It occurred in NPR. Where only the brave dare tread.

Binned? wuh hoppen?
People go there just to get bunned seems like. I prefer real issues like BHE and CPA lol...
Started playing two years ago. After two months of just playing at the pool hall twice a week, my husband bought me a pool table for our anniversary. Best present EVER! 8ft table. Gorgeous. I play every day. (He could care less about pool.)
I'm dying laughing!
No brainier. Do not ask for permission…. Beg for forgiveness. I know guy that got a table for his wife. Best trade he ever madeI was afraid that question might come up.
Fellas, sooner or later you are going to have to decide. Either you wear the pants in the family or she does. You made your bed, now ya' gotta sleep in it.
Go buy the nasty old table for 200 bucks. Set it up. And practice. When she realizes that pool is genuinely important to you, she will either support you, or leave. If she supports you, you made an outstanding choice. If she leaves, you made an outstanding choice. Either way, you win.
Look, guys, I can help. Just think of me as Dear Abby.
Ya' know, there are a lot of "pool players" who remind me of that wannabee golfer who went down to the Pro Shop and bought a $5400.00 set of the latest sticks, a $4000.00 Italian leather bag, and the most expensive pair of Foot Joys money could buy....and will never, ever break 90.
Listen to me! Hang out on Craigslist in the "Free" category. Be patient. You "Dream Table" will come...fairly soon. Go get it and set it up yourself. Don't worry if it isn't level....you're not good enough for that to matter. Anyway, start playing. When you can break and run 3 racks of 9-ball straight, you'll be a Pool Player.
XOXOXO,
Abby
Please froward to my wife. I get the classic nag-a-ramma. Thanks, FrankPeople really need to stop worrying about what other people spend their own money on.
Just be careful who you let see you do this, in the wrong crowd it can permanently kill any action.When you can break and run 3 racks of 9-ball straight, you'll be a Pool Player.
Again on AZ? No offense, but my most devoted students practice many hours daily before we meet--because their shot making stinks on ice.The BAT System
OK, you've just gone out and spent $900.00 for a new cue, and you can't make a ball. Your bride is miffed.
Sell the cue and Buy A Table. (BAT)
Buy a cheap table on Craigslist.
Buy an ugly table from a neighbor.
Buy a table with stained cloth.
Buy a table with old cushions
Buy a bar box if your house is small.
Buy a table with wonky slates.
Then INSTALL the table. Your bride is already miffed about the stick, so what.
Then borrow an old one piece cue from a friend.
Then practice 4 to 5 hours a day until you don't miss any shots.
OH, stop making excuses. If your house is real small, buy the bar box and stick it in a corner...and learn how to shoot on the two available sides. If you can't learn how to shoot pool, sell the table for a small profit and try something else.

I find these comments oddly offensive, speaking on behalf of zookeepers.Dear Deruki,
Your experiences are a living testimony to the old adage that "Decisions have consequences."
You are not God. When the Bible talks about "my brother's keeper," it is not suggesting that we should our brother's zoo keeper. In point, it is not incumbent upon you to make, or even suggest, life strategies for the lads with whom you play pool.
Whippem' like a rented mule. Take all their money, right down to their child support and/or tattoo money. If they beg for weight, give it to 'em, and keep whippin' the foo-foo feathers out of them.
You are in an enviable position. Through action and deed, your example may one day help them see the error of their ways...and at the same time, you will be winning enough money to buy that Diamond you've been dreaming of.
It can't fail!
You'll thank me!
Warmest regards,
Abby
