Railbird wisdom

Haven't any of you ever been playing, when after attempting to make a hard cut shot...miss, only to hear a couple of guys talking about you playing when in the back ground you hear one guy say to his buddy, "Man, that was an easy shot, I could have made that with no problem"...only, he's NOT the one shooting!

I get this a lot: "You break like a man."

Then I ask, "Which man, Deuel or Hatch?"

That usually brings on a blank stare.
 
I was on the road for work a few years ago in a small town and I played in a 9 ball tournament one night and my first opponent was a young drunk guy who kept saying he started drinking at 10am after I beat him 7-0 he kept talking about how his brother was the best player in town then two matches later i had to play the brother who was a nice guy and sober we started and the brother showed up and talked to me in between games talking about how good his brother is and that I was good but he was better well the match was over and the young guy came up to me and said dont feel bad he beats alot of good players and my reply was I bet he does hes a great player but I beat him 7-3 the kids jaw bounced off the floor I walked away laughing I had to beat the brother again in the finals we decided to play to 5 instead cause it was late and I got him 5-1 this time the brother sat by and didnt say a word.
 
Thanks for reviving this thread. Recently heard: "How could you miss with ball-in-hand?" And, "Have you ever played before?"
 
We were in the middle of a game of eight ball with almost all the balls on the table with my opponent lining up a shot when a guy comes up to put quarters up for the next game.

Instead of putting his quarters up he puts all three of them in the slots. I said, "Stop!"

He gave me a weird look and shoved them in. Then the most entertaining oh crap what have I done? Look came over him.

He never returned.
 
I joined a pool team where I ended up being the highest rated shooter on the team.

Well before the guys had seen me shoot we were discussing strategy of the current layout when the guy that had a different idea than me said, "Listen! I'm trying to give you knowledge!"

That became me and my buddy's catch phrase for months.

I've always thought it would be funny to stupidly walk up to a Pro match between someone like Efren and Earl(for example) and put a coin on the table and say "I'm next".Just to get an expression from the crowd and players.lmao.

Why bother coming up with new stuff, just play the patterns that work. The hard part is finding an old pattern that works with whats on the table.

(for you 14.1 fanatics.)
 
ive been playing in bars for years and the funniest thing EVER was just after I sank the 8 to win a set, the guy laughs and tells me.....you made that harder then you had to......you shot the cueball off the rail EVERY time.......you NEVER gave yourself a "cue butt distance" off the rail!!!!.....

well...i guess I won AND lost? :)

Jersey Red had a bunch of needles. One of my favorites was when he would leave you frozen to the rail...."careful not to get any splinters"
 
My fav is always "you shot that to hard or it would have went in" and on no particular shot.

If I had shot at the center of the damn pocket it wouldn't matter if I had shot it at warp speed..
 
that smarts

Once when I hit the rail well before the pocket and it went in, I said, "Wow, I almost missed that shot......" A guy said, "You DID MISS THAT SHOT"....
