Or that they let him drink beer. And play pool.

wow

Andy and Chalkie are both wearing brown shoes.

That’s why stand up comics perform in nightclubs to a bunch of boozers who laugh at anything as long as they are hooched up and schnockered.

True !  One of the channels I run when in the car is the comedy station out of Denver (103.1). Many of the shorts are pulled from live shows and I honestly can’t see what they are laughing so uproariously hard at when all I hear is someone straining to be funny. Some will bluster in a loud and hyped way as a means of bolstering lame material. Guys like Emo Philips and Rodney Dangerfield have a more modest delivery that carries pure Gold…

Maybe we should look for guys called ‘Fats’. Gotta’ be a handicap there.

What’s the difference between Snooker and Pool? And do you you use a different size table for each?

The kid ran the table.

I hope Afficionado is OK. No post from him yet today.

No kidding, huh Andy? :D

Careful you don’t put Chalkie’s eye out with that cue stick, Andy.

A child shall lead them.

At least Andy didn’t kick the box the kid was standing on.

Maybe he was playing against Vincent ‘Vinnie’ Lauria with the Balabushka that he got from Eddie ‘Fast Eddie’ Felson.

Late? It’s still light out. Now being in a pub might be an issue.

“The Kid” is pretty good.

I still think one of the best games of pool I’ve ever seen was Jack Klugman versus Jonathan Winters on “The Twilight Zone”!

I’m still working on changing my avatar to an insult to Guitar Bob.

Jimmy Wetch (born April 23, 1968 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is an American professional pool player nicknamed “The Kid”. He was at one time a feared road player, later becoming an accomplished tournament pro, having won or placed in numerous competitions. He was ranked fifth in the world by the Pro Billiards Tour in 1996

Does anyone know what’s become of Number 3?

Sounds like a take on Ronnie “Rocket” O’Sullivan…

I bet Andy said some words that were not appropriate for children to hear.

I was hustling pool when I was 11 years old. I looked a lot younger than I was.

Ronnie Roberts is Flo’s age. Look at the July 5th strip.
