Update on the Des Moines pool scene

God I love the commaraderie Pool League provides! There's nothing like watching twenty games of eight ball on one table, all while asking, "Did Green Bay score? The intensity is overwhelming at times. But the adulation, and thrill of watching a teammates eight ball shot, slowly, methodically inch it's way towards the corner pocket, first hitting the side rail, then angling to the end rail, and finally after what seems an eternity rattling in the jaws before falling! What a bank! Oh, it's not bank but call shot. Good shot anyways! Hi fives! But hey, it's only 11:00 when it's over. Perhaps i could watch the remaining minute and a half of the football game, of which i have a hundy on. Come on Gary be a team player. There will be some action when it's done, if your awake. Allrighty, we won and who's matching up, two of my teammates. Eddie and whats her name, oh Rod. Eddie's rusty, playing even, race to 7, 9-ball for 50. Both are playing a little ragged, Rod's up a game or two throughout, and she finally closes it out at 7-4. Eddie's bummed, and takes off, knowing with even a little table time he should and will, win this match up. So Rodricka comes up to me and says lets go. Where I ask, as Eddie was my ride, to B-bops? No, 9 ball she retorted. Ok I said. She says I need a three game lead to seven. I said no, you apparently just need a loan. But because our team's so close knit , I said four games to nine, for 50, knowing the spot was probably too much. I'm thinking why not, That Rod is such a charmer. It was, i lose 9-8, and now i'm pissed getting beat by my coed teammate. So I said same spot, for a hundy. No she said, three games and race to seven, for 50, and I get the first break. Keep in mind Eddie has left, Rex didn't drive, Phil is, well being phil, and Rod is my ride. I rack em. I win the first four games, ready to get out the next one, and I hear her say "foul". Phil, who's watching says that was good. Rodricka breaks her cue down, calls me a cheater, etc... I said, "You little gay bastard, let's post 500 hundred and start over" Turns out I knew the cab driver. Can't wait for next Monday.

What was the old Saturday Night Live skit....deep thoughts by Jack Handy?? We can change it to deep thoughts by gdog. Nice post dad, sounds like your night was special on a deeper level then you can possibly express. We were able to split tables and they forfeighted a match so we got done before nine which was nice. The tables at our bar play Awesome with a capital A! Ok, so they suck, mud balls, can't play on table two because it has a 3-5 inch roll...you get the point. Good times.

We also played on 2 tables. I don't really care to do this at most places. But Smokey's against the girls it seemed to make sense. After 6 or so table runs we were done with league at 8:12.

Is this a league record? We should keep a stat on that.:p

We pulled the old play on 3 tables move one week and were done by 7:50...now that was the ish.

Sidenote, I can't stand this snow. If there is more to come someone can come and make some quick cash and tighten my crib up. I'm not into this manual labor nonsense. I work with my pea brain, I'll be damned if I tackle that sidewalk and driveway.

Another sidenote, are parents serious letting their kids walk to school in this shit?

Welcome to Iowa Mikey. NOW GET OUT THERE AND SHOVEL or you can pay me HEAVILY to do it.....(refer back to my previous posts about sidewalks)

To your "another sidenote"- When I went to school I walked over 14 blocks to school YEAR ROUND! But now adays, if it gets too breezy anymore or there is a dusting of any sort of precipitation, schools get a real itchy trigger finger on pulling the plug and cancel school or let kids out early. As a matter of fact, there are already a handful of schools being let out early today.

For me today, all I see is GREEN!!!

I used to ride my bike to school 3 miles one way in weather like this just so I wouldn't have to ride the bus. Every once in a while you'd eat sh*t on a patch of ice you don't see, but anything was better than an hour bus ride. Oh and Ankeny schools rarely canceled when I went.

Pool related: Looking forward to league tonight hopefully we can pull off a good win and get a solid hold on 1st.

Gary that's exactly why you are a rock star my friend. You should jump ship and come to our team. We lost a man due to a couple peoples attitudes on the team towards them.

We should get Rod and Rex to play a little doubles.
 
LOL Brad I drove by some kids this morning and I thought to myself, this must really suck for them. One of them did hit my car with a snow ball while I was driving a whopping 15 mph, I thought about stopping but there were 4 of them, they looked quick, and they all had snow balls...nothing worse than getting that ass whooped by 12 year olds at 8 AM.

I think if I don't shovel the snow will just go away, is that a good assumption??
 
Ignoring it works until the plow goes by a couple of times and you get stuck halfway in your driveway. If anything just shovel the first 3 feet, after that you'll probably be sick of moving the packed down sh*t that you wont want to do the rest.
 
In May, it'll be gone.

LOL, work is closing at 3:30 so I have time to go home and get this virus off of my computer. Looks like a long night of Madden is in my future!

How much for someone to clear off my driveway for me? Somebody has to be close to Urbandale.

Jason did you just volunteer?

I got someone bringing me some equipment to handle my business. In fact the goods are at the house now. I'm gonna do it and like it. I'll be chain smoking my cigs the entire time and cursing until I run out of words.

LOL people are already taking off for the day.

HA! I can see you now...... Face down in a snow bank after a heart attack... Lol

On another note, if anyone on here gets stuck in a ditch....just call me. For $50 I will pull you out! Lol

Des Moines might be a bit far west but I was wondering if any of you ever played/know a couple of characters that ranged into Iowa several years back... Mike Bandy and/or Mark Wilson? Both classy players.
 
Uh....come again?

Mark Smith quit. I will say he was one of the best team mates you could find. He has an APA team that is also on the hunt for a Masters spot. He drove Paul there. Played each and every time someone wanted to sit out. Really cared about the team. Then last week....

That's probably as much as I care to elaborate on that.
