		<description><![CDATA[A complete cross-section of the American population can be found in pool rooms. My local hall, Eastside Billiards, had a plaque which stated “Pool and Sex: two things you don’t have to be good at to enjoy.” True. Any of our regulars would agree.

Starting off behind the bar at Eastside Billiards I had the honor of being able to call myself “the worst bartender [...]]]></description>

Please, don&#8217;t 1. a) Take coke with one of your staff. b) Also, don’t buy coke off her boyfriend in the toilets.

		<description><![CDATA[After thanksgiving theater, a.k.a. a family event, I went to play pool. At about 1:30am an &#8220;open&#8221; player, one who likes to drink and gamble at the same time, asked me for a game.
