There's still an entry fee to compete in their tournaments.Jimmy M. said:
Here in NY the price went up by 50 cents overnight! I read in today's paper that people are going to by the gastank caps with locks so that others won't steal gas from their tank. Oy vey!Sweet Marissa said:

You've got to be kidding me. When did they ever stop taking the entire car in NY??!!
9 Ball Girl said:At the 2003 US Open during Hurricane Isabel, we were all stuck in the Holiday Inn hotel on that Thursday. I and a few others were getting really restless so we decided to have some fun. In no particular order and in our drunken stupor:
As I distracted the bartender in one of the ballrooms that were turned into a dining area, my friend stole a bottle of Wild Turkey. Then he distracted the bartender and I stole little bottles of soda (we needed something to chase down that Wild Turkey after all!
I then went into the ladies room while my bud went into the mens room where we broke open the toilet paper recepticles and stole the toilet paper rolls. (Remember, there was no light or elevator service because the storm had taken out the electricity). We then conned one of the chamber maid's out of her gigantic roll of paper towel by telling her that it was needed for my friend's kid's science project.
We go up to the 6th floor to my friends room where we pried open the window (he broke the safety latch thing so that window was open to the max). At this point we've got about 10 other people in there that we met in the stairwell on the way back up. With winds at about 70-80 mph, we started TPing all of Chesapeake. That giant roll of paper, lets just say that I still have a "battlescar" on my index fingers from working that baby. All I remember were the drinks were nice and cold (anything's good when it's "free"), and I remember dodging one of the security guards that came up to ask us if we knew where the TP was coming from. Doh!
I wound up crashing at another friend's room (I was staying at the Hampton that year and they had no power whatsoever. The Holiday Inn had generator power). I woke up that Friday morning, hungover, eyes dry as all hell since I hadn't removed the contacts (hard lenses at that), and went downstairs to walk to my hotel.
When I turned the corner to get to the Hampton, forget about the fallen trees and limbs strewn about, there was TP all over the place! Just thinking about it now makes me
Now I just can't contain my excitement, sod the pool, where's the bar!
Gas Locks
If the supply is effected, we may see some of the same... I hope not!
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and during the gas crisis in the 70's you had to lock your gas tank or come back to an empty tank. All the gas was being rationed to 10 gallons per visit on odd and even days depending on your plate number. The gas line was usually a 2-3 hour ordeal of waiting.9 Ball Girl said:

In the Holiday Inn, make a left at the check in counter, go all the way down and it'll lead you to their bar. You can't miss it!TheOne said:Now I just can't contain my excitement, sod the pool, where's the bar!
You can always crash with me. I got myself a suite!

I hope someone here recognised the social security number I posted...Getnbzy said:An honest girl in the pool world!? My alarm clock should be going off any minute now.
LOL! You're killing me over here! I think stealing an entire car just got boring in NY. It's more artsy and rebellious to steal gasoline! LOLdrivermaker said:
Don't worry old man, you might do yourself a hernia or a coronary!drivermaker said:That's OK...actually I need to work more on my sprints. Just in case you decide to get back into it...I need to get from point "A" to anywhere outside of 75' in the blink of an eye. (and yes...I'm still very fast...especially when a 12 or 16 lb ball is arcing down to crash on the top of my skull)
I promise I'd only take out a knee cap. Just enough to make you slice that featherball a few inches right of my ear.

9BG,
Wow, you are certainly more trusting than I am. I judge everyone by their past - you are what you do (not what you claim to be). I will agree with you and RD that a person can change, but those skeletons are something a person will always have to carry around.
I can be trusting at times but "try" was the keyword in my sentence there. I've been burned a couple of times for being trusting.Williebetmore said:
Land Shark77,
You quoted:
"I mean come on...the guy said he was going to use pool as a means to advertise his book....you know the one that has the cure for cancer in it."
In all fairness, have you read any part of his book? Out of curiosity, I did. And in the section where it gives advice for specific disease states, cancer specifically, on page 348, it states "If you have cancer you need to go to a licensed health-care practicioner!" For asthma he refers people to Paul Sorvino's asthma foundation (one of the best foundations for asthma).

The question now is, can you even buy gas. The station right near me is completely out of regular or plus and only have premium. Cars are lined up around the corner right now. Regular would have been $2.98, but if they get a load tonight or tomorrow who knows what they'll hike it up to.

I'm still in the office but I heard it's going crazy down here, too. I have half a tank now... guess I'll be doing the speed limit the rest of the week.drivermaker said:

Give me a 2-iron and a few brand new Titleists and you'll be frozen like the Statue of Liberty with a 16 lb iron ball in your hand as I hit my famous "stun" shot to the family jewels target.
