Went to the pool hall to watch a major annual tournament. The first person I spoke with was a player from the Bay Area, whom I haven't seen in years. He said, "you haven't been playing much lately, have you?" I admitted this was true, and asked how he knew...
"You have a tan."

Blah blah blah..........

--Hey where YOU been at?
--Ah, I went back to school.
--Oh yeah? What are you studying?
--Law.
--What, like pre- law over at (community college)?
--No, Law, law. Over at --.
--Well, Law, law, law- ti dahhh.
--Hey I wasn't bragging- you kept f'ing asking.
--Welcome back.

Line tournament. Some guy in the front room called the tournament director over and asked him to please remove the little blue circle from the cue ball.

Word got around and people in the back room started calling him over and asking him to please remove the red dots from the measles balls.

I forget a lot of stupid shit so i'm posting this now for memory. So this same "stupid shit" logic happened twice this week.

1. On Sat at the annual 9b race to 4 B tourney I had a guy down 3-0. He'd cold-racked me the last two racks, so on the final break I waited til he was finished and then went up to check the rack. Before I even got up there to that side of the table, he screeched:

"What, do you want me to re-rack?!? You're up 3 to nothing, Sheesh!"...
