the smell at derby city
- Thread starter Opie
- Start date
Not sure about it being a "bank champion" But I did witness this 9-Ball champion doing it 3 times in the lobby. Also members of his entourage were involved from what I also witnessed.
Its a shame for someone that appears to be so professional is truly lacking in the maturity part. My respect level for these people has went to 0%. It is unfortunate that this continued to happen all week long, however it never happend during his matches, how ironic huh?

I couldn't believe it when someone told me it was probably some poolplayers who were setting the stink bombs off. Bank champion? Jesus freaking christ. Only thing that could have made it worse would be to combine it with cigarette smoke and the ever-present odor of the candied nuts (vendor must have made 25k) in the hallway.

You saw him do it and yet you won't say his name? For the sake of this tournament, TELL US WHO IT IS!!! That's the kind of crap that ruins tournaments, and this guy deserves to be known for what he did. WHO WAS IT??
Wow that is crazy, and man i do know those things stink, brings back high school memories in the hallway.
> Are you talking about farting on purpose in close company or setting off a smoke-bomb type thing? I know one guy that was right there close to the end of the bank event,and his talent for relieving himself in close quarters is almost on par with his bank game. You'll recognize him if you see him,he looks like Johnny Unitas,LOL. Tommy D.

I believe I know who you're talking about, but.... There were numerous people that had them. Two kids were spotted with them as was two players that I know of. It was gross and annoying but impossible to catch all that were partaking. Someone at my table found one in the bar and asked the waitress to dispose of it... she said she just threw it away in the trash can behind the bar.sweatinNbettin said:
Funny story...
I had a buddy of mine named Tommy F. that used to shark people by breaking wind. Before a big match he would eat lots of peppermint and it always made him a tooting all over the place. Was quite funny when we were in college. I refused to play him if he had been near peppermint. But keep in mind we were both in our early 20's at the time...grown adults doing anything similar is uncalled for.

Well I just had a little history lesson on the stink bombs at the Derby, they have been happening since the first year, two of the bigger names in pool, wanted to watch a match, there were no seats, so the first stink bomb was cast, they got their seats. SO it's been a bit of tradition since then, everyone that gets caught is warned. They say folks that go every year carry matches just so they can stay in their seats. Love it or hate it, pool players are creative, lol

> Howard changes cues more than any living human,in fact I've never seen the man play with the same cue twice in a row,but have seen him with the same Schick several times. He played with a Benson back in the 80's,his matching break cue had a titanium shaft then,but since then I've seen him with a Scruggs,several Meucci's,a plain Tad,Black Boar,a high end McDermott,the aforementioned Schick,a Joss East,and literally 10-15 others.

Opie said:It was good to meet you too Hal. Someone pointed out to me that Cliff Joyner was playing with a Meucci also. I guess it's a case of the stick not making the man. (Opie- Wishes all women thought this way)
That's one of the funniest things I've ever read on this forum!

The smell that bothered me the most is......
The vendors in the hallway that sell those sweet nuts. I know they are good vendors and do a very good business there and are good customers of Greg Sullivan.
I just get tired of the extra sweet aroma at all times even though I realize that is what gets them the business.
It also raises the temperature by the stand (in the hallway) about 10 degrees.
This is no biggie - just a pet peeve of mine.
