You can bring your dog over and it can play with dog that night.

You mean my dogs...two...little ones about 13 and 14 lbs. I have a feeling whatever dog you have would eat them alive. Mike and I can do our drinking game on another night that I can stay out decently late.

I might have just had the funniest 40 minute conversation about pool in the world. Talked about everything from commentating, pool tables, pool balls, good pool lights, cues, almost all games, gambling, and how a Diamond ball polisher can bring world peace. I got some good perspective and reaffirmed that as far as production cues go, Predators are the nuts. At the moment I do feel pretty good about pool.

With that said, I still quit. I care about the game and it's promotion. I always have. After I finish making this money doing what I do I will probably spend my last 35 to 40 years involved in the game. I'm gonna lighten up some and look for that thing that made me want to buy my first stick, buy my first table, play every league and tournament I could get into, basically just find the love of the game again. That's what I'm on now.

Go Vegas!

Sorry Spimp I'm gonna have to pull up on the drinking game. Since I'm backing out I'll pay your tab next time I see you. I'm focused.

Are you bi-polar? :thumbup: Glad to see you take a positive approach to getting back to playing pool. As soon as I get my cue I hope to start playing more seriously (while still having fun of course). Gotta enjoy it while we can!

No I just talked to someone I have a lot of respect for and he has a mutual respect for me. He's also selling me a 9' Diamond for the low low. With a light. He also reminded me of some things that I lost sight of. When I'm not underground anymore though that means I'm back to normal. That's all I care to say about that.

Naw...been years since I have toked it up. I thought I had a dogsitter for Saturday but no dice so we will have to postpone our pool drinking game until further notice.

Damn, I have heard some lame excuses in my life(and even used some!), but no dog sitter? come on !!!

"I thought I had a dogsitter for saturday but no dice" translates into ------> I AM SCARED TO PLAY YOU FOR DRINKS !!!! :poke:

Lol, well Bradley...can I call you Bradley??...considering these are very young dogs and this is the first time they will have experienced the chica gone for more then 1 day, I am trying to prevent having to clean up sh*t in the house because I was gone out all afternoon/night and that is assuming I don't get arrested for drinking and driving on the way home!! In case you have no idea what I am talking about ask around about the .08 law with me and when it got first implemented in the state of Iowa son! Yes I could get a ride home but I am assuming Mike wanted to play in Stix in Ankeny so that is a hare of a drive from WDM. Secondly Mike and I were going to have a fun night of playing for drinks, nothing serious which translates to a $50-100 night tops (assuming one buys the other a sympathy drink or shot occasionally) so there is no shivering going on my end...so ease up on the poking...I am fragile :eek:

Brad I actually got scared and figured it was better to quit before he had to beat me into a coma over some Bazooka Joes and Goose and Redbulls. I understand the young puppy situation too. I've been there and I have a small dog(Yorkie) myself so I know the deal.

Pet is coming for you buddy, and I'm gonna tell him to side bet you drinks lol. That way you can tell us how your drinking/gambling match turns out. I wanna live through you my new friend. Help a brotha out!!

It's official Tom M. and Jeff S. will not be visiting DSM this weekend due to no posted action. He wants to come in July sometime, so let's see if we can do better in a couple months. He didn't woof and isn't upset/mad in the slightest bit. He was a perfect gentleman. At least he tried right...

You can't quit comming to the pool hall Mikey. What will happen to the action without you and your stir straw? It will be back to just me playing cheap one hole and people playing $50 sets on a box.

We need you.

Its pretty tough for world-beaters to get a even game in DM now that ActionZilla has left the building, not saying it would be any different here in CR.....It's just that most people are scared of people who will drive 8hrs just to bang them around for "cheap $500-$1000 sets".

Sittin in the airport right now with 1hr till my flight shows up and bored as hell.......
