RA siddles up to Slim and opens up his "pre-bite" conversation. Slim say's
" I know where this is headed, let me save you the trouble, I'm tapped out"
Ronnie gives him a pained, insulted look and says "You think the only time I come to you is when I need money"? Slim, a man of few words simply said....."Yep". RA wanders off to seek greener pastures, and Slim leans over to me and says, " If that kid ever pays me back what he owes me, I would be able to retire...the NATIONAL DEBT"! Whereupon he walked over to Ronnie and slipped him a C-note.

the420trooper said:What about the story of the game between Ronnie Allen and Cornbread Red?
They played two nights in a row, the first night, Ronnie's backers slipped Red the proverbial Mickey.
Cornbread lost a lot of money, but came back the next night ready for revenge. Whatever was slipped into Ronnie's drink that night caused him to black out and fall to the ground, seizing and foaming at the mouth.
Cornbread walked over to Ronnie, kicked him in the ribs and said in his Southern drawl, "Yo shot, Mother@$^%er." Priceless.![]()
muttley76 said:I once watched two guys playing some one-hole, when one was jacked up over the stack, and touched one of the balls. His opponent said "foul", and an argument ensued over whether they were playing all ball fouls or cue ball fouls only. After 5 heated minutes, the guy who called the foul said "you know the @$#$^ rules, you owe a ball!". The shooter says"I owe a ball, huh?", and proceeds to put his cue on the table, raking every ball to his hole, and says, "fine, I owe two."
JAM said:Hey, Mully, as an aside, I don't know why I always sign all of my posts with JAM, since we have avatars on the left with our names. I noticed that you do too. Maybe it is just a forum posting habit, but I'm thinking about not doing it anymore.![]()

wincardona said:I didn't witness this but heard it many times. It was late 60's or early 70's
that this incident occured. UJ Puckett was playing straight pool at the Stardust Hotel, in a straight pool match where the Jockey ( Norman Howard )was refereeing.I don't recall who UJ was playing but he just had run like 90 balls against him and was a few balls short of winning,he finally missed and Puckett stepped to the table to begin his inning.For those of us that know Puckett can appreciate this ending more than others,but nevertheless it was ludicrous. Puckett really didn't like straight pool,and he certainly didn't like some New Yorker keeping him in his chair for eternity (he felt) defenseless. So when he finally had an opportunity to shoot,you could see volcanic ash running from his nose.He began stroking the ball when the Jockey hollered FOUL. Puckett's shirt cuff lightly touched an object ball.Puckett refused to acknowledge the called foul and continued to stroke the ball. The Jockey then said that's a foul Puckett, UJ got up from the shot and looked the Jockey in the eye's and said,son that's no foul, THIS IS A FOUL, and raked about 11 balls ,all against the side rail.
he played 9 ball and one pocket, very soft touch for a big big guy. great break playing nine ball ,was the texas state champ several times . he played 8 to 7 below the best one pocket players, maybe the best hustler ever .60 minutes did a interesting piece on him.SpiderWebComm said:I've seen UJ Puckett play on those old ESPN classic matches - obviously far past his prime. What kind of player was he? 14.1 / 9ball / 1P? Who can you compare his game to more recently (to give me a better idea)?
Thanks-
