    Speaking of funny pool stories ...

    I've been kicked out of a pub for doing what I call a top-spin jump. You hit the top of the ball into the table and the top-spin on the ball makes it loop over the top of anything in front just like a traditional jump-shot. It is a bit harder to control and needs to be hit at a fair pace to work.

    Anyway, I needed to get over a ball that was inbetween the white and the black, with the Black being on the far end cushion from where I was. I pulled out a top-spin jump, bearing in mind that the local rules prohibited traditional jumping. I cleared the opposition's ball no worries, but when the white hit the black, it catapulted the white off the table, directly behind the black at a great speed.

    Unfortunately it smacked into the forehead of a chick sitting behind the table

    Even more unfortunately, this chick's dad was the local Police chief
    If in doubt, Google it.

    It sounds like the reverse of the "Masse" method. You hit the cue very low, putting a bunch of backspin on it, and at the same time jumping over a blocking ball. The backspin makes it come back and hit the ball from the other side.

    It's very hard to control, and only used regularly by the "big kids". Pool room shooters rarely master this technique. I've never mastered it, and in fact, I've never gotten it to work right. I was always afraid of tearing up the pool table felt ....the owners hate that I'm so out of practice now that I suck royally.

    No problem. "Neighbors" don't count as cheating. There's a 100-yard rule, I think

    Actually if you're married long enough you might be spending some time over there anyway.

    No! I was hoping for the 100 yard rule and neighbors being exempt :P

    The other day we were out working in the yard, in our never ending quest to remove all the ivy between our fences. I guess she felt obligated to help us because as soon we started she was out there in a flash. Needless to say she had to wear some tight jean shorts and a t shirt. Bending over and ripping up Ivy is a tough job

    Don't get me wrong, I love my wife dearly, but I just can't help but comment on the scenery.

    It just means that all the hormones are in their proper place.

    When I stop noticing scenery, it'll mean I'm gay (look out tgpo ), or so old there's no lead in the pencil anymore. Either way, that'll suck

    When I get to that point it will mean I'm blind or dead...and I would hope the latter.
