Trailer Park Billiard Brawl

I’ve always understood that if you’re going to fight with pool equipment to use the balls not the sticks. The obvious question is what the hell is a full size pool table doing in a mobile home?:D :D :D

And often in Canada (Halifax is in Canada btw, fn our oldest city) a 'full sized pool table' means a snooker table ! But I doubt it in this case, that would be totally ridiculous :confused:

Dave, who loves Halifax, it's a GREAT town with excellent beer traditions, regardless of the actions of some trailer treasures.
 
I'd have one in my living room too! For those of you unfamiliar with Canadian money, a toonie is a coin worth $2. (A loonie is worth $1 and has a duck or loon on it.)
 
It's not that strange to have a pool table in a livingroom. Hell, we're Canadian, we need something to keep us from going crazy in the winter.

I'm not sure I've ever heard of a full sized pool table in a trailer though. I thought they only had grow ops in those things.
 
I think those guys post at RSB

"The F-word was being thrown around as a adverb, adjective, pronoun, noun," she said. "I couldn't make out what they were screaming about."

It must have been a trailer to keep up with the snobs, you know, a double wide.
And I thought Maritimers were doen-to-earth people.:D
 
I think this is just a internet legend.

The give away is if it really happened in Canada it would be F--_ you, Eh

Small world - I just found out yesterday what a loonie and a toonie was.

Asked the Canadian to bring a few back for me on his next trip.

Would a coin with Britney Spears on it be called a moonie?

I was at a strip joint in Dryden(sp?), Ontario with beautiful girls and cheap beer. Guys would put a loonie in their mouths and lay their heads on the stage. The girls would retrieve them with their t#$s. Very nice town. Pool tables there too.

Yes Halifax is a great city. I was there for a brief trip a few months ago.

It was 10:00 on Monday night, and we were going to fly out
early the next morning. I hoped to get in at least a couple hours of pool.
I looked in the yellow pages and saw about a
dozen billiard parlors. I called a few and asked where the best
players hang out. Somebody said, "oh, probably Burnside Snooker Club."

I walked in at 10:30 and saw I think 8 12-foot snooker tables. Three
were in use. A new group of three players walked in while I was
looking around. They were talking about whether to play doubles or
some kind of king of the hill when I interjected and said I'd be happy
to play some games with somebody if anybody wanted to. One guy said,
"Do you gamble?" I said "Yeah....cheap....for fun." I was happy to
play snooker, but as soon as I pointed out I was a pool player visiting
from the states, they suggested going into the adjacent room where they
had a few 8-foot pool tables with fast cloth and big pockets.

Two of them suggested a ring game. I was of course a little leary
playing a ring game with two opponents who are friends, but when they
suggested a loony on the five and a twoney on the nine, I figured I
can't really get hurt and I'd quit if it didn't pass the smell test.
They were fine, on the up and up. One played near my speed, and the
other played somewhat stronger, though not a champion. After a while
and some backs and forths the stronger player had to leave to meet
somebody at the casino. The other fellow suggested $20 sets. We
played two, and I won them both. Then it was 11:45 and the place was
closing at midnight. I said I didn't think we had time for another set
and suggested playing by the game. He suggested $10 a game. I was up
two games and breaking when it became clear it was our last game. He
suggested going for $20. I got out and finished up $80. I tried to
grab his time on the way out, but they wouldn't take any money from me.
