Pennies from heaven

[gulfportdoc]

I was practicing the other day, when I made a ball on the break. The balls opened pretty nicely, and I thought, "Hey, I wonder if I could get 8 from the break?" I don't often run 8 and out, and running 8 from the break only occurs for me 1-2 times a year!

Anyway, I was able to pick some off, and bump some others into makeable position. But after running seven, I was left with the following layout. I said to myself, "Oh well, good run. I'll just knock the 1-ball away from my opponent's pocket." I went two rails to kick it away, but to my surprise and delight, I shot the CB long. It kicked the 1-ball into the stack and rolled into my hole!

I broke into a big grin and a snicker, but when I looked around, nobody had been watching!:mad:

Reminds me of the commercial when the kid makes a hole in one and looks around to see if anybody saw it. Then out of nowhere comes the greenskeeper and says"Nice shot kid"

Right on, Blackee. My only audience were two stiffs sitting nearby eating burgers. They probably wondered what kind of weird 8-ball game was I playing.:confused: :p

Doc, you reminded me of a funny pool tale.

Some years ago I was playing (insert any name) $50 1P in the Rathole in downtown Oakland.

It was in the heart of skid row, and the house man had a full time job shooing the drunks away. One slipped thru the cracks one day.

I'm in the middle of a run, and as I'm lining up a sraight in shot, on the 8 ball, this drunk comes weaving over. As he gets uncomfortably close... I straighten up and give him my best "may I help you" look.

In a perfect Foster Brooks drunk voice, he says "I ju..ju..just wanted to tell you, you're sh..sh..shooting the wrong ball". Had to laugh...true story !

PS I wonder if it might have been Artie on one of his many (sic) road trips ? The guy did spit a lot. :p
