Long before you bother to make your flight or hotel plans you post on an internet forum:
"I'm traveling to [insert city here]. Are there any good rooms nearby?"
When your wife agrees that the next house that we get has to have enough room for the bar box that we already have and the big table that we are going to get.runmout said: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!!!"

I know I need therapy dude, the state cut the budjet and they tossed me out of my cot back on the street and stopped giving me free meds. The hustler movie keeps playing in my head and I can't stop it, what can I do, help...
Rama....I am such a ding dong.
- You plan to visit the local beach nearby a pool room. You pack every beach thing imaginable to a back pack and then on the last minute add your cue case, because the pool room is nearby and it would be nice to shoot a couple of racks after a nice day at the beach. You never open the back pack, you go straight to the pool room and play until the dusk. And then, you play some more
You are addicted if you do this at least two consecutive days...
I have did it only one day at a time

If you're female, you never purchase an outfit without first trying it on in the dressing room, making sure to bend over in a pool player's stance to see how it looks from every possible angle.

Kiss shot did bite the big weenie, Whoopie who I love, really was mis cast badly. Pool hall junkies, oh well, any pool movie is better than no movie, it was not that bad, come on.
Baltimore bullet, this one I do not understand. Why am I the only person on the figgen planet who admits to liking this movie. In fact, I loved it.
We got spoiled with two academy award winning movies, the hustler and color of money. Our problem is we judge every other movie now has to be as good as or better or we run it into the ground. Pool movies are not going to get the actors and the money to pull this off again in all probablity. We need now to lower our sites and expectations in the future and try to enjoy any pool movie that comes along and be grateful for what ever we get, ie, pool hall junkies.
Rama, I am just a ding dong.
You are a pool junkie if someone offers you the Orange Crush in a race to 7 for 5 jellybeans and you know what they are talking about.
. . . your buddy says "Look at that nice butt." and you actually look at her pool cue for a second. Then you say, "Ooops, I thought you meant her cue." and your buddy says, "I did."
. . . if someone offers to sell you a bridge and you buy it.
. . . someone brings a Budweiser cue into the bar to play with and you suspect it has a Predator shaft and a Moori tip.
Snoozy

True story...
The last two houses I've bought had to meet that criteria. I told the wife she could could have any house she wants, as long as it has room for a table!

... your idea of a horror film is a poorly played accu-stats match
... your idea of an action film is footage of a ten-ahead race
... you move a coin around the table during dinner
... you watched This Old House, thinking it was This Olhausen
... you go to the Museum of Natural history expecting to see Tony Chohan
... you watch Vikings - Chargers expecting to learn more about buying a cue on credit

Your only bathroom reading materials are
Inside Pool
Billiards Digest
McGoorty
Byrne's Pool Stories
Playing off the Rail
You spend all your time and money fixing up your pool room while the rest of the house goes untouched.
You have more than a dozen pool sites bookmarked on your computer
You lay awake at night wondering why Fast Eddie's license plate read TK-6
You have a large drawer in your dresser for "pool-related" stuff.
You still lose sleep over a missed 6-ball in 1999.
