Hell I love shooting pool. Me and my dad used to do it all the time. Its been awhile since we've done it. But we used to go every week or so and shoot pool at the pool hall down the road. He goes on mondays and shoots for free at a bar called Hot Shots. I would love to go with him, but they won't let me in the bar.

Maybe they would not have had you moved your lard ass away from the sample tray at the bakery counter. I thought it was one sample per customer. Why do they let you bring that LaZBoy chair into the store anyway?

i'm 25 yrs old, my parents used to shoot pool all of the time before they had kids, and they taught my brother and I how to shoot pool, and i love it, but there aren't many people my age that do not even know how. I will make it my goal to make sure my children and their friends know how

I am an avid player, and last year somebody at work gave me their pool table (it's a total piece of crap, but way better than nothing!)
I try to get my boys to play, or let me show them how to play, but for the most part they are not interested. Although Nightmare is starting to want to play more, and is quickly starting to look like a pool player. If I can teach him how to gamble by the time he is in 8th grade, maybe he can earn enough to pay for his college!
It's always been a shame that pool has not made it into a big time sport with the top players earning millions. (like skateboarding?)
The infinite variety of shots and the lifelong learning are why I love it, almost as much as golf.

I used to stuff my snowballs with firecrackers and bottle rockets.. makes for great fort busters and added effect when the target doesnt know its coming

Shit, when I was a kid (uhh...I guess 10 or so years ago) we had bottle rocket fights...

Yes, bottle rocket fights. We took cardboard tubes, sealed them with duct tape at one end, lit bottle rockets, threw em in the tubes, and shot em at each other like bazookas. Snorkles worked great as "pistols". Stupid? Yes. Burns and scars? Of course. Insane amount of fun? You betcha.

Course, whenever it wasn't snowing, we had school-wide dart wars (nerf gun battles between teams off of school property). That got crazy in high school. $50 per team to register, around 20 teams joined. $1000 to the winning team was a pretty damn good prize in high school.

Nowadays of course all the parents and school officials are like "Oh no, these kids are getting violent! They're make-believe murdering each other! These foam dart guns are turning them into criminals! Blah Blah Blah..." Screw em. I had so much fun doing that in high school and did any of us grow up only to rob a bank or shoot up a post office? No. Get a grip...stupid suburban parents. [/rant]

Everyone didn't do that?


Hmmm...

(btw.. the best bottle rocket bazookas were those tube that came out of those big old tiem golf bags... or you could cut out the middle man and go straight to roman candles with reports... those mothers'll flush the opposition out of thier positions... BB gun and frozen paintball fights were fun too... rememer to dress in layers though... lots of them)

I never thought of the cardboard tubes for bottle rocket fights. I was never very good with those fights because I never held the rocket quite right, either too hard or too soft. I preferred Roman Candle fights. Now that was fun. :biggrin:

Some of my fondest OSU memories are the massive snowball riots that would break out after big snowstorms. They would start small enough, little groups here and there - and as more and more people came out, it would turn into warfare between lagre groups. Then, as the 'mob mentality' would take over, the attention would turn towards a common enemy - the traffic slowly creeping up the street. We saw one driver brilliant enough to stop his car and get out and yell at ~200 people who were hurling snowballs at his car. Everyone stopped in a kind of temporary shock ("Is he actually out of his car") and one lone snowball lobbed in a lazy arc from the back of the crowd snapped eveyone out of it. We must have pumped 50 or so snowballs into the car before he got back in. Then, the culmination of the whole day would be the sweeping of the neighborhood by the cops. I remember a line of cop cars driving up 15th Ave with driving the mob ahead of it like cattle. Freaking hilareous. I miss college.

Sadly, in my years at OSU, there hasn't been a really large snow storm which hasn't been over break. Although, I do remember we once converted the stairway leading out of Mack hall into a giant snow fort and started chucking snow balls at everyone passing by. Someone parked their car in front of us and used it as cover while he tried to fire back at us.
