HubCap: Love arrives pretty much on cue
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 8/21/2006

Note: This blog has nothing to do with JonBenet Ramsey.

When my father was a youngster with nothing to do, he spent a lot of his spare time in a pool hall in his hometown of Emmetsburg, Iowa. It was there that one afternoon, Fast Eddie Felson (the real Fast Eddie Felson, not Paul Newman, who played Fast Eddie in The Hustler and The Color of Money) hit him with a ball.

Fast Eddie wanted someone to sit on the curb just outside the door of the pool hall while he jumped a ball over all the tables in the hall and rolled it into the volunteer perched outside. My father was that volunteer. The ball jumped all the tables and slowly rolled and hit him in the small of his back. Thus did my father touch greatness.

That's the best pool hall story I know. Today, I read the best billiards-related love story ever. (In saying that, I realize now that I have not read very many billiards-related love stories; however, I do not feel that that should diminish the value of this one.) Samm Diep, of Aurora, wrote about her engagement to her fiance, Chisolm, and posted it on the Aurora South YourHub.com site. Click here to check it out, even if you're not into romance stories -- remembering their faces might save you from getting hustled out of a few hundred bucks at a pool table somewhere in the metro area.
