Me as well. However, lately, I have been getting into table tennis.

Say hi to Matt Chandler for me. I miss those Madison to Indy trips with Pound.

i have seen steve "just messing around" on his personal heated billiard table, doing that three-ball thing he plays, and i know i sure as hell would never put money against him, unless the guy he was playing was like one of those dudes on TV.

er... i mean, yes, you should play against him, just call me so i can come by EA, and remind me to bring money for betting.

This sounds like what a guy might say before he hustles you out of all your money.

This is EXACTLY what a guy says right before he loses a game to you. Then he gets desperate and says "I really need that money. Play me again. Double the money."

and he loses again.

And then, just one more game, he says, with his money in your pocket.

And he takes your money, your car, the last swallow of your beer, and your girlfriend.

If you look around a pool table and you can't spot the rube....

Yep, new guy=busbus.

Back on a somewhat related track. How's Andrew Greenberg at pool? I kid. Ever get back to Indy?

ha, em, ha, ha, ha

I am so amazed that this forum made it past one page.

"We had never met [producer}Steve Albini before. He had this reputation of being a dastardly asshole, but he was nothing but nice. Right off the bat he said, If you beat me at a game of pool, I'll make your album for free. If I beat you, you pay me double. We were paying him $100,000. Anyone who's got the stones to gamble something that large must be an amazing pool player, so everyone said no. We booked two weeks there [Pachyderm Studio, Minnesota]. It was in February, I believe. That's the coldest I've ever been in my life - it was like an ice planet. We were in total isolation and locked indoors, because if you stepped outside you'd die. That album was really recorded live. There were barely any overdubs, except for vocals. I was finished with the drums in three days. As the session went on, Kurt got a little worse. I think he started using drugs after we had finished recording the music. When I was down there working with them it was great, then it got a little uncomfortable. I like In Utero more than Nevermind because there was nothing in between the band and the tape. When we turned It In to the record company, they called back and said, Is this a joke? This Isn't your next record. We basically said, We are Nirvana. That is our new record." - Dave Grohl

Anyway, I'm pretty amazed too that this forum made it past one page. And I didn't asked Steve because I didn't even really know that Steve is posting here, which is fucking great. I just wanted to make a more interesting and weirder thread. And stupider too. Thanks for all your replies so far!

hey new amigo, your avatar makes me puke

Have a nice one.

I thought this thread was titled, "How Good is Steve's Stool?"

That would be totally weird, wouldn't it.

So, wait. How good is it?
