    As I said over at Mike’s…that pic IS pretty funny! But…that said… here’s a lil bit of dialog from “The B-58″…er…The Hustler:

    Fast Eddie: You know, I got a hunch, fat man. I got a hunch it’s me from here on in. One ball, corner pocket. I mean, that ever happen to you? You know, all of a sudden you feel like you can’t miss? ‘Cause I dreamed about this game, fat man. I dreamed about this game every night on the road. Five ball. You know, this is my table, man. I own it.

    :mrgreen:

    Yup…I do indeed, SJS. But really now…who would you rather be? Paul Newman? Or Jackie Gleason? :lol:

    …wasn’t an option. But, not a bad choice, even if he DID play a famous Grunt. :wink:

    You didn’t ask, but I wouldn’t mind being Jimmy Stewart. Or someone like him. :cool:

    Oh, but it is:

    The Hustler (1961)
    Cast (in credits order)
    Paul Newman … Eddie Felson
    Jackie Gleason … Minnesota Fats
    Piper Laurie … Sarah Packard
    George C. Scott … Bert Gordon
    Quotes:
    Bert Gordon: I don’t think there’s a pool player alive shoots better pool than I saw you shoot the other night at Ames. You got talent.
    Fast Eddie: So I got talent. So what beat me?
    Bert Gordon: Character.
