female Ref in BIKINI!

p.s. i'm just really bored..been on leave a long time...

I agree. Accustats has at least two "blooper" tapes gleaned from pro events. Some of the clips are hilarious. If you haven't seen them, I highly recommend them.

During the 2003 Mosconi Cup in Vegas there was a singles match between Steve Davis and Johnny Archer. Whenever Davis was breaking Archer squatted down behind him (Out of his line of sight) and watched intently.

I find it hard to believe Archer wanted to get breaking technique tips from Davis (Ought to be the other way around!) so I have no idea what he was doing back there.
 
My fav was this 1hole match between Buddy Hall and Danny Medina.
First of all during the match, you get to see Danny doing
his frog-tongue thing hehe. The part that I love tho is
after the match when they ask Buddy Hall what he's afraid of the most.
Buddy says something like "I'm afraid of shooting for the other
guy's pocket...I've already done it a couple times during
this tournament" hehhe had me cracking up...gotta love
Buddy.

peace
