November 18, 2007. The Shortstop - David E. Malone - November 16, 2007. One fine fall evening Smitty and me were doing the rounds of all of the local pool halls looking for some cash action. You could look at it as a kinda community service. Robin Hood used to take from the rich and give to the poor - we take from the rich. and it keeps us from being poor. Hi, Charlie." I said, "Anyone new in town? He knew exactly what I meant and pulled us to one side. He pointed. What speed is he? Yup", I said. I don't...

November 15, 2007. I drove to work this morning. I left the same time I always do but arrived around 20 minutes later than usual. The reason for that is simple. an inspired collection of dumbass drivers who don't know the one primary rule of the road. Don't do anything to inhibit the traffic flow.". Mr I'm too Rich to Wait in Line. Mr Last Minute Larry. I should mention here that most truck drivers are good and safe drivers and it's not their fault that they have a schedule to maintain. although how ...

July 17, 2006. Rodman - David E. Malone - July 17, 2006. Every Friday night for the past two decades, big Jerry Bailey and I take a walk down to Hagerty's Bar and Pool for a bacon-burger and a few games of pool. Anyway, we made our way to our usual table and frowned at the couple of leather jacketed teenagers who were playing on it. I looked over at the bartender, Henry and gestured pointedly at the table. Jerry just stood there glaring at them, arms akimbo. It's not discrimination." explained Jerry,...

January 2, 2008. An Atheist Talks to God. I was chatting with a good friend of mine who is an honest man and a bit of a cynic when he casually mentioned that he'd been talking to God. I was taken aback, after all he isn't even a Christian as far as I know and has said things in the past that led me to believe he didn't believe in said entity. I thought you didn't believe in God? Just like that." he said. Um what'd he say? He said, 'Hi, John. it's a remarkable day isn't it? What did you say to that? No, S...

September 7, 2007. Tribute to Luciano Pavarotti. A tenor voice for the ages - Sept 7, 2007. One day we were listening to classical music on the radio - I think Dad was doing the crossword puzzle and my sister and I were sprawled on the rug playing chess - when the announcer mentioned something about a new Italian tenor. He then played a new recording of Luciano Pavarotti singing 'Che gelida manina' from La Boheme. That's it." he said simply. "That's it.". Pavarotti's voice is imprinted on my soul. I'...

June 2, 2006. A Game at Dooley's. A Game at Dooley's - David E. Malone - June 02, 2006. It was a warm, muggy summer's day in the poolroom. The sounds were muted. a background hum of quiet conversation augmented by the buzz of the cicadas through an open window and the sharp click of the balls. It was uncomfortably warm and close but no-one thought to complain. That's the way it always was in the summer at Dooley's. His eyebrow raised quizzically, but all he said was. "Out of town.". Nate kept one eye on ...

September 23, 2006. The Curse of Sanity Lost. The Curse of Sanity Lost - David E. Malone - Sept 23, 2006. This made me curious, so I approached the room owner, Gus and asked him why it wasn't used. It's a long story.", he said cryptically. "The table is cursed.". I'd like to hear it, if it's alright with you.", I said. Well, the thing about telling a long story is that it makes a man thirsty, if you know what I mean." he said, winking. I was the bartender in those days. Yes", he said. It took him just a ...

November 23, 2007. Lord Chumly's Exhibition - David E. Malone - Nov 21, 2007. Said, Simon blankly. Pockets." said Stanley firmly. It sounds like one of those colonial abominations." said Simon doubtfully. "Those American chappies are always trying to make a perversion of the game to make it easier to play.". Exclaimed Simon. "I don't believe it. he, of all people, would not let the noble game of billiards be taken over by a mere fad of fancy.". At the prescribed time, a relaxed and cheerful Lord Chumley ...

October 10, 2007. Frank Correnti Cigars - David E. Malone - Oct 10, 2007. Any cigar smokers out there? I don't smoke and my wife quit about 10 years ago. but she still likes to puff on a good Cuban cigar on special occasions. I suspect she enjoys standing around outside after a good meal with some of our cigar smoking friends - I know she doesn't inhale the smoke, just enjoys the taste. Http:/ http:/ www.correnticigars.com/. I said something intelligent like,. Um is this where we can buy cigars?
