[Fatboy]

My only awkward moment with the name Fatboy happened at the at the Riv at a tourney in 08 or 09 I walked into the convenience store to grab a few things. AZB was much bigger back then and I was more active in pool, so often people I didn’t know would come up and introduce themselfs which I always thought was very cool and nice of them.

Anyways a very nice guy who weighed 500 on the low, 600 on the high saw me and said across the store “Hey Fatboy how’s it going?”. Several people in the store looked at me and him with the WTF is going on look. Which I totally understood. I froze for what seemed like a minute and I replied “I’m great, how are you?”. We ended up talking for a few minutes, nicest guy possible. I don’t recall his name, never had seen him before or after that encounter.

That one I’ll never forget, sure wish I could recall his name. He was the largest person I’ve ever seen in pool, Chad from TAR was 550-600 but he was a giant and super tall. This guy was normal height.

He said “Bye Fatboy nice to meet you” I smiled and thanked him. Super cool memories. That’s the sort of thing in life you can’t put a price on, nice moments you can recall 15 years later and it still brings a smile to my face.

Best
Fatboy<——grateful to be lucky in life

what about a pool podcast that is based only on the subject of getting better, ala, instruction? That would be interesting and maybe just maybe you could get a tip or two out of who the guests are "IF" they are instructors... theres nothing like that on the net now anyway....

While this might be interesting...at least for a short while, it would not be helpful. Different instructors teach different strokes and listeners would have to sift thru contradictory advice all the time. It's like that famous golf quote, "99% of the tips in Golf Magazine are correct and true. The problem is that most of them don't apply to you."

Sad but true. Generalities are all too few.

one of the atomic bombs dropped to end ww11 was called fatman. it did its job very well. as we are all here.

its sad we have to cater to a bunch of sensitive ninny's in the world.

heck in the old pool rooms people got named and called those names forever based many times on their looks.
and a fat man or fatboy would be glad they didn't pick something else.

I’ve pondered doing something with the Fatboy brand/ I did the 10’ tourneys at Derby with Greg and they were fantastic.

I only ask this question because everyone is so hyper sensitive to words these days I don’t want to use a word that will be counterproductive in any marketing campaigns.

So because I’m out of touch with the current parlance of our times. I’m asking everyone here to please answer this. Even if you hate me, that’s ok. Your voice matters more. If you love me, you matter too.

I’m in a spot in my life where I have the time, connections, and other biz related things to turn Fatboy into a brand. A brand which can manufacture, resell, invent new products related to pool for residential and commercial types of applications. Tables, cues, cases, etc etc etc.

I’ve never been on FB in my life or any social media but here. And I’ve been successful on AZB, I feel as though I could be successful on larger platforms. Sure there’s more competition to get clicks, but Fatboy creates good content & id be competitive there. (I just don’t want the personal attention).

However if I were to launch a brand Fatboy or Fatboy’s (something ) is that name cool these days

I’m biased as it’s my nickname and I like it when people call me Fatboy.

Thanks for the feed back

Fatboy<———while not PC , ok possibly the lease PC person, I wouldn’t market a name brand out side the lines. I’m smart enough to play fair and by the rules & norms of society

If you like it in personal situations, I think it's ok, although I think in a business atmosphere it would seem self deprecating and there will be a lot more negative than positive for it. jmo.

If it was good enough for Minnesota Fats and Harley Davidson, I think you'll be fine.

Go for it!! Funny you mention this is your only online presence. I browsed this site for 6-8 mos b4 signing up.
Something about AZ really moved me. My only online presence as well.
It may have gone downhill, according to some I've read, but it's still the best damn pool site going and the knowledge here is second to none!!!
