i've spent much of the last four years playing eight ball and nine ball. got sort of serious in the last two years. played in a bar league and in apa before the pandemic. mostly it was an excuse to fuck off in bars. but i love it.

anyone else play?

Nah but I'll probably talk about darts in this thread if I ever go back to that.

i found and bought a beautifully understated brunswick conversion cue by jerry rauenzahn. i think he retired in the last year or two. it's stupid and in my defense i don't feel like this about literally anything i else i own, but i love it. it's one of a kind, it's beautiful and it hits well.

what's your dart game like, pete?

our best pool player was also a state dart champion a couple different years. he's got trophies and all kinds of shit littering his basement.

did you play competitively?

Nah but I smell an opportunity to post a killer Shellac song

post a pic of yourself in action

I feel like I am very good at billiards unless I am playing someone else. Especially if I respect that person. I get nervous and flub my shots.

I was just coming out of a slump when the pandemic hit.

you'd kill me

i love this song

I've got mad respect for Alabama cue ball slammers. I'd be toast before I even set up for the break.

im turning this idea over in my head

A friend of mine was really into it, so I learned to play well enough not to embarrass myself, but that's about it.

i have it on reasonably good authority that Louisville is the greatest billiards city in the usa

gotta hone that killer instinct.

I would hurt a fly.

reid described rotation pool (eternity)

you can just pm it to me, if you'd like...tbh i really just can't remember what you look like, so i thought this would be a good time to solicit an image

historically, i'm at my best on the felt between buzzed and early stage drunk
