We had a super rad pool hall here when I was a teenager, it was run by a former trucker named Elvis, we would walk in like it was that scene from Dazed and Confused.

Igloolik Inuit believe that the shark lives within the urine pot of Sedna, goddess of the sea, and consequently its flesh has a urine-like smell, and acts as a helping spirit to shamans.[50]

Last time I wanted to play pool we were offered to join another couple since all the tables were in use. They immediately asked,"Should we make this interesting and put some money on it?" at which point we realized we weren't gonna get to play pool that night :sigh:

I remember after a gig one of the comics was like "Hey, we're near a pool centre, let's shoot some balls" and we were all like okay. So he drove us there, and we all went in, and he's like "I'll be right there gimme a minute" and next thing we know he's walking in with a LONG BAG pulling out his CUSTOM POOL CUE anyway fun night he wasn't actually that good

So what's the deal with the Wheel of Fortune host? Is he a hostage being forced to present the show? He doesn't seem particularly enthusiastic for the game itself or to have any interest for the guests, is he a performance artist doing a long term exhibition of "phoning in at your job"?

lol i did this at a work function a few years ago, except the ceo knew I played and requested i bring my gear so he could use me as a ringer against his friends. everyone else thought i was moron but the extra cash didn't judge

i usually just hide my gear until money is involved

this is great cause I have a story about it.

met up with a girl i was talking to since she and her friends were doing karaoke at a place nearby. they had a few tables so we played a bit. next to us is a guy and his wife, both with off the rack sears sports department sticks. (no shame, i bought a $20 job from MVP sports when I was 14 and used it for years, but they have a distinctive look and can be spotted a mile away)

so after a bit they pegged me as someone who knew his rear end in a top hat from his wristwatch and asked if me and my girl wanted a match with them. my date had negative interest but one of her friends jumped in, assuring me he had played for a bit of money before. "yeah we'll be fine, I gotta hit the bathroom, let them break"

so when i toddled back in with a case the size of a buick on my back the dudes wife smacked him on the arm and said "I told you he was a fuckin uncle phil!" and my date looked completely mortified. we dated for like six months and she deservedly gave me poo poo about it the entire time

another quick one since i just remembered it

my dad started teaching me how to play pool when I was 12. we played every friday, an 8-ball match first to 9 wins on the big 9 footer at our bowling alley. since i was tiny and awful he gave me a handicap. after sides were chosen he would pull three of my balls off the table, so effectively i had to make 5 while he had to make 8. good deal. i lost every time, sometimes in a 9-1 or 9-2 fashion, usually getting shut out. we did this for years until I started beating him and then we suddenly stopped for some reason

almost a decade later i'm at a bar in colorado trying to hash out a match with a guy who wants weight since my league rating is higher than his. i mention the three balls thing (this was an obvious rookie move, usually you just give games or spot them the 8) and his reaction is unexpectedly hostile

"what am I a loving shmuck? that's the oldest trick in the book! kid thinks I'm a loving idiot!"

so when I asked what the deal was and explained that's the handicap my dad gave me, he laughed and said "kid no wonder you got good fast, your dad hustled you for years. he was taking your balls out of his way so it was easier to play position and run out"

it made perfect sense and it had never even occurred to me. when I called my dad and yelled at him he said "life's a bitch" and laughed so hard he had to get off the phone to pee

loving amazing scene and movie. my favorite out of the "tom cruise is good at a very specific thing" collection, he got good enough to perform some of the trick shots himself apparently

God I loved The Color of Money. The bit that always stands out for me is near the start where John Turturro has been hustled so effectively and finally complains he's out of money, and Tom Cruise just goes,"Okay cool let's just play for fun! :haw:" and the look on Turturro's face is just so loving beautiful.
