Noooooooo...........

After giving it much thought, I propose that we create a Wit Totum Pole. That way, we'll always have physical reference as to where our wit stands. The following is the proposed WTP. Please feel free to make any appropriate adjustments and remember, as Brian has so quicly informed us, SARCASM IS TO BE THE LOWEST FORM OF WIT. Now, it's been left in alphabetical order (with the exception of "sarcasm", of course). Do as you may!
Afterward, we can take this Totum Pole and put it exactly where it belongs just so that we may see exactly how far sarcasm gets us.
Aphorism
Badinage
Banter
Bon Mot
Burlesque
Drollery
Facetiousness
Fun
gag
jest
jocularity
joke
lark
levity
pleasantry
pun
quip
raillery
repartee
sally
satire
whimsicality
wisecrack
wordplay
Sarcasm

Yeah, my WTF rating recently went from dimwit to dimwit +. Crap, was that sarcasm? Quick... I need a joke;
A man walked into a bar... Ouch!
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel down his pants. Bartender asks, "Why do you have a steering wheel down your pants?" Pirate responds, "Arrrghhhh... it's driving me nuts!"
Thank you! I'll be here all night.

a good player can overcome all of these bad rolls. its all mental.
i am going to play some tonight. going to rack em, break, and see what happens. sorry, but as usual, i anticipate bad rolls, tough spreads, etc. then when i mess up my first chance or two at running out, i will start talking to myself about how the Laws Of Physics dont apply, how i am cursed, how it sux to be me, etc, etc.

You know DrCue,
I was thinking about you just last night as I was going through a strange up and down in my game. In practice, I was DRILLING balls in. I ran a three-pack and was just cruising. Then, I get into some small stakes action, stumble a little out of the gate and find myself struggling for the duration of the set. The next set, I came out firing and ended up breaking even.
Afterward, I thought about what was different in my mental approach. The biggest difference was my perception of what WOULD happen. See, when I was shooting well, I felt NOTHING bad good happen. I never thought about the lone ball that could snooker me or what the leave would be like if I missed. I just thought about executing. When I wasn't shooting well, all the doubts would creep up in my head right before I pulled the trigger and I KNOW it affected how I struck the cue-ball.
In the end, you have to convince yourself that this is the best decision available TO YOU and that you're willing to accept the result, no matter how good/bad it may end up being. If you walk in with constant negative feelings, you'll never learn to avoid negative results. Only with a positive outlook on the game do you allow your body to do as it's told.
