Thought this would be interesting. What is the best lines that you've heard while in the pool halls, from movies etc. That's stuck with you that you think is pretty cool. Maybe something that some old road men, legends etc used to say.
Here is one i heard from a friend of mine thats an old road man. I was playing him bank pool and i fired about 3 in real quick. He said its like driving nails in a coffin baby. I thought that was cool.

I once heard a guy say dead straight faced that he hated watching Ralf Souquet and Johnny Archer play. Although fearing the response I asked him why this was. He did not disappoint me, he said "they're just so boring and technical" lol.
 
Well, this one comes from the poolroom better known as my father's basement. In a matchup over the glorious green felt, I made an extremely diffcult shot that obviously shocked him. His comment was "Well, even a broken clock is correct twice a day." I've used that line many times since.

I was told that "Even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then".

The same guy told me "If you scratch, you lose the match", "If you're stretchin', you'll hit it like Gretchen", and last but not least, "You can't afford to lose your Ford Focus (talking about focus)...cause those things are expensive!

Yes, this guy was completely insane, but he could play any game at a championship level....
 
Lol

My husband sometimes gets in my line and stares at me with his eyes wide open, like a stare almost. Its always get me laughing, LOL
Then he says, "Cmon, theres no giggling in 9 ball!!!!! " (of course, he never does this in a tourney, only when Im practicing or gambling for small money.) And then I cant stop giggling. Ya know, that uncontrollable giggle you can not get rid of. Then Im done usually. Hmmm, I just had a thought. I see a trend now. LOL He does this when he wants to go home.:D
He is such a sweetie!!!!!:cool:

When playing with friends !

I use to always like to rib my friends if we just started a match or something at the local tourneys if they ran out the 1st game I'd tell em "you know a dog that shit's fast don't shit long"
 
Even a blind dog gets a bone every once in a while.....

My favorite one came from Bobby Hunter a year or two ago though.
We were watching a guy try an almost impossible shot, drilling a ball into the corner and trying to spin it to catch a ball by the other side rail to put it into the side. He must have missed it 30-40 times in a row...(persistant though, and getting pretty close sometimes)
He finally gets frustrated jumps up and asks everyone why the heck it won't work.
Bobby was in a game on the next table, turns his head with this deadpan look and says "shot don't go", and went back to watching his opponent.
Been laughing over that statement ever since!lol
 
This is not really a saying, but there is a guy that plays at my local room. He plays in a wheelchair and plays pretty sporty I might add. He always plays the tournaments and leagues and so on.

Anytime his opponent looks at a shot too long, especially when they are the stronger local players, he always asked them if they would like to forfeit. Makes me laugh every time.
 
My ex boyfriend told me this years ago after I lost in a tournament, "There's no crying in billiards".
 
Saw this on the Turning Stone Stream chat, a player was practicing before the match, and some said

"this guy has more drills than Makita"
 
My buddy JimmyRayK at the DCC while watching a bank match where this guy had 3 coins on the table for scratches, and almost scratched again...

"This guy is going to need change for a dollar!"

And on chat during the Turning Stone Fri night...

"Johnny Archer is so slow it takes him 2 hours to watch 60 minutes."
 
1. "I couild'nt get a roll in a pastry shop"
2. "this guy's got more rolls than a pastry shop"
3. "I can't bust a grape today"
4. "I could'nt make a ball in the ocean"
5. "This guy's got more moves than a chinese checkerboard"
 
sayings

A friend of mine, Jr. Brown, was playing one day with an opponent, and the opponent was starting to go up to the bar, He told Jr. to "go ahead', Jr. looked at him sternly, and said, "Did you just call me a goat head?".

Everyone smiled because they knew Jr.
 
Guy can draw better with a cue ball than most people can with a pencil.

Guy at the table waiting for his team to jump up and start coaching, backs off three feet and starts sucking on his thumb (like a little kid).
