You might be a pool player if...

....if you can go to the Horseshoe Casino in Southern IN, for DAYS and never set foot on the boat. :cool:
 
-You live at the pool hall and take trips home.

That would have been me at one time, before our last Hall closed down.

And, going to bed thinking about Pool in general and making shots that you will have to practice the next day at the hall.

And this is very true. When I owned my own Tractor Trailer unit, I seriously sacrificed sleep time vs staying at the hall for as long as I could.
Swearing that the next day, I would stay home and catch up on my sleep, but it never happened.

My Wife and I used to spend $1800.00 a month at the Hall. No BS. We sat down one evening, opened out accounts online and added up what we each
spent nightly at the Hall.

It wasn't just a one month thing, it was pretty darn close to that consistently. So, we were anywhere from $80 on a weekday to $120 on any given weekend evening.

If you have an excuse for why you lost, the other guy won or anyone else for that matter.
If you pool is the only thing that comes to mind why you hear US Open
If you keep a stick in the car or carry one just incase somethings happens and you can go play
If you assassin has the easiest job every because your pool hall routine is so consistent.
Bonus Round
If you visit Azb, know who UpState AL is, actually know that pool gets streamed live, know what the 14.1 high run is, avoid talking pool with any other person cause you don't want to yell "how could you NOT know who SVB, Efren or Strickland is?", and last but not least you're really a pool player if you not only watch the shit poor stream from like the Philippines and other countries but also try to be up for a match in that time zone.

(I'll let someone else go, I really wanted to just put that first one but got carried away, CAUSE I'M A POOL PLAYER, DUH)
 
if you have NEVER forgot and left your cues at home,

but you have left your wallet, keys, phone, etc. at one time or another.
 
...your fargo rating is higher than your credit rating.

(seemed appropriate based on other threads)

You might be a pool player if:

You have an RV so you can park at the pool hall overnight

All your clothing decisions are based on how you'll play in 'em

Pool slang is part of your everyday conversation, you nit.

Is your back hand curled around an imaginary cue right now?.. thought so.

C'mon, on Christmas morning, weren't you thinking (hmmm, maybe later play some)

Morning coffee, newspaper unread, AZ up on the laptop... priceless.

I don't think I own a single pair of pants that aren't slightly more worn on the left front where my cell phone in my front pocket rubs on the pool table when leaning over for a shot.
 
You might be a pool player if....
...somebody offers you a dozen Titlists for $45....:lovies:




....and then you find out they're $&@%# golf balls...:eek:
 
Luv it! And honestly I'm guilty of most. Here's one - u get your weekly paycheck and its for $1495.00 and the first thing that pops in your mind is DAMNIT, $5 SHORT of three sets!
 
If you ask the young lady working at Hard Times if she could clean your balls for $5, with a totally straight face.

If you refer to doing it any other way then the Missionary position as "cheating the Pocket".

When you hear a friend left work early, you say, “Nice Out”.

If during Hot summer days you call 911 when you notice someone has left their Pool case in the car with the windows rolled up.

When you hear people on the street complaining about Whitey you suggest they try a measle ball.

If when cleaning or dusting your room; there is a blue tint on all your cleaning rags.

If your girlfriend keeps complaining about Blue Streaks and Wax-build up on her panties from you buffing your shafts.

If you stand in line with your right foot behind you at a 90 degree angle.

The people at Ozone, Neilsons, Pooldawg and Billiard warehouse recognize your voice when you call.

If you have to have John Barton create a custom 2X10 case because you have bought every damn LD shaft on the market.

You shriek like a school girl when someone sets a beverage on a pool table.

If you go through shooting gloves faster than coffee cups at a tournament with an 8:00 am start time.

You drink so many Energy Drinks to help your concentration you urine is florescent.

You introduce your friends by their handicap number rather than their name.

Your girlfriend busts you on the computer rubbing one out on cornerstonecues.com

When someone drops or knocks over a cue stick, you scream like a chick.

If you’ve spent so much time inside pool-halls that your skin color is as translucent as a Cyclops cue ball.

When you hear someone at work complaining about their bank, you ask if they have tried the "mirror image" method?

when needing medical, legal or relationship advise; you go directly to AzBilliards.

...you've ever lied about where you were last night and you were just playing pool.

...you've ever lied about where you were last night and were caught blue-handed.

...you've ever calmed your annoyance at the obnoxious people at the next table by telling yourself "they're here for a different reason and that's OK," only to realize that the difference between you and them is they're here to have fun.

...all of your pairs of shoes have the same dusty blue-hued highlights.

...the worst part of your day was glancing a nipple.

...you spend a half hour doing practice drills and congratulate yourself for this landmark achievement of self-discipline.

...you seem to know strange people everywhere you go and only by their nicknames.

...you have an in-depth knowledge and surprisingly strong opinions on ivory trade regulations.

...you can name every bar in town that's open on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

...you look forward to the winter because you can feel less guilty about spending all of your time indoors.

...you've complained at the local bookstore because pool publications are categorized under Games & Hobbies instead of Sports.

...your heroes are known drunks and a$@holes.

Love almost all of them. Very creative Shake.
