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.
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.
Now where have I heard this train of thought before....Greg, do you realize you would be asking at least two people (not mentioning any names) to completely WEAR OUT their asterisk button on their keyboard...Also thats the one with the '8' on it...They would at least have to get a new keyboard, assuming their computer survived the "asterisk assault"..:frus :frus
PS, the Duck beat everyone he ever played, at marbles.."*"
