#1 - held my first cue when I was about 7 years old (1960)
#2 - single: "no" female: "yes" available: "not at the moment"
#3 - Never played it (I'm not a player. Not a groupie, either. just sayin)
#4 - My brother, Mark, was my biggest influence. He taught me how to play. I grew up with a big table in my house. For a little girl, I was actually good. I played from about the ages of 7-9. Never really played again after that.
#5 - Jimmy Reid, of course
#6 - It doesn't mean anything. It's my first name.
#7 - West Palm Beach, Florida
#8 - therapy shopping, reading, tennnis, swimming,walking, enjoying the outdoors. I just recently started taking photographs of palm tree. Sounds lame, but I love palm trees and they make for some beautiful photographs.
I'm a public school teacher, but have also dabbled in real estate investing. I'm also a patron of the arts and a supporter of worthwhile causes. I'm interested in human behavior, and I really enjoy interacting with fun, intelligent, cool people like the ones here on this forum.

Firstly, all this info is available in detail on the Beard's Interview here on 1pk.org.
To reiterate, 69 yrs, 1954, single male looking for an illiterate, runaway, hillbilly dolly. Playing 1 pkt. since 1961. Playing well since 1970. Gene Skinner was my main mentor. Favorite, Harold Worst, then many others. The Beard was a nickname given to me by Sharky from Philly at the Congress Bowl in Miami in about 1966. Im in an area that used to be a kill zone for road players, but is now peopled with nits, just like the rest of the country, and this new breed.

[SJDinPHX]

You aren't "surfer rod" are you?

NewFos,

He is definately not Surfer Rod..Surfer Rod was a "traveling" pool sucker..This sucker (Rodney) stays in one place most of the time.. :D :D

PS..His win/loss record, is probably the exact opposite of Surfer Rod's...:eek:

[androd]

You aren't "surfer rod" are you?

Newfos, No, I think he was a little younger than me. A unique character, we played pool several times. I once saw him boogerloo about $4000.00 away while playing pool in Nashville. He was dancing and his opponent was playing pool. I once asked him for the money he owed me, from a loan after he went broke. he flexed his bicep and said "try and get it" :) He did pay it a year or so later after I lost to him pitching at the line. He pitched very well that night. (and every night) He got in serious trouble in Dallas with his macho attitude.
Rod.

[One Pocket Ghost]

NewFos, Guess I might as well seriously fill out your questionare too.

#1. State age, year you began playing pool. - In my Golden Years - can't remember
#2. Are you a single female and available? - does cross-dressing/transvestitism count?
#3. How long have you been playing one pocket? - can't remember
#4. Who are/were your primary pool influences? - One Pocket Ghost
#5. Favorite Player, and also, biggest influence. - One Pocket Ghost
#6. What does your screen name mean? - SJDinPHX, stands for: Still Just Divine in Purple Hanes (briefs) XSmall
#7. What area are you in? - Where grass is yellow.
#8. Hobbies. - I like to keep very active! - Shuffleboard, badminton, canasta, collecting Hummel figurines, cactus gardening, studying pool systems, playing bank pool, crocheting in pastels (don't laugh, I find it very calming), disco dancing for seniors (on Friday nights at the local Elks Club) and...Bingo on Tuesday nights and watching the soaps on T.V....:)

Rod.

A guy came through here years ago who I think was Surfer Rod. He was in this after hours joint that had a couple of bar tables in it. He hustled me to play some pool but since I had imbibed too much I declined. He then hustle me to pitch at the line. Well, he fell into his own trap as I was the best line pitcher I ever saw. I said OK, if we draw a line on the dance floor and pitch at that. The owner cleared the dance floor, we drew a line and started out at 200 a pop. I beat him out 4400 and never saw him again.

Your Pal, Ghosty.....:D

Was off-line most of yesterday, and I just caught your hilarious [sic] post now...Let me just say this,...If my pool game had ever been influenced by ANYONE from Chicago, I would have died from sheer boredom long ago.

And yes, between Bubbles, and J.A., I lead a very active life, much unlike apparitions who only have their fantasies (and very weak comedic skills) to sustain themselve's..:rolleyes:

San <---knows the Ghrost only wishes he would have had MOI, to influence him...San would have cured his "nittiness" early on. (maybe,...tall order)
However, San would not have been able to do anything about his lack of talent...After all, he learned 1 Pkt., from watching Weirdo Beardo consistently lose his cash...:eek:

no wonder i always think ive won when i get to 6 instead of 8:)

[newfosgatesucks]

Imbibed,heh? For those of you who don't know how stone cold Blackeee is, here's a little bit.

This past week, Blackeee suffered a very damaging blow to the head. Slipped in the ice, laid his forehead/brow open clean over to his temple. I show up to hit some balls, he answers the door looking like death. And whats he say?

"Go on over there an' get warmed up"
I asked if he was goin to the hospital, and got a truly great answer:
"I aint messin with that right now, I wanna play some ----in POOL."

Frankly, I was scared NOT to get warmed up. lol. SO, here we go at it, and he just gets out from nowhere, bankin, kissin, shootin, Blood runnin down his face, gettin in his EYE.

And through it all, he beats me "Blackee and Blue":eek:
