I sat at the counter at Chris's Billiards while Raymond Ceuelemans kvetched to Semih Sayginer about his draw in the tournament. "Not Pete Rincon, not Jamie Martinez, but Dick Jaspers! I come to Chicago and I have to play Dick Jaspers!" Kinda funny if you know billiards.
This sounds like what a guy might say after he hustles you out of all your money.

Right off the bat he said, If you beat me at a game of pool, I'll make your album for free. If I beat you, you pay me double. We were paying him $100,000. Anyone who's got the stones to gamble something that large must be an amazing pool player, so everyone said no.
Weren't they REALLY rich at that point? 33 grands from each band member vs. potential "Steve Albini recorded us for free cause he lost a pool game. And it was his idea" story
and additional 33 grands for each band member from the record budget? Nirvana, the pussies.

33 grand would more than solve every single problem I have in the world, shit 10 grand would be more than enough
I'd be on fucking easy street for a long, long time if I found a bag with 10 grand in it

I was actually remarking at how absurd it is to assume that three years worth of house payments isn't much money.
Didn't mean to be obtuse.

What game? Are we discussing 8 ball, 9 ball, or sacofricosis? I've never observed Steve playing any version, but I believe the latter is the most universally popular.

This is EXACTLY what a guy says right before he loses a game to you. Then he gets desperate and says "I really need that money. Play me again. Double the money."
and he loses again.
And then, just one more game, he says, with his money in your pocket.
And he takes your money, your car, the last swallow of your beer, and your girlfriend.
If you look around a pool table and you can't spot the rube....
This is one of the most accurate posts ever.
