Unreal straight pool shot

I'm the one sniffing glue.:o

I let a friend show me this game (I had never played it), and he thought that the empty space on the second rack went on the bottom, NOT the footspot! I got home last night and read the rule book, and he was

WRONG.

Now, how often is a man wrong? That's the real question.

I'm sorry for the headaches and I should have put this in the other forum (Mods: please move it?), but it's what noobs like me do until we learn. A thousand pardons for being stupid.:o:o:o

PS. Skis are tuned and ready to rip......and I bought a snowboard at the ski swap, so expect me to be in the next Jackass movie with lots of yard sales and bone twisting stories.:grin:

Thanks for clearing that up. In regards to 14.1, when the rest of us need rules clarifications, we get with Bob Jewett. In my experience (just my experience), he is much more knowledgeable than some of the jack asses that are flapping their gums down at the local pool hall. That's just my opinion, others opinions may vary or just not exist.
 
My friend actually has a picture of a straight pool game we played where he had the last ball in a tough spot and had to go a few rails to break the rack. Well, he got it around, but whitey stopped right where the head ball in the rack would have been. It looked like a fresh rack with the white ball in place of the one ball. Had a good laugh on it, and he snapped a photo. When he gets back next week, Ill see if i can get a copy from him.
 
Awwww, we had our first snow a few days ago, too.

Not a skier (or snowmobilier, or ice fisherman, or anything involved out in the cold) so that wasn't exactly a great moment for me. Fortunately it didn't last.

I grew up in Colorado, somehow the idea of being laid up with twisted body parts never appealed to me.:eek:
 
This was my poor swollen leg in January, 2007. I cartwheeled at speed in only 6 inches of fresh snow, had a boot-top compound fracture of my tib/fib. The gash on the shin is where the bone went through the skin and then twisted sideways. The long incision on my knee is where they put the rod in (I asked, "What happens to the marrow?" The doc said they pound the rod in with a mallet and the marrow squishes out the break. Ew). The 2 shorter incisions are where the screws are holding the rod in.

I had to be hauled out on a sled towed by a snowmobile and it took 40 minutes to get me to the patrol shack. It took another 20 minutes to get an ambulance to me....and no painkillers at all for that whole hour. I screamed the F Word every 20 seconds. They tell me I never passed out.:eek:

They put a rod in and then a year later, I had the rod removed. I didn't want to keep skiing and risk breaking it again.....with a rod in there. I made a windchime out of the rod.:grin-square:

I'm still skiing. I love it too much to stop. I can sack up.:yeah:
