Brings back a memory of driving stoned on the freeway. All white knuckle and sitting bolt upright to look at the speedometer that read 45.
Playing Under the Influence
- Thread starter Patrick Johnson
- Start date
Without a word he reached in his pocket and pulled out his stealth pipe with a sliding cover. He could hit it at the table and have it back in his pocket undetected except by close observation. So he hands it to me. So I imitated his stealth technique and turned my back to the bar and hit it. I wasn't scared.
In my extensive experience in jackassery, I have found nothing is as stealth as I thought it was.
For example, I can vividly remember wanting to wake and bake before school, but not wanting to smoke outside while waiting for the bus.
My solution was to wrap rubber bands around toilet paper tubes covered in dryer sheets. This would allow me to smoke in the basement, while hovering by th window.
Thought was a pretty “Stealth” maneuver until I heard my dad’s Elephant feet stomping towards me mere milliseconds after my first exhale.

Read me my rights, as if I didn’t know this
Threw me in the tank with a drunk called Otis.
With his five o’clock shadow,
He smelled of three day old beer.
My man looked at me and said; “why are you here?”

My best pool and my best golf happen on that almost mythical 'right amount' of weed. My worst happens on the wrong amount...but at least it's fun.
Oh wow Thank you. That's perfect for my morning fitness. Dance baby dance.
Got my blood flowing now.

Two cafe au laits or two espressos will do everything one needs.
Exactly!Practice under the influence can lead to some very mind blowing discovery. The drawback is I can't remember what it was the next day.
In my senior year of high school, my math teacher sent a message to me through her son (we ran track together):
"Never come to my class stoned again!"
I thought I was so stealth.

Party On.....Dude
One of the most, no actually the most difficult job to learn was driving cab in Reno in 1978.
They hired daily, with 120+ cabs on the street. A dozen at a time. The first week was in a trainer cab. If you made it a week (usually only 2 of the 12) You got a cab of your own to share with a day shift driver. From the 1956 Checker to a 76 Volare. I did it for a full summer, 3 months. Around a week in, I had a passenger that offered a toke, tips were called that as well. Anyway I accepted and well, in that pressure cooker environment .....stoned ain't good. The night before I started a driver was attacked from the back seat.
I made a couple of bad choices in the part of town to work and actually took the cab in early.....and Never Again.

When I was in my 20's it was gin for me. I was playing a lot and I must have had high tolerance because I was playing pretty well, not just pool but me and a friend were unbeatable at foosball. Wound up getting jumped and beat uncouncious by two guys, but a story for another time.
Now one glass of wine or beer with dinner before I play, two at the most, then water the rest of the night.
I also play my best in quiet surroundings, hard to do these days. When I play I'm not there to party, I'm there to play.

That’s how it happens,
Livin’ life by the drop.
No wasting time we’re alive today,
Churnin’ up the past there’s no easier way
Times come between us,
A means to an end
God it’s good to be walkin’ together my friend.

Let your soulshine
It’s better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn surebetter than rain…
…When your world seems cold
You gotta let your spirit take control
GUITAR!

As a mathematician I rehearsed every moment at the pool table, even under the influence I would know exactly what to do.
The part most average people can't get past is the fact that you can study the pool table just like a language.
I prefer to have a worked out routine or style of shots to show case. Practice can be more fun than competition if you know the different skills to showcase.
I am curious if most mathematician can detect the subtle touches in pool naturally.
I thought Austria would have the best pool players based on theory, but I guess the Austrian youth lack interest in geometry. There is so much math power in Austria its asymmetric.
Thorsten's German discipline held up well for proving their repetition techniques. German mathematicians are top of the list. Give Thorsten some math to promote. Filler is more of an entertainer, he shows no signs of math merit.
