Who Should Get A "Pro Player" Banner?

'The Master Game' - wait til the world here's the "buzz".

Actually CJ. My late Father kept Honey Bees for years.

Honey won't flow from the comb unless you use an Extractor. Which makes the Honey flow from the centrifugal force.

Then you have to strain the wax and Bee Parts from the Honey with fine cheese cloth.
That was Mom's job. My job was to try and keep from getting my butt stung 40 times a day. My Father loved the little buggers more than I did and never wore a veil or gloves. Dad never pulled the stingers out and waited until he came in and Mom had to give him a once over.

I just never learned to not stand in front of a Hive and stay outta their way when coming in with a load. The Guard Bees and myself had this war going on.

Did you know that Honey is one of our foods that will keep indefinitely. Soy Sauce is another.

Bees hold the entire ecosystem together here in Texas. That's why I made that comparison to the Game.....'The Master Game' - wait til the world here's the "buzz".

I think that anyone who wants a "pro-player" banner should meet several requirements.

1. Post at least 7-10 inane threads per week that only the true sycophants will respond to.

2. Bump all of those threads and others you're interested in (two-foul 9 ball for example) at least 20-30 times per day.

3. Act as if you don't have a clue in the world why young people could read your threads and posts and not want to be a poolplayer.

That's about it.

I will give you a hint CJ. All over the entire World. Just not in Texas. The chemical companies are currently wiping out the Bee population.

Without Bees, the World will starve. Well, unless you want to become a strict carnivore. And even then, probably not as Bees cross pollinate plants that some animals eat to survive.

Bees and honey have zero to do with pool. Not even a good analogy.

How about restricting it to people who currently compete as pros and who post here presently with a 100 post minimum? Actually, there aren't that many.

Yeah...I know I am late to the game (this thread being the game), but there's got to be some standards.

Next thing you know, a one time State Champ will want one.

Listen... Listen to what I’m saying to you! Being a AZ Billiards Pro means you have to Always Be Winning... ALWAYS BE WINNING!

I recently overheard a conversation from two AZB “Pro Players”, and here it is, uncut:

Pro A: Bunch of nonsense huh?
Pro B: I can’t beat these keyboard cowboys…

Pro A: Nobody can beat them…
Pro B: And these tournaments are old…

Pro A: There ancient… A bunch of nonsense…
Pro B: Sometimes... I just ya know… I wonder if I belong in this sport…

Pro A: Backers... send a pro out there, no support, no confidence…
Pro B: Then I say, NOBODY can beat them… Then I look at Shane…

Pro A: Shane… F Shane… Had a freak, ya know a little run of luck… The tournaments are garbage...
Pro B: Then I say… Then I say… Why give him the good invitationals? He doesn’t need them…

Pro A: You going on the road?
Pro B: Yeah… I have to… I have to go out… Agh… I can’t do an exhibition…

Pro A: You tried?
Pro B: Yeah… There’s something wrong with me… I tried… I just can’t do that Massey power draw shot…

Pro A: Get your coat on, you’re going out with me...
Pro B: I try… I try… I can’t do that shot…


The two AZB pros continue talking while walking out into the rain to get in their car and set out for the road.


Pro B: Life…I swear to god, you practice 14 hours a day….
Pro A: Forget it!
Pro B: Shane… So on… So gifted…

Pro A: Gifted my A**… Guy gets a string of luck…
Pro B: No, no, no…

They are now driving down Main street at night, windshield wipers swinging back and forth in a futile effort to drive the rain away.

Pro A: Thing of it is, money is tight, times are tight, it don’t do no good for your backer to to throw this FUD around… Go out and win… You can threaten a player all you want, but you can’t whip a dead horse… All this garbage, win a ring game, get a Cadillac, you lose were going to drop your A**… It’s Medieval!
Pro B: Yes!

Pro A: It’s wrong
Pro B: Yes!

Pro A: Yes, it is. And you know whose responsible? You know who it is… It's Barry and Charlie… Cause it dont’ have to be this way...
Pro B: No!

Pro A: Look at Jeanette Lee… She’s clean… She’s in business for herself… She’s got that list, ya know, the APA sites… Ya see? Ya see? That’s thinking… Why take 30%? A 30% cut from a backer… Why are we giving the rest away!? Why are we giving 70% away? For noth’n… For some jerk to call us and say ‘Get out there and win’. Jeanette, she goes out there and buys… she pays top dollar for… ya see? For the APA sites… That’s think’n!
Pro B: I heard they were running cold?

Pro A: The APA sites?
Pro B: Yeah…

Pro A: No… You hear a lot of things, but she’s doing well. Very well… They got 250,000 members…
Pro B: With "The Equalizer" system?!?

Pro A: Equalizer… Tri-Cups… All that S***… Somebody told me, ya know what she's clearing herself? 14… 15 grand a week!
Pro B: Herself??

Pro A: That’s what I’m saying!

Lee has worked with many of the English pros listed, as well as other pros. he can step in & hit shots with his eyes shut.
 
If you have no idea what my post was about, then Hit The Bricks Pal ! and check out this scene from Glengarry Glen Ross, the terrific 1992 movie about the high pressure life of salesmen.
