Who Really Cares why Fatboy Left
- Thread starter manwon
- Start date
Was it only a month ago that he was given a godlike status for the whole Bucktooth deal?
Did everybody think the whole thing was hilarious?
Of course!
But whatever soap opera's are going and rolling through here seem to be sending more and more people into hiding.
Well, maybe not hiding, but there are apparently less people running through here now than there used to be.
It used to be alot more fun in here, without all the flaming, name calling, smearing that most of us still find fairly amusing, but what is happening to AZ?
If Fatboy wants to leave that's up to him, just like any of us that apparently have no more life than to hang around searching threads.
There are alot of goodguys on here as well as some that are obviously not in the same class.
Regardless, this should still be a fun environment, that for the most part is still centered around the main reason we are here.
There are some absolute geniuses around here at tracking down mystery cues, parts, information, you name it.
That's what brought me here to begin with.
With the commonwealth of knowledge that is pooled here, you'd think this is the center of the Billiards Universe, where you can learn about anything involving pool/billiards.
But I'm seeing a fairly regular amount of woofing (who cares), bragging (goes with the territory), cliques(there's a gathering of humans-DUH) and general beratement of newcomers that may actually just want to learn something.

I checked out your website, your English is decidedly better than my Austrian or French or Spanish or ... I did figure out "foto" however.

The Sheriff must now be elected by popular vote and multiple identity votes will be allowed in keeping with AZ tradition.
JoeyA
This is easier than 2+3=1
Doug, the highest rated member, is our "Grand Poo-pah" or whatever other ceremonial name we can bestow upon our "much beloved & highly respected" "King". He's like the Queen of England
D )in that although she is atop the throne, she's not really running the country. And Doug, perched atop our AZB throne, as far as I know, does not gamble high when playing pool. So I say, skip down to....Jay Helfert, who is the number 2 highest rated member on AZB
Joey, you're up to the #3 highest rated member on AZB.
Here's my idea. I don't know if either of you two ever thought about this or not, but why don't YOU GUYS play a set or better yet, an all-around DCC type match up & the winner will be our newest SHERIFF!
Think about this and mull it over. Maybe you two can even get in touch with each other and start some preliminary negotiating.
) )I for one must say this would be one scintillating match up!

But of course.
As a matter of fact, since Smorgie is our highest rated member, he should be like our congressman and represent the needs & wants of his peeps.
And we needs and wants Jay & Joey to, as Michael Buffer would say, "Let's get it on!"
So, Doug should be like our Don King and be the "promoter" of this juicy fantasy match up and take the onus for getting the conditionals acceptable for each player.
Since we the people are looking for a new "sheriff", we should also expect King Smorgie to help make this happen. Remember, to who much has been given, much will be required!
Not putting the 8 ball ahead of the 9 ball, but I also think that the winner should have to next face Blackjack David Sapolis for their 1st title defence.
Doug, remember, we're counting on you here. Don't be like Marie Antoinette when she heard the needs and wants of her people and she simply replied "Let them eat cake!" Her head soon rolled around after that comment like a Larry Nevel cue ball after his power break!

I nominate Joey for Deputy Sheriff. You know the Barney Fife role where he carries a gun and only one bullet. But he can only load it with permission from the Sheriff.
I'm trying my best to stir the pot...
Jay,
Why just last night, I had a dream that I was walking past Buffalo Billiards and when I looked inside, JoeyA was stuffing more quarters in the juke box.
Sounded something like this.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10qLYy6hiFQ

Still stirring....
Jay,
Anyway, I woke up & went back to sleep. And then I had another weird dream. I dreamed I was in your basement eating a cheese burger & drinking a chocolate shake while I was watching you dril bank after bank after bank. But it was hard to concentrate, because of the video you had in the VCR.
If I remember right, it went something like this..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze4MqlLO7LM..

It is what it is...
Like most forums, we are all just a microcosm of society. We have knowledge, attitude, paranoia, respect, debauchery, theft and many other things that I can't spell or define! On top of that, we are expected to decipher written words without the help of audible inflection, to even know if we are being complimented or insulted. At times, Fatboy's bravado was over the top. Other times he would relate interesting information that was pertinent to the forum. Aside from the criminal element, I hate to see anybody go into personal exile here! Most of us came here seeking information and opinion, but hey, what's wrong with a little fun? Everybody has somebody they love to hate!
