  • True, I spent about five minutes trying to fit xylophone in somehow

    Comment


    • A brilliant cheer denied Ebdons frame, green held in jaws. Ken led motionless now, only peters questions rose. Still time under Virgos watch...xylophonists yawned zestfully
      You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

      • Xylophonists! Very clever!

        • After becoming considerably disharmonious, everyone finally gained harmony in jubilant, keen loud music – not only percussionists; quite raucous trombonists, upbeat violinists, wacky xylophonists, yielding zestfully.

            • Very good Statters, but it is supposed to be about Snooker!

              • "Absolutely brilliant!" Cried Drago. Ebdons foul gifted Higgins in, "just keep leading" mentioned Nigel. Occasionally Peter queried refs sight, though unjust.

                • Here's one related to snooker!

                  A brilliant cueing display (except fluked green); Hendry's invincibe – just kept looking majestic. Now O'Sullivan profaned quite rudely – this unkind verbal was X-rated – yawn, zzzzzzzzzzz

                  • A brilliant crucible debut, exciting from Guernseys hero Ian Jarvis. Ken lost marginally, not oftenly proven quite ruthless. Still, underachiver Virgo was xcellent (). Youngsters zooming.

                      And the one letter that The Statman forgot with his first attempt was S! Could at least have said "snookering trombonists..."

                        This is the second submission with no "S" Has someone ripped pages out of your dictionary today, The Statman?

                        • (A quick entry. The first stanza should be read in the rhythm of a limerick. Any suggestions that I lost concentration for the second half, and that it is slightly less meaningful, are totally unfounded!)....

                            • OK, here is a list that might be in the possession of Mic**** "The Hitman" H*** (name obscured for legal reasons) - or indeed any snooker hitman:


                              A bloody cue
                              Deadly extension
                              Fingerprintproof gloves
                              Halfbutt (indestructible – just!)
                              Kick!
                              Lethal marker – nice! (or poison quietly)
                              Radioactive spider
                              Triangle (uniformly varnished, waxed)
                              X-rest
                              Yellow
                              Zulu
                              (apparently over 45% of former Crucible players have been zulus - ask The Statman)
