I'll be the first to say, I don't see anything wrong with a pool player bragging a bit, after all we spend a lot of time telling everyone how BAD we play in order to get a good game
But that's the funny part. When we could play, we would say we can't play. When we can't play now, we tell everyone how good we did play.:lol
And as with all of being human (I think), there are some of us, that really like to brag, some of us that brag every now and then, and then some of us that have to be coaxed into even spitting anything that even resembles a brag.
Going even further, there are some people that have the talent to really brag it up, but make us like it, others that brag it up and make us want to puke. So there is a certain "way" of bragging that makes the excessive bragger come across as enjoyable, then again, he could also come across as extremely annoying.
Now the part that confounds me is the ones that will never admit to losing at anything. I believe that the only time you can say you "beat" someone, is if you have played them at LEAST several times and you came out on top. All these brags where someone said they beat someone 1 time, I feel should have a asterisk next to it and really doesn't tell us anything. I mean it could have been a race to 3, or the guy could have been drunk off his ass, or they could have had one arm in a sling, or it could have been for 10 bucks, or they could have been trying to lay down a lemon in hopes of busting you, but then they figured out that was a waste of time and they quit or you quit.
On a final note, the absolute worst bragging is done by the people that, no matter what you're talking about, they brag about how they did it even better. This goes in line with the know it alls, that no matter what you talk about, they know all about that subject too, or if you tell a story, they feel the need to tell another one that try to top yours.
I guess I accidentally posted under greg the other day, as I've been logged in so much due to the upgrade that I forgot. It's been almost a year and I haven't' slipped up once, so I guess I got careless.
And yes, he does know real talent when he sees it, because I am damn good at many areas in the computer world. (Damn, I believe I just bragged... hey, that kinda feels good)
It takes a lot of trust to allow someone the keys to everything, especially with all the blood and sweat he's poured into this place. It's a big decision and I know that I am trustworthy, careful and can really do a lot of good stuff, so I know he made a good decision and I know I won't disappoint him either. (Damn, I believe I just bragged again... this is starting to get addictive)
As far as that picture, I'll remember that one, that was low. You got one coming your way
