Azur
WOW!  That comment is a jolt of adrenaline, Azur.  Thank you muchly.  I've been trying to work out what you mean by my voice coming through and I think I now understand.  I haven't written an article or story for yonks - my excuse is that life gets in the way, but I think it is sheer funk.  Your comment has awakened the writing me.

mneme
Thanks mneme.  I had to wait a few days before seeing the humorous side of it mneme; in fact when I see him now in the pool hall and we greet each other, he still grins that grin that means he knows what I'm thinking.  He got over it, so will I.

John MacNab, this was an exceptional read I think
i don't think you realise how well your voice comes through. In my humble opinion you should adapt this voice for your fiction and short stories. Perhaps you are already, and do remember I am just giving an opinion here and don't know much ;-). I suppose what I am saying is let your voice come through. I will send you an email soon-ish. I have a couple of thoughts about it all.

Hi johnmacnab
only a serious pool player would turn something like a d-ckectomy to his advantage - hats off old chum for writing it so humorously:)

Whacky & Bo
And another reason why I got thrashed, Whacky & Bo, is because I'm still a crap player, but I'll get better.  Thanks for reading, and give Bo a pat from me.

majroj
More like + 20, majroj.   I cringed whenever I stood behind him as he stretched over the table for a shot - too much imagination is my problem.

pat
As you point out Pat, there are some games I can still play - like leaving the seat up among others.   He is welcome to his 10 game win - I don't even mind if he calls it a crushing defeat.

So, you're saying he psyched you out with graphic images...
sounds like a real pool shark to me.  On the other hand, there are other games you can still play if function follows form -- so you may get the last laugh after all.  :)pat
