The Big Snooker Game

[Obligation]

Since time immemorial..

x-rated is what this snooker thread should be, to let people relax

x was apparently first used to mean "multiply" by William Oughtred, who invented the slide rule in 1622, over 250 years before snooker was invented, tells me my snooker-playing chum, pet chimpanzee Charlie. And no, I don't have an open dictionary here. All the entries I am putting up here are sent to me by Charlie. By fax.

Xenon is a gas breathed in by many a snooker player, but sadly, the gas is not normally found in wax.

X is the 24th letter in the alphabet whereas the 17th letter is Q

What did that have to do with snooker?!?!?

Quick: the way Peter Ebdon plays his shots

[Alex0paul]

Surely this thread is dying a long long death. Snooker, however, is not.

[Obligation]

This is true Alex0paul, this thread is truly grim. Snooker, however, is not.

Time will take its toll on this thread just like it will for John Parrott's career.

[Obligation]

Right you again my Alex0paul, but time will also take its toll on a certain James' career.

[Alex0paul]

Really? Could this James be James Wattana?

[Obligation]

Ahhh! Sadly not, this James is a certain James White..

[Alex0paul]

English Legend! Of course. For a moment there I thought you meant Steve James

smack the pack [I thought this was getting too easy and wonder if we should introduce a rule that every entry must have a poetic element?]

[Obligation]

Kicks are bad, and make you sad

I've never been good at poetry

down with the brown, sweetly cue home the blue, sink the pink, then whack in the black

(Obli, you are a good poet, it just seems you don't know it.)
