Nice Shot

[CoMoChief]

C'Mon.....we were all waiting for the ol' 8-ball in the cooter trick.


I remember when I was about 7-8 yrs old ....one of my dad's friends taught me a trick shot. He racked the balls up in the triangle rack like we were going to play a standard game of 8ball. Except he placed a quarter a few inches in front of the 1st ball in the front. He told me that by doing this he would be able to hit all of the balls, at least one into each pocket, from the break.

He told me to stand at the opposite end of the table and to closely watch how he aimed the break shot. So stupidly I did this thinking nothing was going to happen but watch all of the balls go in on the first try.

Then he shot it, ball skipped up when it hit the quarter, it went over the rack and end of the table where I was standing and hit me in the nuts. Man my dad's friends were great. Hitting me in the nuts w/ billiard balls, shooting zingers over in my direction on purpose when we're pheasant hunting....

This explains a lot.

not many CP'ers could take me down in 9-ball - maybe a few - like less than 3.

When 'practiced up' - I'm a notch below Jeanette Lee.
