What constitutes a 'higher' ranking team?? Is this about speed? Because if it is I'm NOT in. I think the trail will be hard enough without having to beat the clock.:-? EXPLAIN YOURSELF

Oh, I Get It, You Mean The Game Of Pool. Ok I Misunderstood

So you're both in, yes?

So you're both in, yes?

WHY NOT? BUT WHAT DO WE WIN??

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET.

I suck at pool.
Come on, you know you wanna...

My sister doesn't play pool either. We will lose before we even get started. Maybe we will watch :).

I'll take that as a yes. Excellent.

Count me in, I was looking to do another long distance hike. So we should each throw in a few hundred and then the most points gets the purse on the Big K.

Few hundred huh? Guess I am too poor for that..oh well.

no $$$...let's keep it fun,. bragging rights only. And you're in, mambo. Stop trying to sneak out the back door. If the two of yu are really that bad, then we'll split you up and team each of you up with someone good. Although something tells me you don't suck as bad as you say you do. My hustler radar is going off.

I am down for it...Any excuse to get me into a pub is AOK with me. We would need to figure out how to keep track of the points, since we are all starting at different times and hike a different paces. Maybe we can use a WB thread to keep tally.

I might give it a go. How are we gonna do the logistics?

I think a WB thread to keep track would be a great idea. We can use the registers at the shelters to arrange matches and such. It'll be a blast.

Me? A hustler? Nah...I am too sweet for that. ;)

Of course you are, darling. I'm watching you...lol

Just watch your drink....

Just watch your drink....
Don't even try it, I'm on to you!

Just keeping you on your toes....

Just keeping you on your toes....
We'll settle this on the felt, you and I...

Assuming you will make it there.

Oh, I'll make it. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it.

Yawn...wasn't worried.

We can have an exhibition match at whatever bar is nearest to springer, just to see what you've got.

I don't have a thing. Seriously. I have played pool maybe 4 times.

It'll be fun. It's really more about hanging around having beers and laughs.

I don't have a thing. Seriously. I have played pool maybe 4 times.
By the end of your hike you'll be an ace.

I think she's lying, I sense a hustler

All will be revealed in due time...

I don't lie! Geez if I keep being seen with you two like this people might think I actually like you :P

Bad for my reputation

I don't lie! Geez if I keep being seen with you two like this people might think I actually like you :P
Just follow your heart, mambo...don't listen to what people say.

Or that you are in cahoots (sp?)!:D

Take short odds till you learn their style.

lol. I am too good for them. They only wish.

Are you hiking in '07, siamyoji? Want in on the league?

I don't lie! Geez if I keep being seen with you two like this people might think I actually like you :P

We both know the truth Mambo, and that's all that matters;)

Are you hiking in '07, siamyoji? Want in on the league?

I don't think the logistics have really been worked out, but at least if we know that we have a number of players, its worth trying

You think they hate us now, kirk? wait till we take home the gold in the '07 nobo at pool tounament!

Gold walkers?

That's gold BLAZERS to you. lol

Actually I just insulted your age.

I like the cut of your jib, kid.

Actually I just insulted your age.
Do you want me to pick up a fake ID for you on the way down in '07, or will you be 21 by then?

Cut of your jib? Modern english please.

I will turn

22 on the trail

Cut of your jib? Modern english please.
You whippersnappers don't know proper english when you hear it.

22 on the trail
When's your b.day?

Explain so that I may be enlightened (was that too big of a word for you?)

My b-day is in june.

22 on the trail

A young flower

Yeah but my sister will be with me. She is very protective...

I don't know, whippersnapper is a pretty big word...

Yeah but my sister will be with me. She is very protective...
I am very protective of Kirk as well...Don't lead him on and break his heart, ok?

Yeah but my sister will be with me. She is very protective...

22 is old enough to take care of itself, but its always good to have some one to watch your back. Can she play pool?? ( a little?)

I am very protective of Kirk as well...Don't lead him on and break his heart, ok?

I don't think she's leading me on LS, you can't fake these kind of emotions.

Itself? I think I have been insulted.

She probably knows as much as I do.

and...I will probably break both your hearts.

That should have read YOURSELF. And..... you'd never do that to me.;)

I break boys' hearts all the time.

Those are just boy's. It's alittle different with men:D

Are you hiking in '07, siamyoji? Want in on the league?

No I have domestic responsibilities that will limit my long distance hiking. I can be found lurking on the many PA trails though. DWG is one of my favs. When passing through give me a shout and I may be able to assist.

men:D

Men? Pffffft

Men? Pffffft
Your feelings betray you, young jedi....

We're the only three doofuses on this thread...

Actually there are 4 on this thread.

You're right. I forgot. Have you been working on your game there, MT? Better get crackin'.

I am just going to rely on my beginner's luck next year. :D

I like your style!

So when is your start date? I just might have to get in on this.

april 1st 07

I can see it now....."Really Mom, the reason I have been taking my baby sister bar hopping is so we can practice playing pool....."

awwww she wouldn't care! ;)

awwww she wouldn't care! ;)

What goes on on the trail stays on the trail;)

It's a perfectly valid excuse...

Well Mambo..if you think YOU suck, you've never seen ME play!

Well Mambo..if you think YOU suck, you've never seen ME play!
You're in! Start practicing! Happy St. Paddy's!

I am in...Not too sure how this is all going to work out, but sounds like a good idea on paper!!!

At the very least it's an excuse for all of us to hang out in a bar and be silly.

I've been working on a system. I won't go into it until I've hashed it all out, of course, we will be relying heavily on the 'honor system'.

At the very least it's an excuse for all of us to hang out in a bar and be silly.

I agree...but why would we need excuses. I think we will deserve it after all the distances we will be covering on foot!!! :D

Im no good at pool ... but count me in anyway

alright! bring it on!

Another victim of my power

Another victim of my power
who's that?

Hey Y'll...good idea. I'll be sure to study up on the physics of pool while I'm trudging along.

Hey - cool idea! Count me in!

I'm in, but not very good.
