There are a few magic things about the number seven.
There are seven stars in the big dipper:
There are seven days in a week:
There are seven notes in an octave:
There are seven spots on a ladybug:
And now, I’m ranked a “7″ in 9-ball according to APA Handicap rules! YAY!
See that “7″. That’s right baby, I’m back to a 7. I’m no longer a 6; no way. I’m now a SEVEN.
I’m a “10″ if you’re counting in a septenary system.
What does being a “7″ mean? It means I’m a bad-ass. Don’t try to play pool against me because I’ll wipe the felt with you. It means I only have “8″ and “9″ left to go before I conquer the world with my billiard geniusity.
The skill levels go from 1-9 – the handicap is in place so that anyone can win. Anyone except people who play against me, that is.
Whew, I feel better after that bragathon. Tomorrow maybe I won’t be so full of hubris.
Is my “cousin” dave baker on your pool team or is it another dave baker?
Christine, why yes it is. Peter, Tracy, Dave and I all work together. He’s a blast.
that is crazy! no comparing stories now okay…
Also my birthday is the on the 7th and I was born in 1974. Lucky sevens. You have a birthday in like eight days!
And now it’s just 7 days until my birthday… Counting down to… 37. What a prime age to be (pin intended).
I need to get back playing pool – we have a table and everything, but I don’t play enough.
I never knew that about lady bug spots. I guess I figured that the amount varried. Must be a union thing, or something like that.
