    Another pool party where no one brought a bathing suit.

    At the end of the party several lost their heads, the last entertainment was with the guillotine.

    A long, long time ago in a country far, far away …

    The pizza delivery was much more than 30 minutes.

    In Napoleon’s time in France, billiards was mostly a woman’s game, something to do when it was too rainy to go out for a walk. Josephine had a very luxurious pool table at Malmaison.

    A good example of why Strip Pool never caught on.

    I heard the top prize in this Redemption Circle is a trip AWAY from the guillotine.

    Lord Redcoat misunderstands the pool term “scratch”.

    So now we’re talking about this

    I’m starting to lose my confidence

    No one ever says a word about

    So much that happens in the world

    Dance dance revolution

    All we’re gonna get

    Unless it falls apart

    So I say: go go go, go down

    Let it fall down

    I’m ready for the end

    Why do the dogs in these old paintings always look scared?

    DOG: It’s hardly worth waiting for the crappy crumbs that fall off this table. Maybe I’ll just bite this dude’s leg…

    The Game of Billiards

    https://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/detail.php?id=82890 

    has my recently added details about this 1861, oil on panel (OK, the panel part is an educated guess) painting.

     

    https://www.the-athenaeum.org/people/detail.php?ID=1872 

    http://gerberfineart.co.uk/2014/auguste-serrure/ 

    both have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, Chrome can automatically translate linked pages). This is the first work by him used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2177 (April 9, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    If the lady in blue keeps teasing the dog with the chalk cube, no one will blame him if he finally bites her.

    A quiet evening of billiards while the peasants starve. With practice, you don’t even hear them banging on the door.
