I call fake. Look at the guys hand when he jumps on his friend. His hand makes contact with the pool table causing the smack sound. I did something like this once to fool people I hit my face. The blood, who knows what they had ready in the bathroom to make that mess.

note the beer pong cups on the pool table...

I just thought of the perfect place in Los Angeles to do our meet up: Hollywood Billairds. I used to be a regular there from 2000 to 2005, and the place is very large for a Los Angeles bar (most of them are tiny caves in a strip mall.). It's known for being a pool hall with two floors of pool tables. You can reserve a section for a private party, but believe me that's all a waste of money.

There's also Red Lion Tavern, which is way smaller than "Billiards", but has its charm. It's rustic and fun. I had my one of my weekend long 30th B-Day Parties there.

I piked these two spots because they're as east as you can get in LA without it getting sketchy or some place I think can manage our needs for a Sift-Up. Unfortunately both of them are a bit further north for those of you coming from San Diego, but take it from me, south and east is not a place you want to be. South and west? Yes. East and north? Yes. East and south? Fuck no.

Good lord. If they have enough money for that, wouldn't they have enough money to put the pool table in a game room? Why be so ostentatious about it?


Reminds me of the old joke: Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they can...

slightly wrong title..

shouldn't this be Amazing Pool Shots as he's using a pool table and pool balls?

IIRC billiard balls/tables are totally different.

Ok, so I actually have the "pleasure" (pleasure? really? Um, no.) of being the person on here who's known Zifnab the longest out of anyone and that's due to actually working together in real life. That means I know stuff.

Oh, I know stuff.

TRUE: Zif loves the badminton and the volleyball. He's also really shitty at both and thinks he tries the better he'll get. Just like the time he broke his #$%^in' ankle! Your serve! Yeesh.

FALSE: There is a chain hanging on his dragon tattooed dangle.

TRUE: Sorry, there's no chain --and I really wish he hadn't shown me.

TRUE: His pool table has a massive Pink Floyd Division Bell poster hanging by it. As soon as Zif's losing a game of pool, he turns on the blinky red lights in the eyes to distract his opponent.

TRUE: He cheats at everything, the bastard.

FALSE: He's a furry freak.

TRUE: He's LARPer and he's the one on the left http://www.fasthack.com/images/weblog/2007/01/dnd-cosplay-2.jpg

FALSE: He slams his phone down at the office after every phone call.

TRUE: He ends every phone call with "yeah, with YOUR MOM!"

FALSE: He's balding.

TRUE: He shaves.....eeeeevvvveeerrrryyyywhere.

FALSE: He laughs maniacally when people nuke fish in the microwave in the office kitchen (oh, the smell!!)

TRUE: He laughs maniacally when the guy next to him in the office says 'pork'. Seriously, WTF?

FALSE: His favorite winter sport is hockey.

TRUE: His favorite winter sport is women's curling (thanks to me introducing him to the great Kelley Law.... on her hands and knees... screaming "HARDER!" Awesome. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/46/Kelleylaw.jpg/200px-Kelleylaw.jpg

FALSE: Zif is Canadian and proud of it.

TRUE: Zif was born in Seattle, but loves to say 'aboot'.

But seriously, congrats on the roast here, Ziffy. Can't wait until you change your phone greeting to "That's what she said!"

Dick.

1. He forgot the best weapon in the Halo universe-- plasma grenades.

2. Putting your weapons on mom and dad's pool table is tacky. I like it.

3. This kid is going to be a hit when he goes to Cosplay conventions.

For those totally unfamiliar with Snooker, let me explain a couple of points: Putting the black earns you 7 points, but you'll have to put one red before putting another.

So there really is only ONE way to get 147. you have to put all the balls in exactly this order. red,black,red,black.... and so on until all reds are down, then you HAVE to do yellow,green,brown,blue,pink and finish it of with black. ONLY that order. He could NOT, for instance, pop down the blue or something in the middle there, it HAS to be in this particular order.

Now, most of you have probably tried pool. And if you think pool is hard (like me) try just looking at a snooker table, its about twice as big, and the balls are smaller, and the holes are f¤%&&ing IMPOSSIBLE to put into. Not only are they smaller, but unlike a pool table, they have these rounded edges that makes it even harder.

So when I said this is hard, I really, really mean it. Only an elite few in the world can do this, and it doesnt happen often. Even in big star games like this reaching 100 is considered really, really good. The fact that O'sullivan does this one in 6 and a half minutes, and another one in 5 minutes and 20 seconds, makes him one of the coldest sons'o'bitches on the whole planet IMO, and its one of the greatest sports achievements ever.

Points for the various colors:

red-1

yellow-2
green-3
brown-4
blue-5
pink-6
black-7

Every color, except red, gets placed back on the table, for as long as there are reds left, so you COULD do red-blue,red-yellow, red-black and so on, except then you are "using up" reds to put low-scoring balls, so to make 147, you have to start with red-black,red-black etc.

When all the reds are down, the remaining balls, have to be done in the order of their points, from 2 to 7.

What is up with the massive pockets on that table?

I watched it again, and, I repeat, it really looks like a miniature pool table. I'm surprised nobody else noticed it.

That pool table looked smaller than normal in the zoomed out shots.

"Of course it's totally useless in a real game, and look how screwed up his pool table is from all of those hard downward strikes."

The showboating shots with the accessories are useless in a real pool game, true, but the cue ball control that he developed will definitely come in handy.

Yeah it's real. If you've ever caught some trick shot pool on TV, these are some of the "easier" more basic tricks.

This was the first rock song I ever noticed. My family was staying at the kind of campground with a small game room. There was a pool table, a jukebox, and a bunch of penniless kids who wanted to shoot pool but with no money for the pool table.

We spent hours in there trying to shoot pool with just a cue, cueball, and this song on repeat 24/7. Good times, good times.
