Flying in

fred bentivegna · Mar 20, 2011

Going out to O'Hare airport at 8:45am to pick up Col Bille. He is coming to stay for a few days. When he leaves I promised him he can give Doc 8 to 7 --at least. The thing is, I'm not sure if we are going to play pool or drink. I have never been able to do both.

I am looking forward to cutting up a bunch of combat jackpots as this is a heavily leaning, right-wing, jingoistic, military loving household. Almost. My socialist, lefty, ex-wife lives on the 3rd floor -- for free naturally. I have ordered her to stay where shes at, and not come down and mix with us. Unfortunately, I also have a roomer who lives with my guy John and I, Howard Henken, that is even more radically left than my wife. I know him from the pool room and the track for the last 40 years, so we put up with him, but John and I threaten his life daily. He has also been ordered to stay in his room. He is so obstinately obnoxious, that I am sure he wont listen and will come out anyway.

Beard
Howard Henken gained a measure of fame in my book, The GosPool, when he was awarded the World's Worst One Pocket Player title. Lefty Bob the previous title holder, the guy Artie used to play 200 to 1 on the money and the break, thought he could give Howard a ball.

Chriss that owned Chrisses billiards said at the DCC that lefty Bob is still a live looking for a game. He still cant draw his cue ball. And on top off that chriss said he he still playing with the same cue stick he played with for 50 years.

Thats pretty amazing by itself playing with the cue stick he started with. Thats a hall off fame cue for sure. And that poor cue never got too draw a cue ball.

You should in vite him too the hall off fame next year. Because that was the only game I ever seen him play onepocket. THats another record. He might be the only person that did that to.

You should invite him and present him with a new cue sighned by the hall off fame players. It would make his dream come true.

I think it would be very special for the hall off fame. Because he is very unusual And extrordinary. And too show the world what a person will do if he loves the game.

And he doesnt have too be a player. I think its safe too say that I dont no off another person like that in my life.

And he always played he never stoped. And he still playes. I would say that showes some reale commitment. And what a person will do for the love off the game.

He is very unusuale and special. And I think everyone would enjoy meeting a person lime that. He is withought a dought one off a kind.

AndIf you need a backer too play him Freddy I Will back you. And you get 90% off the money. Only because it will be a tough game. But if he plays you were you cant quite tell he wants too quite you are on your own.

Because he will waire you out. And your not in youre service shape. I think you would be a big favorite in a sleeping contest. It could be a close contest between you and a bear. After you eat all that pasta and sausage.

But all kidding aside I think it would be great to invite Lefty Bob too the one pocket hall off fame dinner.

Hey Bille.....I meant to warn you and I forgot...I wanted to tell you to make sure you have your service issue combat boots on when you first walk into Freddy's house...if not, those vicious little attack Dachshunds of his will try to nip, and draw blood from your ankles..

...did they get you?...

- Ghost

PS, I hate to think that after managing not to lose any blood overseas for all that time - you then have to suffer a 'ground attack' at Freddy's house...

If I would have seen Freddy at that time and been on the other side were I was Living.

I would have got you freddy. And theier woul;d have been no banking with the beard,.

Or if I would have been a general I would have saved you and just tourcherd you. You would have had too make souerkrute for the rest off youre life. And no banking at all.

See how lucky you were. Not everyone can say that. A different time and place would be a different life all together.

to those who doubt the beard

Just want to say this... after about 18 hours on the table trying to learn the stroke shot that he showed me in about 10 minutes... it is finally starting to pay off... the ball goes in just like he showed me...
I think that just with the different strokes he probably got me up a ball... guess when we go to Red Shoes tonight... I will find out how it holds up under pressure...

Bille

PS the mental side he talks about makes sense also...

Yeah Larry, matter of fact, Bille and I are supposed to play some tomorrow, but I have a dilemna - it's a different kind of mental game problem...

How do I get myself fired up with my usual black ops killer instinct - if I'm playing against a guy who's fighting for and protecting all of us...

First and foremost I want to know who taught Freddie's dog to only bark on my shot... who ever heard of the dog sharking me...

Ghost, Look forward to tomorrow, maybe we should live stream the thing... just so everyone could get a laugh at how horrible I think I am playing...

The more I learn the less I seem to know, and the fewer balls that go in...

Got to play a few games with John tonight at Red Shoes... His son is with one of the Groups... 3rd SF I think... Really nice guy... Shoots real straight... Got to meet Jet, Ike and Piggy Banks tonight also... they can play... Makes me wonder with so many great players up here, if they ever decided to come to Mississippi they would rob everybody...

I don't think I have ever played this much pool in my life... Great coming home present...

In the whole history of my little dog, the only persons he ever bit was my son-in-law and Piggy Banks! He got Piggy on the heel as he was walking out. Piggy had forgotten to pet him.

(I published this a few years ago)
Detroit Whitey and his dog Windy: Whitey hung out for awhile in my joint, The Four B's Club. His dog Windy was with him and Windy never left his side. Windy would lay down under the pool table when Whitey was playing. When Whitey gave him the "office," Windy would snarl, growl, and sometimes fart just as Whitey's opponent would go to shoot.

The Einstein Society has already spoken for my brain. The Woodcutter's Lodge has asked for your organs. They have heard of your "sawing wood" stroke.

As we speak, the Ghost and Bille are battling in my basement. The Ghost has jumped out in front.

In case you get cremated. I need your ashes. I no someone that is starting a hall off fame ashes collection. And Im getting 5 Dimes for every players ashess I get.

Bank pool and one pocket only. If I can get the ashess like in a week Ill splite the 5 D with you. Before you say good bye. That fair isnt it.

Would you belive that somebody said they wanted my brain . Because off my good spelling.

I think its some kind off a trap. Or Trappa. Thats why I have too give my stroke too Paul Bunnjuon he showed me how too saw wood.

THats what he said will give me a good stroke. He used the same
traning as in kung fue.

I used DEtroite Whitys stick move . I sold my brain and organs to 30 people already. I guess the all get a peace.

Imagine If someone got your bank pool brain and my onepocket brain.

It could be another wonder off the world. FB and AB. The B and B DVD and THE triple B comontators. Bentavagna Boddendorfer @ BEnsingers. If You want 4 B then and Broadway and 5 $ bees club.

LOts off B for Billiards ans Banks. Now you have your new DVD THe name off the dvd is 4 BEES. Allit takes is my brains and your stroke. And you can bank on forever.

Or the BEnsingers B and B boys. And I no you like that because thats one off youre favorite words Boys. You never used that playing pinochale did you?
