Your favorite stupid pool comments you love to hate

ive heard " alot of green across that field " lol when someone was shooting

also heard " nice shot >>>>> for a lucky sob !!
" dude you got a horseshoe up your ass "


one guy local player always says this ALWAYS

he tries to break concentration he will say a story about this


" i like swimming , i went swimming last week at local pool and almost drowned " i was getting out of the deep end and a damn blue kid scared the hell out of me " ( referring to sunblock that turns blue ) rofl

he tells several stories about some damn blue kid all the time while playing
 
Players talking about "Snapping off a tournament" or [playing] "Jam Up" are just simply overdoing it and need to get out more.

I'll add to that. It is a pet peeve of mine when someone insists on saying nice shot as if to actually be a compliment. But what their feeble mind doesn't realize is that a nice shot must have a good out come like good SHAPE to be considered just that.

Or the other is the guy and I know of him personally from past years in league that insists on saying it for every shot, well at least 75% of them.

Maybe he's just sharking me, no, I thinks he's just that guy.

Last week i was playing a draw partner scotch doubles tourney. I drew a 20 something hot shot. I set up to play safe, and i hear "what is that, i play to win." I replied, so gaining an advantage with a safety isn't playing to win? He said do what you want. We got ball in hand, ran down to the 8, and i "rattled" it- which knocked us out. I just couldn't keep playing with that guy. #2 Your whole team must have went to church today, that's the luckiest s@#t ever. This after we kicked their ass 5-1.
 
Same kid told me he breaks shafts when breaking because he hits them so hard. His "friend" has 7 cues at home with broken joints from breaking- come on. #2 I've told teammates to grab either a driver or a sand wedge, depending on the shot.

Its not a saying but it is annoying and funny just the same:

When a guy spends 10 minutes arranging and rearranging a rack of 8 ball so that no two stripes or solids are next to each other and the numbers are all in order by square root divided by pie. Of course he then finishes by putting the 8 ball on top of the other balls and dropping it into the hole in the center of the rack with a flourish. He then pulls the rack off and leaves no ball actually touching any other ball.

Yeah....I pretty much hate that.

It's even better when they spin the rack a couple times to look cool, and it slips and busts up the rack so they have to start over:rolleyes: .
 
I hate when a guy misses a ball by about two diamonds, but the cue ball gets great shape for what would of been his next ball. Then he says, "Shit look at that po, you are so lucky I missed or else I would of been out". They can't seem to grasp that if they hit the ball the way they wanted the po would of not been the same.


Also I hate when you miss a ball and leave the guy tough and they say "This leave sucks, you got a busted ass". Whenever I hear that I always tell them I would love to shoot that shot if you do not want it.
 
Thought I throw this story in to see if anyone else had a similar one.

First off I couldn't find big time if I had a road map, nor do I care to. I love pool and I love to play and that's about as far as it goes.

About 6-7 years ago. I was at a friends house. He lived in what was back then considered "farm country" compared to Milwaukee. His place always had bangers that somehow thought I was good. But one time he had over a ever younger, very younger kid. He was proud of his new bright purple colored "Felt" table (very words he used to describe his cloth). and matching sticker or was it an air bushed picture type cue; you know the type. His table was a decent 7ft leather drop pocket no name. Well today we were all playing on a similar 8ft (normal green CLOTH).

After a while it was him and I left to play so I decided to see if new any other games other then the "bar rules" 8 ball that every else only knows of. He said sure, how bout 9 ball; bonus where do I sign up. I loved 9ball well beyond my own skills would ever allow having watch and ran out from my chair for many years (ESPN, it's all I knew of at the time).

So we settled on a set for a Finsky ($5). I was up 2 games when a safety opportunity came. I knew I had no chance of a getting shape if I potted the ball (opps, is potted on this list?) I did well enough to not leave a kick but to leave him only a hit with no shot.

I thought for sure he'd go saftey right back. And if he knew nothing of safeties he would try to bang it in. Well he did play a safety, or at least he tought he did. Nothing ever touched a rail. I called foul. "What"? no, that's not a foul.

Well we all know where the rest of this conversation went. He never let up and would stand his ground for ever unless I was to pull an official rule book out of my ass. So now at this point I gave up playing him knowing that is a huge part of 9ball to play a legit safety, I've won many games on 3 foul.

Ok so I am still furious about him just not understanding so I go confide in my very best friend whom roomed with the this table owner. He knows I am a pool fanactic that is my secret identy. Nope no help there. He for sure didn't even know that was a rule. No one believed me, I was in a horrible place not being able to convince now all the persons at the house that I do know what I am talking about.

So to this day I can only hope that every match I watch today on ESPN he's watching too. And when a shot comes up about this said rule he'll ponder that day and know he was wrong.

Ok, that' more then I type in a week so I hope it's gets some good Friday reads.

Well folks like i promised I will rep my favorite and POCKETWOLF it's you. I have a huge pet peeve with this. It does nothing but help wear that cloth faster.

I had fun reading these. I can only hope more from other parts of the world that are night owls or simply indifferent time zones will add more.

Night night!

They never say "nice try" when you make a ball. Only when you miss!

Or the guy who you pound on for a while until he quits. His comment to you, "You got lucky" or "You got all the rolls".

Or my favorite from the "knowledgeable" pool guy, "Willie Hoppe was the best player who ever lived. No one ever beat him".
And sometimes they add the "fact" that "Willie Hoppe even beat Minnesota Fats, lots of times".

By the way, Fats told me he played Hoppe Three Cushions once in Chicago, in the 1940's. Hoppe spotted him something like 10 or 12 going to 30, and Fats won. Or so he said. Probably true, since there was usually a nugget of truth to all his stories.

I am guilty of that at times because I see the shot before I notice the leave or before the cue comes to rest. When that happens I just add... I didn't say anything about the leave...
 
The guys that get me are the ones who are always muttering to themselves, frowning, shaking their heads and pointing to a spot on the table where the cueball should have ended up while they're running out!

I think, "Man, what does it take to make this guy happy?"

Gawd, that's irritating!

Another one that always got me while playing in the bars was when a guy is racking and he put the 8 ball on top of the rack right behind the hole left open for the 8 ball, slides the rack back and forth, sets the rack and uses his pinkie finger to push the 8 ball into its hole.

Oh great I just called feeble:rolleyes:
 
Another one is when I run over another good player in a weekly tourney and they jump up and say, "Put up $500 and let's play some, you no gamblin' f&%$!

Believe me, I've heard this more than a few times over the years.

Of course, my standard answer to this is, "Let me ask you a question. Why would you want to pay $500 for a lesson I just gave to you for $10?"

How about when you miss an easy shot and your smart a** opponent jumps up and says, "don't worry, i'll get it!"
 
I gotta get these in

Least favorite:
"What happened?" whenever you lose and are considered one of the favorites.

When you dog stroke it:
"It skid on me!"

When you get lucky:
"2 way shot!"
