Pool Room Sleeping Contest

Ok..........Since we're already all over the place now, here at oneofanything.com, with copying porn DVD's, drinking contests, etc....I've got a new challenge to make - representing the Midwest.....And I'm looking for challengers from the West, Southwest, or East.....I have a 3-man World Class sleeping team that I want to stake for big $$$....


My team consists of Freddy the Beard, Sylvester (Bug's old friend), and Willie Munson from Milwaukee....

Now, Billy, mr3cushion, and a few other old-timers who are familar with my team, and have seen them in 'action' will know how strong my team is...but for those of you who have never had the pleasure of seeing these 3 guys contentedly tilted back in a pool room chair, let me give away their speed a little....

They'll just warm up, by sleeping through tournament calcutta auctions, snoring in front of the table where John Schmidt is on a run of 461 in straight pool and hasn't missed yet, and nodding off while the seventh game of the World Series is playing on the pool room big screen tv - stuff like that are hangers for them........NOW, IF THE BET'S HIGH ENOUGH....

My guys can sleep while standing up - fall asleep on demand (within 90 seconds) - and keep sleeping while Kim Kardashian squirms around on their lap....that's just a sampling for you........

So, anybody want to put a team together to challenge my team ?......


- Ghost


PS, I'm talking about clean sleeping only, on the natch - no booze or pills involved!.....

PPS, I ask you...is not one of the most beautiful pool room sights....on a warm sunny summer afternoon, dust moted-sunbeams streaking through the old venetian blinds...an old retired hustler - unlit cigar stub in mouth - folded racing form lying in lap - chin on chest - peacefully dreaming of all of those old scores.....brings a tear to my eye.

We have one guy in St. Louis who is pretty strong when it comes to sleeping. But Sylvester is way too strong. He'd probably be able to spot our guy the five out on the snooze.

The record

The record

I broke my own record this year at a tourn. at Chris's Billiards. I splept through the entire tourn. in a billiard chair without dropping my head. 8 1/2 hrs. When I woke up it was 3:30 in the morn. My chair was right in front of the main table.

her is one for ripples. I would fall asleep stading up by the pay phones at ceasers palace and the security guard yous to wake me up and said i will fall down and breack my head. I wish I would have wrote they securities guard name down. To veriafy my story. But thats what happened.

Apparently they're not playing "You snooze, you lose"...

We have a couple of sleepers at the Flamingo, one guy can fall asleep while holding his drink and never spill a drop.

About 50 yrs. ago there was a friend of my Dad's (Smitty) who used do deal poker for the Outfit in Chcago, his name was Ralph De Matteo AKA The Donkey, I, with my own eyes have seen him on many ocassion go broke on the 1st race, and sleep through the other 10, and never flinch.

If the Greek was still alive he could be a strong addition to your team Ghost.
Peaches also was pretty strong in that area.

Finally something I can be competitavly involved in here,

I cant sleep at night when I should go to bed, but I can sleep during the day anywhere, When I fly I'm out before the plane takes off and about half the time the flight attendant wakes me up after all the people are off the plane,I sleep through the landing and everything, sometimes I wish the flight was longer so I could sleep more. No pills either.


Last pool room sleep for me was about in last November at Shooters in Olatha, I was dead tired it was around 10-12pm(odd time for me to be sleepy), I slept about 6 hours-I think, I had to force my self to get up, I didnt want to miss my ride to my motel room.

in school I slept in class(s) everyday the whole time I was in school, I got so good I could sleep with my sun glasses on and keep my head up-so I looked awake, it took some practice to get that down, good, once I sprained my neck b/c my head fell to the side at a angle and I tried to straighten up too fast(scared the hell out of me!), It was sore for along time after that, I couldnt turn my head without pain for a week, wow that hurt.

I have more sleeping unfer the pool tables storie's from alot of rooms over the years, most of the time after 5 to 7 am after a all nighter, that's when I get I start to get tired or anytime during the day up to 7pm I can sleep anywhere warm. After 7pm i'm awake and ready. I have upside down hours. Thats why I never tried to get a job, I cant wake up to go make $$, I like to do things on my schedual. Shoot I wouldnt get up to go see a girl for that matter. I need my sleep.


Pick me for a sleep team, I will even cover my action I like it so much.


PS: my weak spot: I cant sleep when I'm cold, the hotter the room up to 90 the better,


All this typing made me tired, but I cant sleep LOL its only 1045pm.

Over-exhausted. I've been there in Basic Training.

The first day we arrived at MEPS at 4 o'clock in the morning...went all day through arriving at San Antonio, Texas 24 hours later. We then marched all day long going to different places. (The marching is what did it to me) By the time we arrived to get our uniforms and boots, I sat down to pick out-put on some boots and zonked out. They woke me up and said, "Come on" and everyone was leaving. I just blindly grabbed a pair of boots and run off. Ended up going through basic with a pair of boots a size too big. Could have been a lot worse - but I wasn't going to complain. I remember we were standing in formation one time at attention and I dozed off. Fade that! Haha...

I learned my lesson though. We played this war game all night long. I made sure I got shot quickly and went to the tent to doze off. They kept waking me up asking me if I wanted to get back out and play (they were all loving this war game crap) and I cussed them and they left me alone. It was the longest/best night of sleep I had in basic training. the next day I felt like a million bucks and everyone else looked like the walking dead, ha.

Knowing when they're dead isn't usually the hard part in most poolrooms. It's trying to figure out if they're alive that'll wear you out.

One Pocket Ghost - if you need a "sleeper" for that team (no pun intended).

You could put Troy Johnson on the team. That would be a little under handed though as he has a case of Narcilepsy. Though, I'm pretty sure Sylvester does too.

I saw a real nice guy Tanzey was his name fall off his stool in South Bat Billiards back in 93, he just fell asleep and over he went, his head just missed a pool table, he was on a bar stool with no arms on it, it was a tall one. Man I saw it all, I thought he died, he was kinda old-I ran over and he was just fine. Scared the hell out of me, man if he hit his head it would have been bad. He was just fine, a little shook up was all. he sure had a nice pretty stroke. I dont know where he is anymore.

Hey guy.

I'll stake you at the sleeping contest. I'm going to hold it right at the tournament entrance area where everybody hangs out.

Last one up gets the $$$$$$$.


I think I like you in this bet.
