Rack 'em again Boyz.... Dec 30, '07 12:26 PM
for everyone
I found a new passion.... who'd thunk it... Playing Pool... now mind you-- I have never never ever ever played pool in a bar before... watched plenty of other's play... but never myself... Growing up I'd play pool at my grandparent's house (when we weren't using the table as a bed to sleep on) and when the video game craze hit and you actually had game rooms to go to, I'd play pool there... but we are talking at least 20 some years since my hand held a pool stick...
Well last night when my date and I didn't connect up for the night, and a co-worker of mine needed an "out" with her derk da der date... we decided to go bowling and still have a good night-- well we get there and the lanes are full-- no open lanes... so we decided to go check out THE JACK OF CLUBS which has now opened up under new management....
I get carded at the door-- now mind you, I am wellllll over the age of 41.... I felt flattered by this (I did look "cute" if I say so myself) and the door watcher called me back over about 30 minutes later and wanted to know how I got in without I.D... I reminded him I showed my I.D. and he asked my age and I told him-- he didn't believe it... I told him even if you reverse the numbers in my age I was still over the age of 21...
KM and I started playing a game of pool-- I was holding my own-- successfully moving the balls around the table and once in a while would actually get one in a hole... the first game we played I sunk the 8 ball before it was time so I lost... the second game we played, we both had all of our balls off the table and then she sank the 8 ball...
We had just ordered a new round of drinks when the waitress came up to us and said "Do you like Mexican's" ... Just like that she said it... she went on to explain that the two mexican's at the table behind us would buy our drinks if we would talk to them... I told her we would talk to them and not expect them to buy our drinks (Is buying drinks the new -- putting the steak around their necks???)... Actually they both weren't that bad.. one was good looking and the other rather "cute"..
The guys introduced themselves as "Alonzo" and "Valenine".. Alonzo must of been afraid we'd forget his name because he kept saying "I'm Aloooonnnnzzzzzoooo"... Neither spoke much english... Valentine and I went over and proceeded to play pool... Alonzo & KM proceeded chatting--she knew more spanish them I do... and Valentine and I continued playing pool... Valentine thought he'd try to show me how to shoot and when he did I would mess up... He finally backed off and I started shooting good again...
During this game of pool a major fight broke out in the club... mixture of a lot of young punks, too much beer, and youngen's feeling 10 feet tall and bullet proof.... One of the bouncers got hurt... they get the dude out side and for a while no one could get in or out of the bar... the guy wouldn't leave the door area... Some how the guy gets back in... I am near the pool table and the next thing I know this dude is charging into the bar, damn near knocked me down as two guys attempt to grab him... two girls got shoved into a door way and were hurt... Valentine at this time had to be held back because he was pissed that three of us gals were affected.... but he cooled off quickly...
We finished the game and KM and I was wondering how we were going to get away from these two fella's... It was obvious what they wanted when Valenine kept grabbing my arm trying to put my hand in places that I didn't want it to go... I finally spotted a high school classmate of mine and I went and said "HI" to him.... after several minutes I look over to KM and see these two guys have her cornered... so I head back over there....
With the exception of the fight(s) and the guys thinking because we chatted with them and played pool that we were going to jump in bed with them... I had a fun time.... Dan, my classmate, runs a Kareokee buisness and has invited us back out there tonight... and I just may do that...
Now... here's the shocker of the whole night for those that know me pretty good.... I am not much of a drinker.... I am lucky if I have 4 drinks a year... I had 4 drinks and 2 jello shots.... Let me tell you... their drinks, especially for the price you pay, are not made very strong... the jello shot(s) had more affect on me then the 4 drinks did... lol
