I tend to go off at a tangent! snooker that is. |
|
| |
Sounds good, but maybe more appropriate in Halfbakery:Games or somesuch, since this isn't an idea about billiards sports in general. |
|
| |
How did I miss this idea?!?! I would *never* EVER wear a bowtie. ;-) [+] Although I appreciate the nod of the head both to myself and Willie Hoppe. |

If this were a HalfCon I would be sure to attend. |

Jinbish and I, long ago, had a pool tournament which, in terms of popular culture references, was akin to Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason acting out the climactic battle of "Robin and Marian" while consuming Withnailian quantities of sweet, sweet booze. The result was, if I remember correctly, 24-25 in favour of Jinbish. |

Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool. |
|
| |
We would *never* agree on the rules. Or the physics. |
|
| |
Only if it's made of gel-filled kevlar and contains rfid chips
that track your movements around the table, using that
information to control a robot ballet in the next room. |

For zeno's pleasure (I don't understand how he could leave it out!) we set out a track in which you can try taking an aim at the moving poolfish ball which needs to be shot through custard filled crouqet hoops with his elf.

I think the scoring system could be modified. One additional point for each level of complexity involved in hitting the ball, with a minimum number of levers and pulleys involved. 10 points if they involve clocks, goldfish, explosions, or such. |
|
| |
5000 points for the baker who can hit the ball so close to the cup that measuring its position becomes subject to quantum indeterminancy; it both is and is not in the pocket. |
|
| |
And any halfbaker found trying to use a rigid rod will be disqualified. |
|
| |
And the whole thing should sound like a pinball machine [+] |
|
| |
I found asbestos felt. Anyone have a Zippo? |
|
| |
[Susan], either you've got a filthy mind or I do. |
|
| |
The cue ball has a laser aiming system. Due to it's piezoelectric power system, however, it only works after you've hit it. |
|
| |
I am pretty sure its yours [Wagster]. Carefull or you could be blackhole paulted out of the league. |
|
| |
HAH! Brilliant, [world]. Now that needs to be half-baked. |
