I was thinking more like 1screw…2screw… BTW We’re trying to get some less athletic sports for the olympics. I’m going to need some contestants. [I’m judging](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5191526#post5191526) and perhaps train a few players myself. ---

I say if they’re going to have freaking gun shooting as an olympic sport, they sure-as-shootin’ could have pool. :mad: At first I was under the impression that the olympics had to be “athletic”, but apparently not. :dubious: **PussyCow** , I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours. 😉 ---
