Why So Serious...Seriously?

I've just got back from a match that has been in the making for the last 6 weeks. I'm not going to name names but the guy and myself have "history".
Last time we played I won, just. Game was 9 ball and I strung a 5 pack together to leave him sitting on the hill wondering wtf just happened. He refused to shake my hand and starts shouting at me about how I should stick to playing snooker. All I could do was laugh, which added fuel to the fire.

So that's the history lesson covered, now onto tonights shenanigans. Game is 9 ball race to 19. I bring along 5 buddies and my girlfriend. I rock up in some nice snooker attire. Shiney pointy black shoes, black pants, white shirt, black waistcoat and a black dickie bow tie. I knew it would get to him, hence why I did it. My girlfriend walks in dressed as Michaela Tabb, and my 5 buddies dressed as John Virgo, Judd Trump, John Parrot, Steven Hendry and Alex Higgins. As soon as we walk in the guy spots us and I notice he starts unscrewing his cue meanwhile his buddies are trying not to laugh.

I walked over to shake his hand and ask if anyone wanted a beer and again he refuses the hand shake. He says calmly enough he isn't playing me. Stunned I walk to the bar to get a round of beers in. All I can hear is him screaming...literally at his friends about how he isn't going to play whilst were dressed like clowns. I go back into where all the tables are, and he's gone. He should have come dressed as Harry Houdini because I'm sure the only exit in this place was right next to where I was standing. One of his buddies comes over and says he's sorry but the match won't be going ahead. I couldn't believe it.

Why take life and this game so serious...seriously?

For a guy that considers himself to be at a pro level, and is "soon" to be going pro because OB have decided to sponsor him, I thought me dressed in a vest and dickie bow would be good practice for him. Oops.
 
Funny story. Way to keep things light. I would have thought the approach you took may have broken the tension, guess we can't assume everyone has a sense of humor.
 
Best story I've read in a while... If I ever find myself as part of a grudge match, I would sport that attire from head to toe!
 
great story

If you and your friends were all in the garb you described, you definitely had an edge concerning the psychology game..... I too, like your style and sense of humour.......I'm not so sure I woulda played you either, even if I thought I was a better shooter.....Rock on!
 
And here I have always thought that the English had a great sense of Humor. warped a bit at times but great just the same. They have always been able to buck up and even have a joke in the face of adversity.

Maybe thats where I get my warpage from sometimes.

Anyway, not such as great start in the Pro World with a sponsor such as OB. he may have to learn to roll and grow a bit thicker skin.

Myself, I would have had a laugh and complimented you and the gang on the attire, had more than a few beer with you and played.

But then, I never turn down cold beer and a few games. Do they have wings there or Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash perhaps?

Ya know, I have never been to Jolly Old England and thru a relative, have been in contact with a person in England. It appears that all the long lost ones aren't that long and lost after all.

It will definitely be on the Bucket List. But, I have to know one thing, Not all of you drink warm beer do you.

I mean, you do have fridges and such right. Some beer is cold, yes?

Haha! No I'm not. As a general rule of mine I wear shoes in public places.

Like I said I'm not here to name names. I doubt he is a member here, and I doubt he even ghost reads here but people will know him on here I'm sure of it.

What's a fridge?

What's this "cold beer" you speak of?

You Americans sure are strange ;)

On a side note...if the pool hall served fish and chips with plenty of salt and vinegar I'd never leave!
 
I'm Canadian, but still strange.

I had Fish and Chips last night. Fresh caught Wall Eye and Pike. Beer batter. Thin slices of potato pan fried with onions.

Maybe not as good as a big ole piece of battered Cod but pretty tasty just the same.

Over here in the colonies we have learned to make sure the money is posted before a big match. ;)

But seriously, I'm guessing that the outfit would have hampered your play. You might have had to cut the toes of the shoes off halfway through. Michaela could have painted your toenails festive colors during the intervals.

We need video.
 
Lmao....still have tears im my eyes........so great.
