Greenbelt, '92?
Back around '92, I heard about a guy who liked to gamble a bit in a bar in Greenbelt (I think) Maryland.
I had a good description of him and when I walked in there was no mistaking who the fella was.
He was playing $10 8-ball and there were five quarters ahead of me on the rail of the coin-op. I added mine as he broke and ran out, and then ran five more for six in a row. When my turn came, he came up dry on the break and I proceeded to run five racks against him (the other players quit immediately).
After shooting in my fifth 8-ball, he began to take down his cue.
"Givin' up already?" I asked. "I just watched you run six racks!"
"Yeah," he responded, "but not the way you run them, - you're too damn good for me!"

I think mine was from Johnny Archer in 1992. He said "nice shot" when I was playing him. That isn't much but considering he was the world champion at the time it meant a lot to me.
