someone once told me, "i'm so drunk, that in order to play i have to aim between the two identical balls."
this was while kicking my ass so badly that i thought i couldn't possibly feel any worse about my game.
well, tonight spot and i left work at 1am, and have just returned from non-stop pool. i beat him 17-6, with the majority of the games ending in spot walking around the table with his pants down. that's because that's the penalty for losing with more than 3 balls on the table.
that gorgeous waitress? at 2.30am she told me that she was getting off in half an hour, and she wanted a game. cool.
we never got that game, because the guys at the tables she was serving just wouldn't go home. by 4.30 i was irritated... partially by her not joining us, partially by it having been a long week (and too much pool is just too much), and mainly by the fact that i finally realized that nothing's ever actually going to happen with her.
but i did get to literally beat the pants off spot. and most of my games were alright.
we signed in now... because both of us are actually planning to work. this is just stupid. happy spring to all those in the southern hemisphere!
more than 3 balls?
ReplyDeleteharsh!
as far as i know it goes a little something like this:
if you whitewash a player (ie: all his balls still left on the table) then he gets one chance to redeem himself:
he has to try sink as many balls as possible without missing or fouling.
as soon as he misses a sink or fouls, count the number of balls remaining on the table.
that's the number of times he has to run pantsless around the table...
(or the number of drinks he has to buy you.)
the reason why i only refer to your opponent as male is twofold:
no woman in her right mind is going to agree to this &
if she's wearing a dress then technically she's already pantsless
(and if the dress is short then she's probably winning anyway ;)
your last line - too true! i like the whitewash rule, but there weren't any of those, unfortunately. he's not that bad :P
