I had a professor tell me one time:
You start out with your bachlers, abreviated BS...and we all know what that means.
Then we get our MS (More of the Same)
Then we get our PHD (Piled High and Deep)

From a college prefessor!!

it has been saod "that for every action in the universe, there is a equal and oppsite action somewhere else." Could that all be happening on the box Judy is rolling around on......
 
There is no doubt, The basic law of Physics is definately brought to life every time the cue-ball is struck by your cue-stick.

I asked what the cue-ball represented as it travels the table. It's the chicken and the egg thing. You're the egg, I'm the chicken- Fatboy

With a master's Degree when someone says something you say "That's interesting."

With a PhD when someone says something you say, "Hm Hm"

Those who can do.
Those who can't teach.
Those who can't teach, teach teachers. Definition of a professor.
 
Liberal atheistic professor says to the class. “If there is a God he should come and punch me in the face. There is no God and it will not happen. I’ll give him 15 minutes. I am here and I am waiting.”

Students sit in silence looking at this man of knowledge. About 13 minutes later a Marine gets up from his seat in the back of the room and walks up and lands a punch that knocks the professor out. When he come to the Prof says, “Why did you do that.”

God is busy over in Iraq taking care of our guys, so he sent me in his place.
 
for a lot of years

For a lot of years the cue ball moving around the table just represented the easiest way I knew how to make money. I spent weeks hammering together the biggest land based oil rig in the world years ago, literally! Day after day of swinging a 12 to 20 pound sledge hammer for a twelve hour shift driving the pins that held it together. The board road back to the oil rig came out on old hwy 61 almost across the road from an old bar with a table or two, the H&H Club. Some nights I made more money swinging a 20oz cue in that old bar than I had made swinging a 20 pound sledge hammer all day. There seemed to be a lesson in that!

The addition of a couple of commas should make for easier reading. :thumbup:

BTW, wierd lookin' commas. :rolleyes:
 
To me, the cue ball represents the eyes of the table. You can only see from that spot on the table. You can control where it goes, but once it stops, you can only see from that spot.
In 1 pocket you want to keep you opponents vision to a minimum. ;)
 
The cue ball represents "The Man". He sits above all the other balls, gloating about how he is so special. If the numbered balls, "blue collar" folks, start getting uppity, my cue balls smashes them and puts them in a hole until they are docile again.

Pool is a very political game :(
 
It's just a tool to do a job. Nothing more and nothing less. I have witnessed beneficiaries of Affirmative Action express their disdain with the status quo by using the 8 ball as the cue.

We teach best what we most need to learn.
 
For me, the cue ball is lost, the patterns set up by the other balls are the maze the cue ball must go through in order to reach the goal. The object balls are sometimes like keys to doors, you must make the balls, get the key, in order to proceed to the next ball. When playing 9 ball, that 9 ball is the goal.

Okay, Blacktea. Not bad for your first post, but what about One Pocket?

Oh yeah. Welcome to the forum. :smile:
