TAR 22: Earl Quotes

I had my own name for Earl, "The Early Bird". Why, because he was always the first one to show up at the practice room every morning. In fact sometimes he would be at the ballroom door at 9AM waiting for me to open up.

My own favorite all time Earl line was delivered to me in the privacy of an elevator the night he ran eleven racks in Dallas to win the million. I asked him what was going through his head when he got finally got down on that long combination in the tenth game. He had to shoot the one up table into the nine, which was a good foot out from the corner pocket. He looked at me with his most serious face and replied, "I just wanted to give it a legitimate chance."

He did too, right into the pocket! Swish
 
I was at the first SBE in Secaucus NJ, I think it was like 1992. Remember, there had never been a show like this before where there are all the top cuemakers are together in one place displaying their cues.

My buddy and I are sitting at a table in the Embassy Suites having breakfast and Earl sits down at the table next to us. We are just sitting there eating and all of a sudden Earls blurts out to us... "Did you see all those fancy cue sticks they have here? Who needs a fancy cue stick? I beat them all $100 fvcking Cuetech!!!!" My buddy and I almost fell out of our chairs.

This may be the thread of the year.

"I used to hide under the table until the place got crowded," Strickland said. "That's where I got my pool training wheels. I played this 7-foot guy named Moose. His face was disfigured. We played for 24 straight hours and I was winning and I told him I was tired and wanted to go home. He looked down on the top of my head and said he would eat me. We kept playing."

"I'm a beauty. Guess you can call me Minnesota Skinny"

"When I'm 60, I'll be robbing every one of ya." "I'll be here like a court date."
 
Haven't read this thread or anything but this is a great quote from Earl in the podcast...

"They have a whole desert full of a money over there...they aren't giving it to us. "


Earl is a real pear for sure. Here is another one he told me when i was a 13 year old kid aspiring to be a pool player...

" I'm workin for you kid...if I don't make it...you aint making it!"

I just bought the 3 day package. I'm like a kid on christmas. Why is my wife looking at me like I'm an idiot?
 
"just bat shit crazy."

Don't forget to include that one....I just spit beer on my keyboard when I read it.
 
My favorite. "You suck, you suck, all of London sucks"

That was at a Mosconu Cup a few years back. Think it was the same year Peach threw a pacifier at him. I also think that was his last one.

Shame really, he plays well and is very entertaining. He isn't really a good example of American Pool Players when he is abroad though. I don't want them to think we are all like that.
 
Earl was about to play Teddy Garahan in the Big Apple tourney at Masters.

Earl says: " He can't even play a radio".
