The QUEEN is a charitable ruler and wishes that her subjects feel comfortable before being tossed in the royal dungeon. Personally, I favoreth the royal beheadings! :eek: (They beheading off to kiss my pedicure! :p )

As long as the royal dungeon has a pool table, I think any subject shall not mind! :D

Now when I read about the beheading, for some odd reason, I got this image of a head rolling around on a pool table like a cue ball!
 
You mean there's 9 pages of people that think Rackmsuckr is a Queen? Sheesh!
 
By now, everyone probably knows that I am in Sigel's bracket, how 'weak' it is, and that I am the sacrificial lamb. That's ok, I am still gonna come out of the gate gunning for him and whatever happens, happens. I am still going to have a blast one way or the other.

Last night, my husband Mike Zimmerman (a fellow IPTer) and Glenn Atwell, who is staying with us and trying to qualify for the Reno tournament, (only needs to win one more tomorrow, against Brady Gollan), and I went to our regular Friday night 8-ball tournament.

I really didn't feel like going; I want to keep all my practice on 9 footers instead of 8 footers, but we went to eat first, and I had my laptop with me, so I could always sit there and gab online here.

I fumble-farted around the first game to someone who plays ok, but I normally beat. It was just gross and I lost. So already, I am in the loser's bracket and grumbling that I didn't even want to be there. I set up my laptop.

I win my next 2 to absolute beginners who could only pocket balls, but it actually got close and they could have won if they were only a smidge better. I'm still playing the worst pool of my life and barely winning.

Then I play Marlon, a Filipino - a pretty good A player and I beat him. Then I played James Davee, and I beat him. James usually is one of the finalists and wins a lot. Then I play my husband. Normally, he wins the tournament too and drills me, but this time, I kept safing him until I got a good shot and then ran out on him. Then I beat Brian Bach who went berserk on his 8 ball, and I ran out on him and then played Glenn Atwell in the Finals and we decided to split, since we were all together. But we should play one game and he said he needed practice breaking, so he got the break.

He broke, made a ball, but whitey landed on the end rail. He tried a tough cut in the side and I ran out from there. Woo hoo! A big $90!

I think the tournament got Glenn in absolute dead punch, judging by the way he ran out from all over the place against Mike Vidas today. :p

More good news: Mike and I were offered a huge sponsorship deal from the same company that also sponsors Mike Sigel and Loree Jon. I asked the owner who he would be rooting for when Sigel and I play each other and he diplomatically answered, "I will root for the winner." ;)

The glimmer of the crown had me blinded. I thought the 7 was a 9.

I come before all Azer bretheren, as herald to the Queen.

I proclaim, nay I shout! That our gracious Queen,
still dominates that table of green!
(Hey that rhymes!)

She is fair, honorable, and will make us proud,
when she takes on Mike who's boasts have been loud.
(Don't stop me I'm on a roll.)

Sponsorships flow in as her deeds have been arresting
we all appauld you your highness for the knaves you've been besting.

I just am one sworn to your allegence,
And I will speak for the rest.
We congradulate you in your endevour
we know you will do your best...

OK, that rhymes better, lol. You are such a cutup. Thanks for the Ode to the QUEEN.

Last night, fast forward to the same place, same kind of tournament. I AGAIN beat Mike and Glenn on the winner's side! I think they are starting to get a complex playing me, lol.

I played a great game, making 3 tough shots in a row to win against Troy Van Winkle for the point, he went over to the B side and made a difficult bank on the 8 against Glenn (ran from the break) to come back over and challenge me.

First game, I broke, came up dry and the balls landed like a dot-to-dot, and he ran out. The second game, he tried to run out and then I ran down until I was got on the ball before the 8 straight in, very easy shot. However, the choice to draw or follow came up and I elected to cheat the pocket and follow and rattled the 1 and Troy ran out the rest. :(

So he won ($70), I got 2nd ($50), Glenn got 3rd ($30), and Mike got 4th ($20).

Hi....errrrm...Queen!

So who won the NWPA tourney at the Parlor? Joanne Ashton or Liz Cole?

And that was fun playing you some games. You were dialed in that day on the banks, beating me several games. Did I win the last one? I don't remember. Only thing I remember was hanging them or scratching.

Long Live the Queen! (til she gets overthrowned! :)

Joanne won.

Did you win the last one? Yeah right. If THE QUEEN must refresh your memory, we played 3 SETS of 9ball banks. I won 5-1, 5 to negative 1, and 5-3 by running 3 banks in a row.

And I won't mention how I drilled you in the next 9 ball set either. :rolleyes: However, Umma, I must give you points for manfully taking my ribbing. I have the feeling 1PRoscoe is waiting in the wings to torture me. :eek:

Did you go see Mike Massey Wed. night at The Parlor? I was sick all day Monday and Tuesday and still recuperating Wed. so I didn't go. :(

Heh! You would remember the scores. I only remembered one of them. Couldn't remember the others at all, except they were bad.

Yeah, I saw Massey. His trick shots are great! I originally wasn't going to go because I've seen him twice before, but at the last minute decided to go.

I'm glad I did go because it was fun to watch. On the other hand, I played pool with some friends until 1:30am, so thus I slept in the next day and didn't go to work until 11am. :eek:
