Update on the Des Moines pool scene


AMEN to that brother!!!!!!


My lawn mower just broke and I need to either get it fixed or buy a new one, Where's Rod when ya need some extra cash???? :duck:

I'll mow your lawn if you'll fix my roof. I think that's a fair trade.:clapping:
 
I think we have the best Thursday team though so happy to find out we have more teams:thumbup:. Does that equal more money though?

IF YOU WIN it might. Otherwise, you just have a team with some good players on it.....

Less teams = less payout

The only way it might work out in your favor is if you got 4th or 5th in a 18 team league and got lets say $200. Where as if you get 1st or 2nd in a 10 team league, your payout might be 300-350.

But really, do you play for the payout at the end of the year? Or do you play for the camaraderie and the competition and the strive to get better? Never mind, I know the answer.......:nono::nono::nono:

You mean there is payout? Huh, I never got any payout from my team....:scratchhead:

Or, maybe we just didn't get any......?

Cough, Cough.:rotflmao1:

It was a bad year last year... Taxes, IRS, Roth, NASDAQ, S&P 500, league payouts. All in the tank.

I'm getting my "brand new Edgar suit" out and hitting the town tonight. Can't believe I have never made it to the square one! A new bar every week -- that's what I like about league.

So Tammie looked at the text you sent. She didn't tell me about it until last night. I will get something done for you.
 
Keep it current will be the biggest chore and biggest mark of a good site. JMO

Best of luck --

Everyone -- Bruce is holding my dog hostage until I write something nice for his website. Please don't think this was unsolicited. He peed in my azalea bushes too.:bash: Just cause he can.

All kidding aside - he is the best,IMO:wave:

You know how we roll, WE GOT OURS!!! We chopped you up! That was our plan from the start! We all needed an extra 7 or 8 bucks!

TBO I had it and hadnt seen you for a while and forgot about it. Remind me next time I see you please.
 
Anyone know how I can get ahold of a snooker table for an exhibition?? Maybe more of a specialized challenge match. :-) It'd be infront of a guaranteed 1800+ people...

For fun and frivolity mostly (The exhibition), but didn't know if Big Dogs had theirs in the back room or not....

What do you think it would cost to set up a table for an exhibition??

Anyway...

Jerome Anderson might have one he'd let you use.

He'll be at my house in an hour...I'll ask him.

Any news Jeff? No worries either way - I just thought it would be a fun little project. Out of the ordinary... :dance:

It's official - No more hanging out with Brad when it rains...:help:

Wonder if they got home in time to see the sun rise. :thud: I will say that Friday is easier to tough out than the same circumstances on TUESDAY. :grin-angelic:

Sorry, I didn't get back here yesterday...

Jerome does not have snooker table. He's got two nice, refurbished, pre-1900 Brunswicks that he wants to sell.

Would that do?

If you know Jerry McGrath in Urbandale (he used to play at McCoys a lot), he has had a snooker table dismantled at his house for a long time. It might still exist. Also, Steve Cover (played out of Smokeys and lives close to there) has a garage full of tables...maybe a snooker?

What fun project are you attempting, if you don't mind telling us?

10 ball?

Is anyone coming out to Big Dogs tonight for the tournament? I'm sure I will play, but I would rather play some 1pkt or straight pool....:happydance:

DSM is getting kind of boring now that Mikey isn't staking people. Is there anyway to stir up a hornets nest an wake everyone up again?:slap:
