You … You … You Clot-Faced Wet!

[sunnyone]

Dear Gentle Readers,

Oh boy! The Senior Soirée in Houston is about to ascend upon us. One-pocket!

My wish is that the stream will include a chat room. For curses.

As many of you do, I like to root for one player or the other when I’m watching a match, either live or streamed. Efren, my sweet baboo, always. Another favorite is Alex.

But even when it’s two players I don’t know, I can figure out which one to cheer for based on attitude or attire or hairstyle … something.

And, once I start pulling for my guy, or my gal, I become incensed when his opponent makes, say, a viciously brutal safety. I want to hurl imprecations and accusations into the chat room.

“You heartless cad!”

“Big meanie!”

“Savage!”

And the like.

Chatting is my life,

Sunny

P. S. I no longer sling the F-bomb. Well, not that often. Only when unavoidable. Or when it feels right.

A stream you say?

Hmm …

Some of you felons may have lamped my phrase ‘clot-faced wet’ at the start of this thread.

I believed I had ‘borrowed’ the term from Roald Dahl some time ago, but couldn’t remember for sure. So I asked Dr. Google.

Yesterday the first reference to the expression was this AZ site. Today it’s one-pocket.org.

No reference to the esteemed Mr. Dahl.

Either I mangled my plagiarism or I accidentally invented a pejorative that tops a Google page. (For the hordes of folks who search for clot-faced wet.)

Thanks for the write up, dude. Interesting insight.

Don't you mean a wet-faced clot? We hear that expression quite often, here in the Ozarks. Clot actually refers to clod, a person who tills the soil. A wet-faced clot would then become a farmer standing out in the rain.
But, Mr. Henderson doesn't have a farm. :smile:

Is there any info available regarding a stream of this event?

If Hendy doesn't have a farm...
...how come people say he's outstanding in his field?
