Playing 8Ball last nite in the bar across the street from my marina. It's a semi-seedy place, and I am brand new there, but it's walking distance from my boat, so it's my new hangout till I get moved again. If anyone here knows Seattle, I was in the "County Line". nuff said.
There was an open table when I walked in, so I setup a rack for some practice. One of the regulars walked up just as I was about to break and told me it was HIS table, and I was going to play him. OK, fella...
I take the first game, and he wants a rematch. No money on the table, just sport. The next rack was pretty typical for me. I broke and potted 6, leaving him wide open to run out. (Hey, I said I was a clacker!) He sinks 3 balls and cornerhooks himself. Instead of kicking at something, he intentionally scratches. I'm pissed off, but I don't even look at him as I get up.
I'm little ones, and my last ball is in the kitchen. I don't have BIH (it's bar rules). He sits back down at his table and takes a big pull off his beer, obviously pleased with his strategy. I have nowhere to go, and he's going to get a chance to redeem himself for his previous defeat.
I give him this in return:
START(

%Yg6P4%Zg0C5%[j2Z3%\g8S1%]r5D4%^j9[0%eC2a4
)END
1 ball, center of the pocket, leaving the cb at "A" /ccboard/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Easy 8 and I'm out. Next game, he couldn't sink a ball, and I left him with all 7 on the table. Ha! Sucker, it's MY table now..
It was worth it not to run the table, just to make that great kick shot and see his face!
CM <~~~every now and then gets lucky (at the pool table, anyway!)
