interesting... (5.00 / 0) (#43)

The pool halls I hang out down here in the south are pretty intelligent. Indeed...one team I was on had at least 4 PhDs (1 physics, 2 other sciences, and me) on it.

Course it's been a while since I've been in a NY roadhouse. But the last time I was in one, my aunt and I had a pretty good time talking about Kirsten Gillibrand's run for Congress over beer and pool. ;-P

You obviously hang out in better pool halls (1.00 / 0) (#45)

than I remember. Perhaps you hang in out in "billard parlors" instead of "pool halls."

And NY roadhouse do not have pool. Or you may be mistaking "bumper pool" "pool."

In any event, my note on the nastiness of the referenced blather stands.

of the NY table and cues (metal?!?!), it coulda seconded for bumper pool (haven't shot that game since WVU undergrad). 7 foot beer stained bar tables drive me up a wall.

It is kinda interesting though...I've has some really fascinating conversations in the different pool halls I shoot in here.

But then league nights are prolly different than Saturday nights.
