The Original O'l Farts Club.

[Unca Walt]

My Uncle Max used to shoot with Fats in Chicago at pool tournaments.
Both the Marsh boys Max and Tom both excellent in pool

Did I tell you the story of how I beat Minnesota Fats in an exhibition 9-Ball game? I have the cue-ball to this day.

There was a grand opening of some dept store and they had a table set up. I showed up with an acquaintance to see what was going on just as Fats said he needed someone from the audience to play him.

Everybody was waving, and I just stepped through the ropes and picked up a pool cue. He turned, startled, and said, "Looks like we have a volunteer! You want to go first?"

I knew I was dead if I broke them, so I said:

"You break."

"Then you don't get to shoot!"

The crowd roared with laughter while my sperm curdled. Fats crashed the rack -- balls went absolutely everywhere. But in.

My turn now. Firm lip, chin up, bowels dissolving... I saw an easy shot and took it. Shot another. I was not planning on the next shot each time, just shooting to get it in and then go see where the cue ball was. Lining up on a third ball...

"THIS GUY IS A STRAAAAAIIGHT SHOOTER!"

I looked at him, and he took out an enormous handkerchief and blew his nose. This made his belly rise up a full six inches and drop down again. <-- To the applause of the crowd.

Now that I was fully concentrated, somehow I got the fourth ball in. Then missed.

Fats clearly felt like he needed to show who's who and Bob's yer uncle, so bingety-bang-pock-crack-zing in about thirty seconds, there was the last ball slap in front of a corner pocket with the cue ball about eight inches away.

Instead of simply sinking it straightaway, he did a three-bank shot to the far end and back. It hit the eight ball in.

And then the cue ball followed it. I won.

I distinctly heard Fats say, "Shit!"

But the crowd saw it as a masterful finish: No balls left on the table.

My acquaintance (later a screw in a prison) joined the crowd clustering around Fats -- and without my knowledge, palmed the cue ball out of the corner pocket.

He handed it to me in the parking lot. It still has the blue marks on it.

I got mine for about $110. Had to be shipped because the commies that run Massachusetts only allow certain types of vape devices and for some reason, dry herb vapes are not approved. Smash and grab? No rules enforced there but God forbid you try to run a business…

Great price for a good vape and wtf is up with that legalize?

Ehhh - Nope - just a pacemaker - followed by some plug-in gadget - that talks to the pacemaker - and can relay statistics about me heart to a cardiologist -

I am pretty afraid of socialized medicine after hearing about some of the experiences suffered by those who are subjected to it.
Better than no medical by far but doesn't make me want to vote for it.

Have you tried a suppository?

Boofing it seeems so.............unnecessary?

Or is that the social way to do it now?

Kind of like a enema bar or maybe added into that experience somehow.

Now I don't want you to get nervous, but I gotta tellya I own shares in the company that makes the plug-in gadget.

That said, I may be tattling... but we can now control you with signals we send to the pacemaker. If you have a sudden craving for cheese, or want a ride on the Underground to Picadilly... now you know why.

Just sayin'.

For many, there is a day when a pack of smokes is no longer worth it.
I quit many years ago 1987 Apr13th, funny how I remember that day. My spouse who was a fairly heavy user of tobacco had to quit after second bout with pneumonia that landed her in intensive care and almost died on me. The doctor said she would not be so lucky the next time.

Sorry that your getting pain that's making life difficult.

Well - looking back - I was born and immediately around the Old Holborn rolling tobacco - since rolling 'baccy' - was my Dad's lifetime hobby - (he lived to be 81) - and so it became mine too - the familiar scent of that brand has permeated my life ever since - mostly mixed with hash or 'erb for over half a century now - but since my lungs are still in relatively good shape - so says the doctors and the x-rays - I'm not gonna tempt fate - and take this already 3 week abstention from it - to totally quit - and so set a better example to my kids and myself - and save a whole lotta wonga - in the process - since current prices are pushing £1 per gram -

Yeah you can work your way up to light weight training, at the gym they called it circuit weight training and even though you were lifting weights it was consdered aerobic.

I've been what I call 'super-setting' - when weight training these last 3 years - usually alternating push then pull exercises - without much if any rest between sets - so keeping my heart rate up - and benefiting from the cardio effects of consistent exercise - whilst also pumping the muscles with higher repetition push/pull technique - using more bodyweight than metal free weights lately -

Back in the 90's I used to teach circuit training and boxercise classes - amongst many others - and found this way of gaining fitness and strength at the same time - very effective -

Around two years ago I to come home with a halter monitor for 30 days.
A small electronic device which snapped into a holder ,held in place with glue.
I show my Honey, She asks a question and I say let me find out.
I touch the monitor and ask the monitor the question .
She did not believe me .
I then said the Dr. wanted me to be active in a normal day to day activity wise.
I said the Dr. wanted me to have martial relations no more than three times but no less than twice a week.
Didn't believe that either.

They didn’t give you one of these to take home?

Speed Racer
Dark Shadows (Soap Opera Vampire show)
Rod Serling's Night Gallery
The original Batman (with Adam West)
The Green Hornet (with Bruce Lee as Kato)

Kung Fu
Perry Mason
FBI
Rat Patrol

Massachusetts is weird. A ‘Republican’ governor shutdown tobacco vape shops 5 or 6 years ago when kids were buying bootleg vape carts online and getting ‘popcorn lung’. Screwed over many small biz owners in the process. Then they banned all flavored tobacco. For a ‘blue’ state, it sure is friendly with big donors as opposed to small business owners. You can’t smoke menthol cigs but you can get body parts removed from your child. I hate the so-called leaders here…

The diluent used in the vape carts vary, but recently they were using Vitamin E Acetate for that purpose and gave a bunch of folks lipid pneumonia, some of who died.

Sold by a rascal that some of ya'll may remember as Drew Jones, aka Mr Extractor, aka Connoisseur Concentrates.

Best of all I will be making Potato Soup for supper.

Taking this advice on this glorious morning. Us old gals are on our way out for walkies.




Hoping all y'all old farts have a most enjoyable day.

Was it a horse dressed like Zorro but hit people over the head with a guitar? I can still here the ka bong noise. Most of this old stuff is on YouTube.
