Toasty to become citizen

[Taxi]

Does anyone know if Fedor took the test for his citizenship yet I know my grandparents had to coming over here from the old country

Gorst became a permanent U.S. resident in 2023, so he can apply for citizenship in 2028.

I wish him the best of luck. Every time he leaves the US, there is no telling if he will be allowed to re-enter. Hope he is carrying a burner phone with zero social media on it, that is all I can say.

Why anyone would want to become a US citizen right now is beyond me.

To own a big ass house and property that Europe or any country cannot offer.

I live in a desirable neighborhood here in Cali and there are many. My property is pretty big for being in the city. I can and have been asked if parties and ceremonies be held in my backyard.

I don't think some old ancient town/city in Europe can offer that.

Cologne, Germany? LOL

Munich? LOL

On his wages and endorsements, he can probably get a mini mansion in Las Vegas. Property size may not be as big as other parts of the USA but he gets a nice chunk of a home. To say "why anyone would want to come here" is a lazy argument or statement when we have people rushing the damn border to get here.

Again, congrats to him and I like to see him more involved with our Mosconi team. He should be consulted.

iirc he used to own a house in florida, after those big wins he had (W9C and IPT). probably sold it. i think he lives in an apartment in NY.

toastie is from hesse, one of the most affluent states in germany, but it's not like you can't find a big house there without being crazy rich. germany isn't the netherlands, it got room. he probably just prefers the US. he's been there half his life almost. NYC is probably a good spot for an instructor with his pedigree.

America just got a little bit better.

The test is similar to a 7th grade civics class

Maybe from 40 years ago. Modern civics doesn't teach what you would need to know. My wife went through the naturalization process about 8-10 years ago. I helped her study for it.

Well, not really.

Those glasses make him look like he could be the dean of Harvard law school.

He has an aura about him. He can be an actor.

Congrats to the Hitman. I'd like to buy
him a fine German beer and say Prost on becoming an American.

If Wiki is correct, Hohmann will be 46 this coming Monday (July 14).

And he won his first world 9-Ball title the week he turned 24!

july 14? that’s svb’s birthday, probably a different year

I would owe him another if he could down a whole PBR. Last time I had one I failed to finish that skunk bomb.

I use to drink PBR because my pool hall would sell them cheap. Like $8/pitcher which means $2 a beer.

Then one day, the hipsters in our town decided they want to drink PBR too. Started paying $6 for it. It skyrocketed the cost of PBR because everyone now thinks its some tasty hip beer.

We were only drinking because it was cheap.

Yeah I recall their brand cashed in on that somehow.

Relatedly, next month my store will have Oktoberfest beers priced at $15 for a 4 pack of some craft brand and the traditional German brewers priced at $9. I just have to laugh at the people who buy the craft brewers imitating the real thing for nearly twice the price.
