Well, I hated to go against the grain, but I normally just sake hands, tell everyone good shooting and say my good byes lol. I actually thought of this thread as I was leaving tonight and just couldn't bring myself to drop a line like these. Maybe..austa la viesta baby haha!

Yeah, I'm 100% certain if I said any of the things listed here to anyone I shoot pool with, I'd get looked at with a blank stare as if I had a third arm growing out of my back.
 
1. What did you think you THOUGHT you were trying to do??? - Michael Medley in response to his partner shooting an absolute NUTS sellout shot in our partner one-pocket game.

2. There's only 2 things you do laying down, and ain't neither one of'um shootin' pool!!! - Old Man Harley @ Hilltop Billiards, in response to my playing stance. (he was old school, and thought you should always stand up straight to shoot pool! lol.)

God bless them both!

'course not

No no, don't pretend like you're kidding, because you're not. Nor should you be. This is a peculiar thread ...

You guys ACTUALLY say this stuff? To people? Out loud? Come on, what are you guys, auditioning for a sitcom? No one has a tagline they say every time they leave. :rolleyes:

The line doesn't work with a bunch of regulars. But when I'm in a place that I'm not well known and loudly announce I've been ran out of a lot better places as I leave it makes a bunch of folks scratch their head and wonder what they missed kinda like when you see a public reaction to a private message here on AZB. Of course my signature exit in an eating place where I received crappy service is wordless. After I'm standing I toss a quarter tip on the table or plate where it makes a lot of noise, letting many people know just what I thought of the service!

Growing up as a kid..my Mom was a cook and when she got bad

service..she always left 2 cents..and then would say out loud..

it one time at Tee Jays country palace and the waitress threw them

at me..lol..SA
 
Come on 9Ball.... of course I've left the pool hall and asked where the ATM is. I'd wager that a bunch of us have. If you are going to gamble... at some point you are going to take a bad beat.

It's not alway what I say... usually its "see ya later" or "see ya tomorrow"

But, those just aren't as funny. :wink:

I was gambling, at a young age, with Nick Vlahos in Country Cue in Peabody Mass. I broke Nick and he put his cue down and started walking towards the door. I asked, "Where are you going?" he said, "Home to get more money." I told him, "Hurry up."

Nick never returned. I guesss he didn't like the confidence in my voice.

I miss Nick. He was a great, great player.

the quarter is so they know I didn't forget!

The quarter is just so they know I didn't forget. Two cent tips are fine, never leave a three cent tip though. A young man ate a nice meal but being a little low on funds only tipped three cents. When the waitress got back to the table before he left she looked down at the three cents. "These three pennies tell me a lot about you. The first penny tells me you are frugal. The second penny tells me you are a bachelor. The third penny tells me your father was too!"

when you leave the pool room what do you say...Mine is...

DONT TAKE NO WOODEN NICKLES

I HAVE TRUELY RECEIVED SEVERAL WOODEN NICKLES

I CARRY THEM IN MY WATCH POCKET ALONG WITH ST CHRISTOPHER THAT MY SISTER GAVE ME..SA

I don't have one, but I would say the top three of all time are:


4 "adios, amigos"

3. "hasta la vista, baby"

2. "Ciao"

and #1 of all time:

"I'll be back" * in a German accent

You can add "with Dippy" if you want to draw a crowd.
 
'bye everybody'. yes, i'm a simpsons fan.

my fave from a bartender, as a goodbye to his customers: 'be good. if you can't be good, be good at it!'
