You May be ADDICTED to Pool IF.............
- Thread starter FATS
- Start date
...your pajamas have cue balls on them.
If you are a member at more than one internet pool forum.
If your wife's greets every night with a somewhat disturbed look on her face and says...'Where is your match tonight'?
If your pool table in the basement is not covered with odds and ends.
If your VHS tape of 'The Hustler' had to be replaced more than one because of use.
If some parts of your left hand (right for south paws) is permanently blue.
If you think 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' is a song about a foul called because sweat dropped on the ball being shot over.
If you walk around the dinner table more than once before sitting down to eat.
If you think a lap dance is your 'Tom Cruise' type victory trip around the pool table.

... your term for male masturbation is “balls-in-hand”
... when someone racks their brains, you still complain about the rack
... you think "merchant banking" means a game of bank pool between two shopkeepers.
... you use shaft cleaner to wash your dick
... you give up posting in threads about deflection for lent
... you think Virginia Slims is a pool player
... you rented the movie "Earthquake" figuring it would be about Keith McCready
... you watched the TV show "The Rifleman" expecting to see Buddy Hall

When you make a decision to buy a house, the selling point is whether there is a poolroom near.
Any clothing purchase is always based on whether blue chalk will stain it.
You switch from leather soled shoes to rubber soled shoes.
Travelling 1000 miles for a tournament seems perfectly reasonable.
You sprain your hand trying out Buddy Hall's bridge.
You unconsciously start handicapping every sporting event you watch (yeah, Tiger can give Mickleson 6 on the wire....etc etc).

Or perhaps, as we did, "when you make a decision to buy a house, the selling point is whether there is a room large enough for YOUR pool table!!!" 
Everything thats round you look for the 30 degree cut contact point.
You actually consider buying a Sardo Tight Rack.
You put up with Mitch Laurences commentary on a televised match... and enjoy it.
The first web page you open when you get to work is the AZ Billiard forum.
You build your own Pool Table!!!

you drive by a hotel you wish the pool sign means pool table not swimming pool.
your left middle finger had to have surgery because it developed a trigger-finger from the spider bridge.
you skip a family gathering so you can go to a cheap tournament, "win" 37 dollars and go home with less money and still have a great day.
you know which table is best suited against any of your gambling opponents in your pool room.
you know which rack numbers of the pool hall's sets of balls are the best in shape.
you know which pockets are defective and which slates have rolls in all of the tables in your local room.

Oh geeze, am I in trouble. Every one of these, is me, what do I do. I'll submit one, your first born is coming into the world at 2am and you can't break out of the $100 a rack game to attend the event at the hospital because your 2 dimes up and the sausage now wants to go double or nothing.
Too close to home
This is a major point of discussion with my wife right now... We're shopping for houses and have discounted 4 or 5 already just due to no room for a table. I think it's starting to frustrate her a bit...

You almost have the idea, room for a 9' table and a full wet bar that seats 8.
The perfect house already has both installed.
RDD, you need therapy.ramdadingdong said:

When your looking at a plate of pea and u have not found a dead one to run out.
When u clean your cues more then your car..Or self..
Yup. Done that.JoeyInCali said:
You go up to the bar and get a beer and a roll of quarters.
You make yourself late for work because you had to go back and get your cue.
When you go on a long trip, you plan on buying clothes when you get there, because your cues take up half your baggage allowance. You select your hotel based on close proximity to a pool room.
...you go to bars alone just to watch the pool on satelite TV
...you look for cannon angles from one peice of furniture to another, including deflecting around the walls
...you can't wait to watch a pool match even with Chinese commentary
...you can't sleep some night from thinking about pool physics
...you have discussions with other addicts after games and you both remember every shot and the various options
...the first thing you do when you check out a new house to rent is step out the size of the largest room
...you rent out crap movies like Baltimore Bullet, Kiss Shot and Pool Hall Junkies

I keep looking for just what your referring to but am getting rather frustrated with how realtors describe houses... One with a wet bar was no more than a hole in the wall with kitchen cabinets and a small sink that was between the kitchen and living room....
