An Open Letter to the Bearded Gentleman Playing Billiards at Zeno's Bar

An Open Letter to the Bearded Gentleman Playing Billiards at Zeno's Bar
Dear Bearded Gentleman Playing Billiards at Zeno's Bar,

Have you seen the state of Zeno's Bar lately? Of course you have - you were there. It's cramped, it's smokey, it's loud. It's already a pretty unfavorable atmosphere to be enjoying your weekend in when it's that busy, particularly on graduation weekend (thanks but no thanks, alumni - go back home). So, all of this taken into account, along with the fact that it was my first legal outing at said bar, I really didn't need you poking me with your pool cue so you could make your precious shot. Were a significant amount of money on the line, sure, I'll move aside a few inches and think nothing of it. But you were being a douchebag, for no reason. Not even a friendly, "Hey, a little room?" was uttered, which I would have much respected. Do I expect you to know that it's one of my first trips out as a 21er? Of course not. Do I expect you to have to plan around my particularly large frame in the close quarters of the Zeno's underbelly? Hell no, nobody would. But a little courtesy nudge would have been nice. Not a courtesy poke-in-the-eye, you tool - that's for Chumley's.

Completely unnecessary. Zeno Rules... Playboy says so. No offense, but I trust them over you. Posted 05/22/2008 11:22 PMReply

Hey man, I wasn't crapping on Zeno's, just the guy's lack of courtesy. I respect guys who are good at billiards (which this guy was, to be fair), but I don't respect douchebags.

In a related note, YOU'RE unnecessary.

Dude, did you even notice that the pool table at Zeno's is 1) 1/2 the size of a normal pool table, 2) requires the use of cues 1/2 the size of normal cues, since it's about one foot away from the wall, and 3) is stuck in the farthest back corner of the bar so that it interferes as little as possible with everyone else's good time? Seriously, if the pool player is in your way, YOU are the one required to move. You'll figure this out by 22 (I hope). Posted 05/24/2008 09:34 AMReply

Precisely my point: don't you think that if the pool table is bar sized rather than regulation and tucked out of the way, this dude would have had to go out of his way to be knocking me with his cue, considering I was sitting at a reasonable distance? Besides, even if I was sitting too close, that doesn't give the guy a free pass to be an ****. Posted 05/24/2008 11:48 AMReply

Typically the people who play pool in a crowded bar absolutely SUCK at pool. Ever notice that? Posted 05/24/2008 1:58 PMReply

Erroneous: Youre a bitch. Go be a homo and drink your miller lite at the g-man if you got beef with zeno's and the zeno's crowd. Posted 05/25/2008 9:53 PMReply

Jesus, I had no idea my bearded friend had so many boyfriends.

Learn to read. I rather like Zeno's. Just didn't like the guy in question.

Unless maybe YOU'RE that guy, in which case, quit being a bitch. I doubt it though, you can barely read a blog post; I can't imagine you're any good at pool either.
