    Back in the day when women were forced to play in the small room while the men used the big room.

    It was all fun and games until Ingrid “accidentally” hit a three-rail shot into her smart-ass sister’s eye.

    The real reason women weren’t allowed into the poolroom: their skirts get in the way of play.

    You’re right, everything rolls into that corner pocket to your left.

    I know it’s boring and pointless, but Mother says we must take an interest in masculine pursuits if we’re ever going to catch a husband.

    It’s billiards, guys—no corner pockets—and the ladies are playing because they are the only ones smart enough to understand the rules!

    When I said I wanted an indoor pool – this is NOT what I had in mind. And dad said, “sure, but we have to cut a few corners.”

    Shouldn’t there be a billiard’s head mounted on the wall? Can’t be a billiard room without a billiard.

    has Danish info (again, Chrome can automatically translate, perhaps with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions/) about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.

    You know, with the amount of cleavage you are showing that if you lean over the table any further you are liable to get a ball plunked in your center pocket!

    Air conditioning, electric lighting, and no smoking has cut into the need for high ceilings.

    Oh no, I never play Geoffrey. He’d take away the table if he knew I could beat him.

    Jim and Dave thought it would be fun to dress in drag and play a manly game of pool.
