So - I'm playing a fella 'Jorden' from K.S. (damn good player and good people too). Its about 3-3:30 in the mornin' - we'd been playin for about 5 hours straight ..races to 5.

*BOOOM* - What the hell? Everyone runs out. LOL - Some 'chick' drives into the building ! LOL

I ran to me car and snapped a photo of the fun :D

We played till about 5:30 in the wee-mornin'. The cops were STILL OUTSIDE WRITING TICKETS!!! WOW!! THATS A LOT OF TICKETS!
 
How the hell do you run into a building??? A guy did that here in va he ran into an outback steakhouse but was having a seizure everyone was fine after the fact! Was she drunk??
 
nevermind it loaded... was a nice car too. Thats funny though and yes you would have thought she might have seen the building in front of her. Weird things happen ive seen a few people run into houses on my street alone... its a f'd up world
 
Thanks for the pictures, DeadStrokeMan! The .jpeg files, though, were so large, I'm not sure how in the world you even got them uploaded onto this thread! As I write this post, they are still downloading.

If you're using Windows XP as an operating system, may I suggest an easier way to post picture files which will download much faster, especially for those on dial-up.

COPY your original .jpeg file by right-clicking it and then PASTE it onto your desktop.

Left-click the START button.
Left-click the PAINT icon.
Left-click FILE.

Locate your .jpeg file and pull it up in PAINT.
On the top of the PAINT window, the toolbar will display FILE, EDIT, VIEW, IMAGE, COLORS, and HELP. Left-click IMAGE. Then left-click STRETCH/SKEW.

Change the HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL measurements from 100 to 25 in both the HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL.

Then SAVE your new .jpeg file under a different name on your desktop. The newly named file, which is much smaller in bytes, can then be downloaded quickly and be enjoyed by all! :)

Do you always carry a camera with you? The girl in the second picture playing looks like the same girl standing behind the car.

I believe the second picture is of Angel Paglia. Hummina, hummina!! :D
 
Gosh, she just bumped the wall a bit !

5 years ago I went to our regular Sunday 11AM practice session (VNEA team) at Matchroom Billiards here in Saskatoon. An hour before that an old timer had some problems with his car and ran it through a small kiosk-like office and on into the pool hall. The kiosk was about 10 feet deep, with a wall between it and the hall. The car came in so far that he pushed a 12' snooker table at least 6' into a second snooker table ! The car was still in the hall so we took the opportunity to climb up on the hood and had a few pictures taken playing a shot or two :) The driver was OK, a few walls had to be repaired, and I'm sure the car was a write-off, as was snooker table #1 (#2 was fine after a few adjustments).

Oh ya, the real good news about this event. There was an elderly couple who played snooker every Sunday morning from 9AM to 10:30 or so, always on the tabled that got wrecked. They hadn't missed playing a Sunday for a long, long time, but for some reason they did not come play that day. They surely would have been injured or possibly killed by this accident had they followed their regular routine.

Dave, who should drop by there someday and see if they still have those photos ...

That can't be the pro room surely. The table has a massive big hole in it.

You must be blind man. It's staring you in the face. There, up there, in the corner where the pocket's supposed to be. You wouldn't be allowed to play on it in Britain. Badgers sets are protected.

I know a little about quantum mechanics. Try this little experiment. Stare at the centre of the table for about 30 seconds. See for yourself if the nine ball doesn't disappear as it gets caught by it's gravitational field.
