Well the pool table I bought is finally is finished. This would be the pool table I bought from a bar I used to manage when I was piss drunk on St Patty's day. I find I tend to do stupid stuff when I'm drunk, is it just me?
Anyway so I bid $200 for it, never thinking I'd get it, well the never thinking part is true, but a couple of days later I got a call.
"Paul, you got the pool table" came the voice on the other end.
"Pool table, what pool table?" as the brain cell that held the memory and that was subsequently destroyed by beer and green food colouring sat and drooled quietly.
"Just come and get it before we install the new ones."
You know those ideas that seem really good when you're drunk. $1600 later, oh yes you read that correctly. I spent $1600 to move, refelt, repocket, and get the equipment for a heavy ass pool table.
"Don't worry," says the guy who did all the work, the $1400 worth of work, a new one would cost you at least $2000. But I don't want a new one. I don't want the old one. I don't play pool, I can't play pool, it is not something I enjoy or am particularly good at.
But that's okay, because you see my apartment doesn't have room for a pool table. My uncle's house, which is an hour's train ride away, does. So I spent $1600 on a pool table for my uncle to enjoy.
New warning for St P's day, "DON'T GET FUCKING BLITZED AND BUY A GODDAMN POOL TABLE!"
