I live in Texas and I like pool.
My Name is Bret and I am a big guy. Friends at the pool hall started calling me BigDog and it has stuck with me over the years.

Johnny, Your tale is similar to the actor, Johnny Depp. He and Winona
Ryder were a hot item in their younger days. Depp,to show his undying
love for her, had "WINONA FOREVER" tattooed on his upper arm in quite
bold script. Their romance ended shortly after it began. He was going to
have the tatoo removed, but he came up with a better solution.
All he had removed was the "NA". It now reads "WINO FOREVER"

I also have a life-long friend who has been married three times, all of them to girls
named "Linda". He's safe if he talks in his sleep.

Too much knowledge can be a terrible thing...
The origin of my nickname is rather obvious, but it reminded me of a story.
My wife does a lot of genealogy (you know, tracing the family tree, like Alex Haley in "Roots"). Sometimes I help her out with research and such. In return, she traces my family tree as well.
In my research, I came across an article on the origin of surnames. I had wondered at times where we get our names. Where did it all start? The article said that many last names (surnames) originated from a person's occupation. Names like Baker, Miller, Taylor, Chandler (candle maker), etc.
I thought this was really cool until I found out that my great grandmother's maiden name was "Hooker".

LMAO! Excellent story, but look at the bright side....maybe she got the name from applying worms to fishermen's hooks. So what's better, Hooker or Masterbaiter?

I've done my best to repair that move, but the forum won't allow me to give you rep again -- good or bad. So I gave a couple of your threads a top rating. Sorry I misunderstood, and not that Jay needs me to defend himself. My bad. And hey, I'm sorry.

Interesting, well how did you come up with Pool Sleuth?CocoboloCowboy said:When I was a kid growing up in Florida, and Southern Californian I always want to be a Cowboy like many of the TV Cowboys I grew up watching on TV in the 1950?s. Roy & Dale, Hoppy, Cisco & Poncho, The Rifleman, Cheyenne, The Lawman, Paladin, Nick Adams in The
Rebel, Steve McQueen in Wanted Ded or Alive, etc. My favorite wood is Cocobolo
Cowboy + Cocobolo= CocoboloCowboy

Cheers,
Joe

I started to go to Vegas about 25 years ago. I was into playing Blackjack and counting cards. I don't gamble but play calculated risk. I was doing real good.
I was going out there 6 to 8 times a year. Back in the day you could get a full comp of food, room, entertainment and air if you were a player; which I was. I bought every book available on beating the system and would practice for hours with my wife. It was a challenge and fun.
I also started to play video poker. I carried a note book and devise a system to keep track of every hand. I would sit at the bar and mark the hands that I played. I would then analyze the hands when I got home and figured out a system. This was before Bob Dancer did his computer thing. The bartenders thought that I was a IRS agent keeping track of the TIPS that they got. They started to refer to me as The Book. After they seen me so frequently one of them asked me if I lived there. I told them that I was from Michigan. We started to talk and I became friends with many of them. After they were comfortable with me they told me that they would refer to me as The Book and why.
Since the accountants took over everything has tightened up and it is harder to beat them. Our trips have been cut down to once a year.

Well, John Taggz is a nickname I got because my last name is Taglienti, which can be a pain to pronounce (tag-lee-en-tee or tag-lee-enny). I just started calling myself it and everyone in the neighborhood started calling me that. 88 is just the year I was born which is 1988.

You can call me Jay or you can call me Hey. Just don't call me late for dinner.
No offense taken in any way. I hope I know a joke when I hear one.
