I know Ralph very well and I can totally picture him, in that dry sense of humor tone, with no smile say that lol, he is pretty funny.BHQ said:
One of the funniest thing i ever heard came from Jonathon Pinegar. He was playing Al Lapena a bank pool match 3 years ago, upstairs at the Executive West, and me and my buddies were sitting watching. Al was winning early on and you could see Hennesee starting to get a little rattled (imagine that), when Al missed and took the chalk from the table with him back to his seat. Pinegar just stood there and moment and said, in completely deadpan, "you aint gonna miscue while i'm shooting bud" with his hand out reaching for the chalk. My friends and i absolutely lost it

A few of my other Favs are when (you gotta know my brother) hits a bank for no reason 10,000MPH and it rattles, i say "it rolled off".
When my friends and i play bank and miss an easy one and leave the other in the patch to get 4 or 5 we say "You should be fine here" <<<-----incoming player says that to the guy who just sold the farm.

quote
I was watching guys playing one pocket, gambling, lots of sweaters. one guy makes a bank cross corner, CB goes three rails and back by his opponents pocket and tics a cluster loose, for an easy out. He looks at the sweaters and says " dont try this at home, it was done by a professional driver on a closed course."

Are you sure????

A league of their own, "Theres no giggling in 9 ball"????? I dont remember this line in the movie.
Hmmm, are you sure my hubbys quote was in this movie??
The actual quote is "Theres no crying in baseball".
Just sayin.

Standing out in front of the pool room one night we are looking at a Ferrari parked there. Mike Ives walks by and stops to look at the car and comments,
"That cars no good, you can't even sleep in it".
Another was in the Congress pool room in Miami. Mike Carella (sp?) asks a top player in town to make a game. The guy looks at him and says, " I was about to but I was afraid you might say yes".

My cousin is kinda like Yogi Beara of pool. His remarks gets quoted and misquoted to almost legend status.
Some of his standards.
"I finished one out of the money" - Meaning he didnt win any money and probably went 2 and out in a double elimination tourney.
"Twiced" - It is the past tense of twice. As in, "You hit that cue ball twiced"
"You saw it, you were there!" - Usually asked of the crowd about a occurance possible 10 years ago, that nobody remembers and more than likely never happened, and definately never happened as he is explaining....
"Two way!" also known as a "Mark Strain Two Way" - An easy shot that he missed, and by some incredible strike of luck the cueball somehow got safe leaving no shot for his opponent. He can then preceed to pretend he intended it that way....

Dany D. about Efren playing 1 pocket " he beats you and makes you like it"
A few other Danny D's, "He hates his money" "He'll be sleeping in the streets"
I've always liked, "Hit um High Let um Fly" stole that from a guy named J.D. who just finished 5th/6th at the CSI nationals.
When I first started playing pool I thought Hill/Hill was the stupidest saying I ever heard in sports, but I have growen to like it, its real good in a race to like 15.
In life it would be nice if everybody could simply, "SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND DO WHAT YOU SAY". scemes thats to much to ask these days..

Oh heres another one.
Another guy i shot with loved to call the cue ball whitey. He never missed a kick shot you would have to freeze him to a ball or sometimes two to even think about getting ball in hand. When he would kick off a rail and hit the object ball he would say "way to go whitey smack him in the back of the head"

lol@thumbsucking!
In another thread like this someone had one like... (after missing the shot by 1 full diamond or more) "jesus these pockets are tight"
There's something I like to say whenever I get some horribly lucky crap shot with unintended kisses. Like say I am on the 3, I mean to shoot it straight in squeaking past 4 but it grazes the 4 instead, double kisses the CB, drops in the wrong pocket... meanwhile the CB goes 3 rails and the 4 rolls to a nice place a few inches from the side. I'll usually say something like "the hard part on that shot is getting the speed right on the 4 to get it to hang near the side."

Best lines I've heard.......er......read were from Off The Rail.
A girl with large breasts enters the room and someone says "I bet if she gets a chest cold it's worse than a giraffe with a sore throat."
My other favorite was a bald man in the room and someone says to him "Is that your head or is your neck trying to blow a bubble?"
MULLY
not exact quotes but close enough for government work

2....Local is playing a roadman an its early in the set an its his turn to shoot he turns to the peanut gallery an says. " If I run out from here hes a dead-stinkin fish"
I got quite an education in my younger years an it still haunts me till today.........

"Fool on the hill," What I thought to myself as I watched a player blow a six to one lead in a race to seven.
