Looping double could be tough. I'd stand there on the first tee, watch one hit it left and the other to the right, and just slump knowing it was gonna be a loooooong day.

Hmmm, perhaps it was morality that ruined the internet????? In fact, I thought that Al Gore invented the internet in order to more effectively distribute porn...
Friday night we would all tell our parents we were sleeping over at someones house, stay up all night riding our Schwinn Stingrays around, hit the golf course around 3 or 4 am, break into the golf cart shack and snack bar, then terrorize the course.
Caddy all day on Saturday, and do it again on Sunday.
At 60, I have one all-nighter and I'm down for 3-days..:smile:
Like last Thursday night, no I won't get into that...

Yes, monkey bars and a banana seat.
I had a black sparkle tuck & roll banana seat.
Midnight, are you kidding?
I won't get into the gory details, but I'm dating again, so you guys do not want to mess with me right now.
I'm playing Friday night APA at the Holiday Bowl (where we used to go looking for fights in the 60's).
Great place to meet women.
I was talking to our new SL2 and said "baby you look like a 4 to me", and of course I got her phone number.
Revitalized APA player.

Some people take this forum way to serious. When people take the forum too serious, they need to take a step back and remember what it is. I've met many from this forum in person... but maybe less than 20 I talk to in my daily life. Give or take. But for the most part, most of these fools could just be talking bots for all I know.
Our PR department at work has had its fair share of melt downs via twitter from our athletes, responding to clowns and getting themselves in trouble. They explained to us the 90-9-1 rule which seems to apply to AZ billiards as well. 90% of people az, don't even post or rarely post. 9% are good posters that have something to contribute and 1% are trolls trying to stir the pot. But the 1% can make up a lot of posts and make it look like it's more than it actually is... but it's just a few clowns.

I don't know what is considered a high or low point for the forum anymore.
Different people use it for different things.
If someone comes on here just looking to talk, buy, and sell cues... maybe that's totally unaffected by the recent drama. Maybe to those people the forum's just fine.
Some may actually see this as a high point, because drama threads are much more entertaining to read than "which chalk is best" threads. They may have been dying to see Jam ragequit, or see Wilson get into it with Barton.
I personally loved "how would you play this" diagrams. To me, the forum took a big downturn when wei blocked AZ's ability to embed cuetable diagrams around April of 2012. I come on for nuggets on how to improve my game, whether it's kicking systems or new ways to solve an awkward layout. Posts about that sort of thing have almost entirely dried up, so now the forum is mostly just a way to kill time.

I am another one that was 12 in 1964. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. Not sure if that is exactly when I had a paper route. I do remember trudging through the snow always on the lookout for moose!
I also remember having to go door to door each month collecting the money for the month. Not sure how much I made, but do know that I counted on tips.

But you are a pool gambler, and you pool gamblers have a much different take on the subject... Just sayin.

You may be right,,,,,,,,,
great post
Just watch some of the youtube videos taken from people's phones of the DCC the past couple of years. Watch with an open mind and you will think - this is pool?
As long as people make excuses for it like they have in this thread, it will continue to fester and grow, like rats in the ghetto.

I noticed the same thing a couple of years ago watching the streams from DCC.
It seemed unusual, almost like they were playing for the camera.
They weren't woofing they were screaming & yelling, throwing thousands on the table in front of the cam, pushing & shoving, I'm surprised that somebody didn't get knocked out.
Well said Jay
