When we heard that sound we thought it was another of Ronnie "the Rocket" O'Sullivan's champion farts, but no. An astonishing thing. While Robert Wilkins or Joe Perry was lining up his shot, a strange figure ran in, jumped on the table, and released an explosion of what resembled orange Gatorade powder. The Crucible Theatre erupted in boos. "Nay," they shouted, "Get away. Bunch of decent folk have come here to enjoy the game. Thank you, no." Must have had a cause. Take a look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiuL-1NF9gY&t=1701s

is there some kind of context to this? like is it related to some kind of drama or internal politics in the snooker world? does the orange color have some significance? or is it just some random nut who wanted to get on tv for a second?

The event was two English people playing a game in (probably) England, with (probably) mostly English people in attendance. Maybe there was a Welshman in the stands, who knows. Like ... it's a pretty low emissions form of entertainment. Same with going to the museum to look at paintings. The message I'm getting here is that any form of leisure or enrichment is a sin so long as carbon is in the atmosphere, which comes off as a worldview of someone unwell. I'm saying he should try that poo poo at NASCAR or The Masters.

We had a full size snooker table in the basement of no where America. It came with the house, the widow didn't want to pay to have the giant slabs of granite moved. I was already in college and just living there to save money, so I didn't grow up with it. It's loving impossible compared to American pool.
