My answer to question number 1 is Ronnie Allen but I could be wrong. As for number 2 I will guess that they were in church. :)

We have our first wrong answers...I guess I should have made one of them, "Who is buried in Grants tomb"..(hint Ulyses S.)

OK "Slow Lenny"...I'll give you one more chance, and THAT will be your post #..:frus

See. You're trying to trick ol' Lenny. The original answer to "Who's buried in Grants' tomb?" is...no one.



Its not extra for mail to Detroit, you're confusing us with Chicago again.

Detroit good...Chicago bad.

Detroit send USPS...Chicago send UPS.
:lol :eek: :lol

Dear "don't know much about history" Breath,

Grant and his wife are buried in Grants tomb. I've know that since I was at the 1963 Michigan State Fair.

P.S. What does the "S" in his name stand for?

Answer to #1: must be the OP, the infamous San Jose Dick.

Answer to #2: must be the bathroom where they were all cowering in fear after seeing the monster d*ck (u or i, I couldn't decide). They didn't want to touch that. :eek::D

Thanks for the contest.

How do you brag about something that you didnt do?
The only people that will believe you couldnt get played in Bensingers are local yokel dimwits.

Sorry sir, incorrect answer ! You must answer at least one question correctly, to obtain a VALID post number....The answers should be quite obvious. (are you, by any chance, related to one Leonard Marshall ?)

Courtesy repeat...

Q. #1..Who is the greatest one pocket player, EVER,...to set foot in the old Bensinger's Pool Hall, in Chicago...including ALL the regular shortstops ?..(hint, he only stayed as long as he could hold his breath)

Q. #2..Where were all the "TOP [sic] LOCAL players" hiding, when he came in ?..(hint, they were USED to holding their breath)


PS..This is a bonified contest. That is why we offered TWO (2) choices..If #1 is too painful to answer, just answer #2..Thank you sir.

Does close get a guy a cigar?

The bast one pocket player that ever set foot in the joint was a tie, with four players. Ronnie "fast Eddie" Allen:D Artie Bodendorfer..Leonard "Bugs" Rucker, and Richard "San Jose Dick" McMorran

The answer to the second question is they were hiding out at the bar trying to figure out how they could get three balls the best of it playing one of the four. Regardless of which one of the four it was.

I'll hazard a guess and say it was the Duck, in the bathroom, with the candlestick:p.

Can I take these for my answers?

1.) I was thinking Eddie Taylor.

2.) Digging up old dead people for the next election. (Chicago is known for voters who have been dead for years, but vote for decades afterwards.)

Sir.
If you happen to win, and read my book, I hope it will mean more than "a free book is a free book". It happens to be a very good book. Thank you.
Keep it nice. Alfie
