I still carry an old Kelly slim case 1 butt 2 shafts. It is not that I don't need anything else, I carry my own chalk. But if I need something more I can go to my truck and get it. I don't need everything I own with me in the pool room.

Make a post like the one above.
 
Googan

An Internet term for lowlife webmaster who posts ads and web pages typically with no meaningful content, no regard for adwords copywriting, or consideration for other people, especially those who click on promising-looking links.

"I couldn't find any argyle socks yesterday, the search results were totally full of spam web pages hogging up the place, dropping spyware and Googans snagging people with pop-up ads."


Found this on urbandictionary.com :thumbup:
 
I'm originally from NY so I know what a Googan is...

They are the same people that New Yorker's call Chowder Heads.

They all live in or near Boston and they all root for the Red Sox, and cry in their chowder nearly every time they play the Yankees.

Gotta love those Googan chowder eating goof balls ..

Remember .. A Googan never goes anywhere without some wicked good chowder close at hand! -- Be alert and be suspicious at all times.

This chowder eating breed can be hard to spot if you can not smell the aroma of chowder. They never wear their Red Sox caps unless they are in first place, so they stay well hidden for very long periods of time.

Hope this helps.

Chowdaaaahheads are coming to Anaheim soon. They're gonna boo the umpire every time a strike is called on Ortiz.
 
A Googan carries three economy size bottles of talcum powder....
....and puts his beer on the table.
 
A Googan complains about "disruptive" types at poolhalls, but smokes a cigar while playing or railbirding. Is this right? I don't know what a googan is.

Things Azbilliards warriors might do:

1. Make fun of people who buy stuff. The more stuff they buy, the more ridicule
2. Complain that there is no money in the billiards industry
3. Whine About what everybody else does
4. Complain about people whining.
5. Go out to play and never spend any money
6. Laugh at casual players who buy beers and bring in women etc
7. Cry when their favourite billiards room has to close. All the casual players were chased out..
8. Always whine about the tables they play on: The pockets are too tight/loose, the cloth is too worn/new, the cushions are to bouncy/dead, the table is 0,0001 inches out of level..
9. Complain that nobody opens a pool room
10. Complain about everyone being a nit
11. Being the most gigantic nit since the beginning of time
12. Using trendy words they don't understand to describe things they don't understand.

Straightpool_99: Takes a 4by8 case to the poolroom. Because I play ALL games. Carom/Pool/Snooker and because my playing cue has 2 aftermarket shafts...I have a jump cue and a break cue also...And because I like to buy stuff and try them out. My case has scuffers, cue papers, a microfiber cloth, and a towel, because I like my shaft slick and my tip well groomed;). Don't have a cue holder, but now I might get one, just to piss you off;). I don't like powder, so I don't have it. I know people like you might get a kick out of knowing I sometimes use a glove. Sadly it's black, but I'm thinking about getting a neon green one. Maybe a pink, fiberglass cue also heh, heh. I get not only the satisfaction of trying new things, but also knowing that the money I spend go back to support the game I love. I've made centuries in snooker, a 100 in straight pool etc..If all this makes me a Googan (never heard that expression used in this context, btw), then so be it.

Oh, and when I'm in a bar, I buy beer and tip the waitress/bartender. Because I like to be welcome back, wherever I go, and because, even if I don't bring a cue with me, I know that by playing the game seriously, even in a place like that, I'm representing poolplayers. God knows we have a lot of complaining and assholish behaviour to make up for.

Tried to give you a greenie but it says I need to start sharing the love.

I wonder if I would be considered a Googan(?) ?

I've bought books from multiple people here, I bought a shaft from JcMn, I bought shirts from SkyscraperChris, Chalk from RJ, a cue from Rain-Man, an extension and jump handle from NewSherrifIntwn, and racks and a break tip from Renfro. That's all within the last 9 months and if a Googan means someone pretty crappy at the game that would be me. :) It's about normal with me though. When I do something I really get into it and spend money with people that I see trying to make it in the industry.

I too am somewhat of a googan. I carry a case with 2 butts and 4 shafts. One shaft is my player and I have an extra player shaft in case my regular player shaft loses a tip. One shaft that I carry goes with the butt of my breaker. I also carry a shaft specifically for three cushion. I also carry a buffer and the usual tip tools. I am not an "A" player but I am a solid "B" and can handle myself respectfully with anyone. I also know some super googans that carry their own balls and bring several cues to the poolroom simply because they like to and can.
