Some Of the Worst Advice Given On AZB

The most amazing thing I saw with ping pong was in Akron when I was a kid.
The owner had turned a 9-foot GC into a court, stripped the rails and cloth and put up a net.
He was giving someone 19 going to 21....and using a putty knife...about 1.5 inches wide....
....sanded down the dried putty for a great bat surface.
....beat the man 21-19 five games in a row for a thousand a game.
...the guy did everything with that putty knife that you could do with an expensive bat.

I could give him the 5/6/7/8 at nine ball...he could give me the world in ping pong.

Aww, i was expecting a gag. :angry:
 
Wrong advises

Pumping Iron: "I can give Franco the wrong advises".. thanks Arnold.

Scotchbrite will bring that shaft finish right back.:grin-square:
 
Don't have sex for a week before a match.

I play league once a week, have done for the past 10 years. Weirdly enough, my wife and Derek have gotten awfully close in the last 10 years.
 
I was once told ... "Why are you doing this? You should have faith in what Kevin Trudeau is doing for the game of pool ... you need to stop with all of your negative comments ... you're totally wrong about all of this and you're only embarrassing yourself. It's not too late, David ... you can still get in ... they're having qualifiers everywhere ... it's just a $2K entry fee ... you can play in as many as you need to qualify. Don't miss out on this opportunity - this is the future of pool!"

... and to think that I was crazy enough not to listen to that guy.

I remember that. You stood strong against him and never wavered. Kudos to you.
 
"we should bet on some of these TAR matches...this will be fun!"

then I go 0-11.

This is like how I was in the hospital for doing stupid things that required stitches and surgeons a half a dozen times before I was 10 years old. Its all kinda of humorous how bad ideas can seem so right at the time.
 
Good thread. I'm enjoying how many times "advice" and "advise" are butchered.

I have no life (live)

"Let's go get Earl Strickland's autograph!" right after he loses a match.

WORST ADVICE EVER!

Short story:
When Landon was very, very young, Tony Robles set Landon up to get Earl's autograph on the tourney's flyer at an event in GA. Tony gave Landon a tricked-up inkpen that would shock or buzz the writer's hand when the cartridge release button was pressed .....Oh heck, Boy, did all it break loose when Earl pressed the button......and to top it all, a crew of nearby viewers that were in the know began to hehaw at Earl. That was Landon's first real good chewing out for nothing but good intentions.
