Pre-pub special, Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers

Keep talking Lou. The more you talk, the more orders I get! King is probably snickering up there in doggy heaven. You can bet your ass that he is running the show there. He has got all those bad-ass K-9 dogs that were killed in action in the wars as his personal bodyguards.

Beware that he doesnt send one of those down wraith form to infect your dreams and give you a DoggyMare.

I am going to take pity on everybody and post the only known pic of King the Wonder Dog. As you can see, he is in pretty fast company. At that time King was probably more famous than Ronnie. It is hard to tell in the photo, but King is wearing sun-glasses, like the celebrity that he was.

What we havent even talked about Jay, is that King not only could do everything we said he could, he could also stall, to drag in suckers and naysayers. He would screw up some bets in order to catch guys like Lou. He would act goofy and grab the wrong ball for the small bets. Only when Jerry would give him the "George" office would King come off the stall and take down the money.

King would put a plow on Clever Hans' ass and have him plow out Jerry's back yard.

And I thought King was a German Shepard! Wow! Thanks for the photo, Freddy.
Could have fooled me.
Many Regards,
Lock N Load.

"What the horse had been doing, proposed Pfungst, was to take ques either from his trainer or from other people in the room. Hans was able to spot very subtle movements such as a minute nod of the head and to detect the tension experienced by everyone in the room as he approached the correct answer.

Scientists since have discovered that horses (and dogs) can detect the heartbeat of someone standing nearby. As Clever Hans drew close to correct answer an increase in everyone's heartbeat indicated the place for him to stop tapping his hoof."

No Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.


I guess its good you didn't have children Lou. I could imagine you spoiling everything in life for them.



I can't figure it out, you put up nice stories that make it seem like you're sensitive.

Then you do stuff that comes across very cold.


I really think you would have told Virginia that there was no Santa Claus. Its tough but I can picture you walking thru the mall and telling kids that Santa is a fake.

With a few well recognized exceptions :-) we're all adults here, not kids on Christmas morning or at the mall. In fact, it's worth pointing out that the book is about pool hustlers -- I have no doubt that Freddy's tome is filled with stories of guys doing far, far, far worse than someone pointing out that King and Jerry were working a hustle too. From the sound of things, they sure sucked a lot of guys in.

If not, let me know and I will.

phone, email, or PM, or this thread will work.

Please fellas, give Lou a break. Since his investigative reporting I have taken 17 more pre-pub orders -- with apparently more having promised to come forth. If this keeps up people are going to start to suspect that I put him up to it.:wink:
I dont have this thing advertised anywhere yet.

Edit-I was going to ask for #58, the number of the house i was brought up in but then figured it might be a pain and what difference does it make. Told Freddie to give me any number. He did #58!!
