Anybody out there know any really cool pool nicknames? I heard there was a guy
named Tuscalooka Squarrely. I'd like to know any other cool or wacky ones.

At a poolroom in Baldwin, NY, there was a guy nicknamed by his peers, "Tommy
One-Stroke". Now you'd think that this was because he only took one practice
stroke, right? Nope. Tommy, ya see, had had two previous strokes (the medical
kind), and everyone figured one more would definitely be the last of him. Not
bad, huh?

One of the more recent one that I've heard was "commode". When I ask why
do they call him commode, I was told it's because he sh*ts so many balls
in.

The first two require no explination, but Slick Sleeves does. He always wore
long sleeve shirts, hardly ever changed them, and had a perpetual cold.

I also think everyone who works for the Post Office should be called either
Zip Code, or Bullets.

Well Jim that reminds me of a joke I know.

You know what it means when the flag is at half mast at the post office?

It means they are hiring!! :)

I forgot one of my favorites.

There's a guy here they call Kevorkian, because you're committing suicide if
you ever play him.

Hospital Tom. He had chronic stomach problems, and was in and out of
the hospital. Guys at work say he spent the mornings in the john,
moaning. Rumor had it that he could knock the seat cushion right off a
chair.

"Middletown Whitey" is a good buddy of mine and Player rep for me. He's
from Middletown Ohio but has been a road agent most of his life. He
started out as a "Carnie" I believe. I gave his son Tommy Stevenson the
nickname _duh_ "Blackie".

Also from the area: Gary "Spud" Spaeth, "Pig" Dickerson, "Doc" Holladay,
Thorney, At least 4 "Cincinnati Kids", "Big Dumb" & his brother Carl the
"truth", "Shad-Rock", "Double Tom", "Wild Bill", "Fat Pat", "Filipino
Joe", the "Indian", Joe "out-a-town" Brown, "Patch" ... I'm sure I'm
forgetting many more as pool players do tend to have some colorful
nicknames.
BTW the original poster mis-mentioned Marshall "Tuscaloosa Squirrel"
Carpenter, one of the best One-Pocket players EVER!
