Ahem.  Sport.  Pool is a rewarding sport. 

After five, six hours under the lights, gambling and such (I would never....but I've heard of people who do), and playing with millimeters or precision while stalking the table.

Just because some douches treat it like a mere game doesn't mean it's any less physically or mentally demanding than any other sport.

Hell, I wear a sweatband on my head to keep from dripping sweat on the table.



I don't know. I think of it as a fun game to play when bored. I mean, sure, there are professional pool players, and it definitely is not easy, but saying that people who treat it as a mere game are douchebags? You're going a little too far with that one.

Agree to disagree. 

It's a professional sport to me....ask a tennis player what it's like playing without a net?

Playing "for fun" using bar-banger hillbilly rules is the same to me as trying a mockery like running a marathon backwards as a stunt.

Perhaps I shall use my rudimentary "skills" at illustration and drawing to create a more appropriate context for such a meaty tome.

"Competition"?

There is no competition!  There are enemy agents on the attack who attempt to poison and destroy me.

But they succeed not.

Again with the child cartoons.

Yeah, I got a Wiggum right here, and it smells just like cat food.

Or rather a one-eyed cat been sniffing at the seafood store.

C'mon - this was the early 90's - what did you expect??? And Ralph Wiggum has always been a tubby boy.

Again with the child cartoons.

Wait a minute - the early Simpsons are absolutely timeless. They are enjoyable to all adults and kids alike.

Plus - you were the one who said 'unpossible'. It's only fair that a cartoon like the Simpsons that so many references have leeched into everyday life and if you say something like that - we have to refer to the source material.

I guess all the fat males in the show look like that. The only time I can watch this type of stuff is on an airplane anyways, so there's really no reason for me to be participating in any conversation remotely related to The Simpsons.

Pretty sure plenty of people are strapping in your country.  Might not be legal, but you forget that I'm a dangerous criminal with no respect for the law.

Your local time at the time of this post in your area, seems to be 13 hours behind me - putting you (if I'm not mistaken) somewhere in America??? I'm safe.

Also, pretty sure there aren't plenty of people strapped in my country. We don't let just any idiot get hold of a gun. It's why we don't have news stories reporting to people about the 100th school shooting of THE YEAR...

He doesn’t have a medical degree, and as an American, I don’t even know if he believe what he says. As neurodivergent I find him insulting.
