Aw, shucks. I hope we meet someday too. I can tell you're a real gentleman, a rarity in today's pool world.
You and I have actually spoken on the phone. I couldn't get over how much you sound just like Liljon with that sweet Southern accent. I'm a sucker for a Southern drawl. Love it! :smiling-heart:
I have met dannyb, though he may not remember me. I've seen him in many a tournament in my area. He's always been serious about pool, whether in a tournament or gambling setting. I'd say he's good pool peeps.
Terry Ardeno, I did meet one time at SBE, but it was brief. I have communicated with him several times offline via phone and PMs. He's a very kind man, generous, and is very passionate about the history of pool. We could use a few more just like him in this pool world, I tell you.
Johnnyt, he'd definitely be on my list too. I know he's got pool running in his blood, just like we all do, and I'd really enjoy hanging out with him on the rail and sweat a few matches. I think it would be fun!
I'd like to meet Corvette, just to give him a hug. I think we'd share a few laughs in our conversation. :grin:
I want to meet Lind. I know I may never have that opportunity, but I just want to.
I definitely would like to meet Mr. Wilson someday. He doesn't live too far from me. Out of all the AzB-ers, he's top on my list to meet. I like a man who goes against the current for what he believes is right. It's a tough job being moderator of a pool forum. I don't know how he does it -- for free, no less. :smile:
Without naming names, there is one member of this forum I would enjoy meeting in person, up front and close, so I let them know my thoughts about some topics. I haven't been able to write my true thoughts on this forum, and so having the opportunity to say them to his/her face will allow me to tell it like it is and put a few things to rest that have been stuck in my craw, as I read their one-sided words based on no foundation whatsoever. Those who laugh last will laugh best, and I can't wait to enjoy laughing at this creep when the curtain falls. This megalomaniac continues to exist in his/her self-absorbed little fantasy world. :angry:
Believe it or not, I have met quite a few AzB-ers on the tournament trail in the past, and I hope to get back on this trail soon and meet a few more. It's fun to put a face to the name. I'd love to pick a lobster with Justadub, wolf down a few crawfish with Shooting Arts and JoeyA. Why does everything surround food?! :embarrassed2:
I'd enjoy hanging out with Sfleinin and discuss punctuation topics.
Oh, how I would enjoy getting to know the AnitoKid. What a breath of fresh air he is, and I kid you not!
Though not a member here anymore, I always thought that meeting Drivermaker would be cool. He's got a creative mind. I recognize he's got a strong intelligence quota. His creativity and sense of humor have tickled my funny bone more than once, though it's been a long while since I have read him. I think he'd be a hoot to hang out with for an evening of pool!
I admire a woman who stands by her man and does it with style. Sunnyday is like a ray of sunshine on AzBilliards. I would love to meet her.
Blackjack would definitely be someone I'd love to chat with at length. He is so passionate about pool, but first and foremost, he's just such a nice person. I admire him a lot from afar for sure. He's also cute!
One of the most misunderstood members is Smokey. I would just like to shake his hand and let him know how much I appreciate his contributions to this forum. This is a first-class gentleman in so many ways.
PT109, Rayjay, Bluehog Rider, Mojoe, Sev, LWW, Maniac, Jason, Manwon, each one of these guys are special, and I never hesitate to read anything they write.
Cuejoey and JimS, two Azb-ERS who go out of their way to make positive contributions to this forum do not go unnoticed by me. Both of them are an asset to this forum!
I can't forget C.Milian. She's quite special and someone who I have to put on my list to meet someday.
Freddy the Beard, so I can discuss offline a certain match between him and a mutual friend -- <wink> -- but most importantly, I know he's a good man. I like him.
I know I am forgetting some names that will come to me later.
Drivermaker and I talk on the phone and email each other regularly. He said to tell you the feeling is mutual and he'd love spending an evening together. He'll always be grateful to you for the picture you sent of Keith shooting at the table and it hangs proudly on his Wall of Fame of his pool room at home.
