    Thursday #270, The Summertime Blues!

    Time to wrap up Spring '08!

    Summer starts in a few days! So, what is on the agenda?

    Can we shut up the place, turn on the AC and have a pool tournament?

    --------

    I haven't had a bloody mary in eons! Would anyone object to sharing a pitcher with me?


    DONE?

    ------

    And don't get offended when the patrons yell, "Nice Rack!"

    Hmm, the one and only time - a long time ago - someone tried to teach me how to shoot pool, the first time I hit the ball, it went completely off the table into the air and nearly hit a bystander. My "instructor" then took the cue from my hand, patted my hand gently and said "How about you just watch for now, it'll be safer that way," while everyone around was still standing in stunned silence! Afterwards I heard another friend questioning "how did she even get it airborne, never mind that speed ..."

    I like the other kind of pool - the splashy kind!

    Lemonade for me, please!

    Karen - you just might have invented a new Olympic sport - "Billiards Shot-Put".

    I've never ordered anything here...is there any cranberry and soda with a lime twist about? On the rocks, of course!

    You think the pool cue is bad?

    Never, EVER be near when the mayor fires a shotgun.......

    How about a coffee and some pancakes?

    We were out target shooting, and there were about 10-15 people. We had brought various firearms, and I had brought a 12 ga. shotgun. Karen tried it out, but neither of us noticed that the forearm had gotten a little damp in a brief rainshower. Damp, polished wood + shotgun.......

    Karen loaded it, aimed, pulled the trigger, and the shotgun went over her shoulder as the recoil pulled the shotgun out of her grip.

    C&S,
    Remember, you asked for the story and there is a punchline to it.

    Less of a punch line, more of a blast pattern...

    Well ... sounds like 'the broad side of the barn' is prolly a safe place to stand
    whilst the Mayor is *shotgunnin* ...

    But I guess I'd like the full helmet and cue-ball proof VEST for the Pool contest.

    RICHARD, a large cup of coffee and a seat at the pool table for me. Maybe I'll challenge the Mayor!
