Bennie Conway used to own my parents' house and also the Kling and Allen pool hall downtown. On the 3rd floor of our house, one of our bedrooms had a pool table, an old chandelier and a fireplace. On the wall near the door were signatures of famous pool players.. Willie Mosconi, Minnesota Fats.. i don't really remember. I taped the area where the signatures were and told the new owners to not remove the paper without pro help.


I loved pool and had the opportunity to practice every afternoon in a pool hall midway between downtown and the plaza. i payed for the privilege to practice on a really large table.. but not much.. just gave the owner something to do for an hour or two.

For an hour or two, he should have bought you the pool table!

He paid that kind for money for that ugly as hell table?

I could have told him it would get scratched.

A fool and his money.

So he pays $73,000 for the table, and you support him suing for $219,000?

I can almost, almost, see him getting a refund or a repair of the table, but why should he profit by $140,000?

True Story:

If you've knocked around in Cajun Country very much, one thing you notice pretty quickly as a young man is that the girls mature at a very early age. I've seen 13-year old girls in bars, you would have sworn were 18 or 19.

Four of my friends had rented a 4BR house in Alexandria, cleared the dining room out and installed a pool table. Just a typical bachelor house, populated by guys in their early and mid-twenties.

Anyway, they decided one Friday night to do a bar drag down in Avoyelles Parish. Dale was the first guy to really connect (which wasn't hard to predict, Dale looked a lot like Tom Selleck, at least until his hair fell out) and he walked out of the bar with this good-lookin' little raven-haired gal in a miniskirt and a pair of FM heels.

He took some ribbing from the guys, who had to step over discarded male and female clothing from the front door to the pool room. The last piece of apparel found, was a pair of leopard print bikini panties on the pool table, along with an incriminating stain on the pool table felt.

Dale didn't mind, he was stricken. He certainly wanted to meet up with the young lady again and he had her phone number in his wallet. He certainly was looking forward to the next weekend. About all he could talk about was this wonderful girl he had met last week.

That is, until he asked one of the Avoyelles guys he worked with, about her family. He was told the family was pretty good, but don't go messin' round the girl, since she wasn't but 16.

They put 25-year old guys in jail in Louisiana, for impregnating 16-year old girls.

Ol' Dale sweated that one for two months.

And he never bar-hopped in Avoyelles Parish, again. Not ever.

and here is the table that was on the 3rd floor..

pool table (it was possible to get it up and down from there). I found the gentleman who played pool, particularly in the country, the nicest guys i ever met.



the guys in the local bars were pretty scummy tho.

Interesting story, Jolly.

Now what was the name of that bar?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Out of business for several years, the bar was Curl's Encounter, but the locals just called it Curl's.
