Nice work, Steve. I feel bad for Lenny, though, because he immediately put his cues up for sale. :eek: Pretty nice looking cues, too. I'm still on the fence about whether to downgrade, keep the same or eventually upgrade(seems like that's innevitable, right?).

Tu vida no es bien? Que mal. Mi amigos van a la playa. Yo quiero una mas cervesa, por favor.

Here are some lines that may help tonight..

Quieres chupar un verga grande? - Would you like to have dinner at my place?
Eso muchacho bonito es un maricon. - That guy also thinks you're hot.
Tu es mi puta. - You are my butterfly.

Trust me, I worked in a pizza joint in L.A., they taught me the important stuff. :D
Ok, maybe don't say those..

Only if it's not 1p! Give me a little time with that one.. just getting into paying my dues at $5/game playing even. Gotta keep myself to playing simple and watching some of the moves. Get paid on Friday, so maybe I'll bump my 1p allowance an extra $10.

Play you some barbox 8, though! ;) Speaking of.. BCA starting back up tonight, with 2 master teams in the division I want to see if I can place high. 8 on the big table is a little different, though.

This Game

This Game

With advance, if not sincere, apologies to Sister Rosetta, W. Guthrie, and all the other “This Train” artists.

One game is bound for glory, one game.
Needs gamblers, liars, some midnight ramblers.
Every shot is fraught, is fraught with peril.

Post your bets above the light, above the light.
One game is bound for glory, one game.
Come on you thieves, you wheeler-dealers, you here-and-gone men.
Keep rolling, you rustlers, two-bit hustlers, all you con men.
Every shot is fraught, is fraught with peril.
This game is bound for glory, this game.

Once tested
Never quite tried
Efren’s game hit full stride
Players came
Oh how they came
Costly mistakes made them all lame
Kast of his shadow
Efren’s is due
To reach Hall status in Onepockets crew...

Lol. That was fun...:)

Hall of Fame

Because of his knowledge
Including his skills
Lessons he’s taught us
Lately more still
Incapable of dumping
Never robbing the till
Careful of feelings
Always conscience of right
Right on the money
Doing so every night
One pocket has a Hall
Nice it would be
Everyone vote Billy into the Hall with glee...

Heres mine from 2001

One ball on the break, what a great way to start
Now settle down Sappo, lets play this rack smart

Each and every shot must be judged with great care
Potential risks and rewards can be seen everywhere

Once I found the best shot, I was well on my way
Couldn't do anything wrong, on that wonderful day

Kept my opponent squirming and uncomfortable in his chair
Eight and out I went and his face showed much fear

This was how it went all day long, "mistake free" one pocket
I could do no wrong.

Here's my poem from way back then...:) >>>



The Ghost's tribute-poem to onepocket.org:



Steve Booth had a vision, so fine and so bold,

So he created one pocket.org - a site to behold!

Endorse nine ball, eight ball, or straight pool? - no way!

Only posts about One Pocket, all night and all day.

On the site you’ll find pros, shortstops and rookies,

Competing on wwyd's, to be the winner of cookies.

Kick-shots and banks, safeties and traps,

With pics of all kinds like ‘the Beard’ taking naps.

And the Ghost would play Efren - with 12-6 and the snaps
...:eek:...:heh...:)

nice poems all, got me inspired! =D

One Pocket is the game we play
Need 8 balls in our hole no matter how they lay
Every skill is needed in our little bag of tricks
Practice making banks, combos, caroms, rail first kicks!
Offense helps you score, while defense keeps you in it
Chances are, the one who plays the smartest is going to win it
Knowledge, and Moves, Creativity and Heart!
Everyone of us loves one pocket,
Till death do us part!

He realized one day
lifes tough being a kid.
With Dads high expectations
His minds in a BiB.
One day he got grounded
He stayed home for months.
Bad grades were his proof
And punishment his munch.
He hated the books
& loved everything else.
In the basement
was a pool table, not much else.
It's time had arrived.
No more books or reading
That's not how I survive
with this type of bleeding.
Came home one day
the table was gone.
I was befuddled pissed off
but had to move on.
I picked up the phone book
and looked for a poolhall.
One just down the street
by the bowling alley and all.
When I first walked in
many kids from school.
All playing & laughing
& all playing pool.
From Gordon Hart to
superjoint to
Ostrich wrap and all.
I was in for a ride
that's NOT for you ALL.
