so i got hungry and figured i would hustle larry out of a pastrami sandwich at the most expensive place around. it worked and he jumped on the chance. that should have been my first clue. after that he steered me to his pet pool room. i went to grab a table but he said no i have to play on some certain one in the front. i said okay like a fool but off i went.
i did check it out and it had some funny rolls which i am sure larry had put in when they installed it. so the first game i have a cut shot and make it and the cueball hops on the rail and rolls down the wood and back on the table. with a funny look in his eyes he asks me if that is a scratch. i said no by pool room rules. not willing to accept the facts he calls over this big tushhog tournament director type of guy to make the decision. i stared the guy down and held my stick in a threatening position and it worked, and the guy ruled in my favor. you know i didn't fall off the turnip truck. more to come.
next game i have to rack with this metal rack that weighs two pounds. so he breaks and makes a ball. so i say RERACK. he says NO WAY. okay ill give him a beatle rack next time see how he likes that. well next break of his he makes a ball again on the break and opens them up. somehow he nulified my rack to my dismay. things aint so good here.
so i get him in a spot where he needs the bridge. great now i have him. but what he brings out is his own bridge that is a cross between the shop of horrors and the map of the mississippi delta. and pops in his ball. what the hell is going on. doesn't matter as i soon get him in a spot that trickster bridge wont possibly fit. so now he comes out with a giant extention for his cue to make it about ten feet long. holy shit sherlock.
so he makes another one. now i know ive been taken for a sucker for getting that free sandwich.
but maybe if the rules still allow it after the changes i will get me a ten foot long cue, a trick bridge, this metal rack that weighed two pounds he had, and a cue stick like his with a shaft made from what looked like the heat shield tiles from spacex.
