I had a beautiful shot in Eight-Ball today. A solid was right near the corner pocket, but the other guy placed the cue so it was just behind a stripe. He thought I wouldn't be able to make the shot. But I jumped the cue over the stripe and hit my solid into the corner pocket.

Had a shot like that in Nine-Ball, too. I had to hit the 3, but the 6 was right in front of the cue ball. Managed to jump the cue over the 6, hit the 3, and nudged it into the corner pocket. Wicked cool.

I love pool because it provides a real-world application of geometry. wink.gif

Every time Brandon brings me to his friend's house they end up playing pool for like four hours while I'm just sitting there half-watching, half staring blankly into space. Same when we go visit my brother..

I suck at pool, but I play Nine-Ball on my cell phone..

My mom was an trophy winning tournament pool player. Sad to say she didnt pass on the skills. I love to play though. I just suck.

I love playing pool! I'm sort of good too, when I'm not playing it with guys I happen to be quite fond of x_x I always screw up around them.

^ Pool, a.k.a. Billiards.

QUOTE
Billiards is a family of games played on a table, with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.

All billiard games are generally regarded to have evolved into indoor games from outdoor stick and ball games.[1] The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart, meaning "mace", an implement, similar to a golf club, which was the forerunner to the modern cue.

The word "pool" generally refers to pocket billiard games such as 8-ball, 9-ball, straight pool and one-pocket. The word "pool" comes from "poolrooms," where people gambled off track on horse races. They were called poolrooms as money was "pooled" to determine the odds. Because such rooms commonly provided billiard tables, pool became synonymous with billiards by association. The terms "pool" and "pocket billiards" are now interchangeable.

I like playing pool online... but I think I would suck at it in real life. My boyfriend promised to take me out to play pool, but has never gotten around to it. Grr.
