Pool Junkie

1) When you know every pool halls cheapest rates by day/time of the week, but you can not remember you kids names.

2) When you wake up in the middle of the night, seeing a ball that just bounced between the rails without falling in the pocket.

3) If you miss a day of pool, your buddies read the obituaries.

4) When you celebrate the 9-footer being re-felted just like it is XMAS.

5) If your cue is your background on your computer.

6) If you know trudeau is a 4-letter word.

7) If you drink "Lite" beer cause of Steve Mizerak.

8) If you search for the Color of Money to set a reminder on the cable box - even though you have seen it thirty plus times.
 
What's up!!

Do you not have a sense of humor Walt? No hatin' here. I have been around this forum for a couple of years and have seen several different threads just like this one. So, no I'm not at all jealous. I thought it was pretty damn funny.

pool dreams

Some one metioned having pool dreams .I have had one three times
that I was at a huge tournament and I just won the break ,the balls are racked, I get down and shoot the break and BAM I jerk my arm hit myself
in the chin and wake up ........I may be nuts .I think I may be a pool junkie
I sold all my comic books and some other collectable stuff and bought a
table and a few nice cues .The pool stuff is SO much better I can use it
the other stuff I sold just sat there collecting dust (thats why they call it
collecting ) I have only been playing again for 2 years .I live within walking distance to the pool room in Marietta,GA and play on four leauge teams :D
Yeah I am pretty much hooked .Oh and unless I meet a girl who loves to
play I am pretty sure it will be better to stay single
 
If you have taken personal days off to attend a pool tournament!


I am guilty!!!!! Guilty!!!
 
...if you post topics on pool message boards about how you might be a pool junkie.

You might be a pool addict if...

you have a pool table light hanging over your dining room table.

you've ever had to gift wrap a box of Master Chalk.

your wife and kids can beat the ghost in a race to 9.

you go to your family reunion looking for suckers.

on your way to the pool hall, you have to turn around and go back to the house because you forgot your lunch box.

you've ever been in a fist fight involving the phrase, "Corey can get the 8."

you've sold all your guns because you couldn't fit all your pool cues in the safe.

your car has more than 3 bumper stickers with the word "Efren" on them.

And finally...
your favorite food is cornbread, you like magicians, and your favorite TV show is "The Rifleman."

* You are on the pool hall speed dial when action comes to town

* You get free pool, just because

* The waitress doesn't ask what you want, and just brings it when you arrive

* People immediately notice when you shoot with a different cue

* (for the smokers) You switched to 100's so the cigarette wouldn't burn out while you shoot
* You quit smoking when your pool hall went No Smoking

* You plan long sessions by the menu at the different pool halls

* You have marked your favorite house cue so you can find it easier

* You have a preference for cue balls, and can explain why

* You memorize all the league nights, so you can avoid the mess

* You've gotten a dozen fancy chalk holders as presents from family and friends

* You spread some gravy to the staff when you score big

* You have actually been scolded for being the guy that plays pool all day but never tips your waitress.

If you join the dating scene, and realize that you can't relate at all to non-pool players because you don't go to movies or concerts or clubs, you haven't done anything outdoorsy in over a decade, and being in the sunlight gives you a headache.

If you are willing to bet on almost anything when there is no action...just to entertain yourselves.

When you use describe colors as 3-ball red, or 1-ball yellow....and people just look at you like you're speaking Martian.

When you see shirts or ties with pool balls on them...and you get mad because the colors are all wrong...except for the 8-ball. (I mean, really...do your homework people! It's not that hard for designers to match the colors to the right balls!)

- your first date with a woman involves a pool hall

I did this, we eventually got married. It was at the U of Illinois in a bar that had a great fish fry every friday, I forget the name of the place. We've been married 16 years.

On our wedding night, we stayed at the Adams Mark in St. Louis before heading off on our honeymoon. We get into the elevator to go up to our room and there were three guys in the the elevator with cue cases. I innocently asked what was going on and they said there was a pool tournament in the basement. I looked at my new bride and well... lets just say that over the past 16 years I have become familiar with the look I got in that elevator. I guess there are limits to everything.

Too true!!!!
 
.......if it is league night and you get to the pool hall to find out you left your personal chalk and glove at home, so you decide to drive 20 miles back to the house to get it before league starts!

...when you've taken of personal days TO PRACTICE for a pool tournament!!!

Guilty! Actually, I plead the 5th, just in case they can read this at work.
 
.......if you and your buddy show up to the pool hall one Sunday afternoon (Noonish!) to play a few. Your wives show up (2ish) and B/S for a while and shoot a few then get tired of waiting around for you (6ish!) So they go home to cook dinner and wait for you all. When you get done at the pool hall you get told that you have to figure out dinner for yourself because the wives ate without you. (Midnightish!)
