The "GD's Got Something to Brag About" thread

It was 8-ball, which surprises me even more. The league I'm in alternates seasons between 8-ball and 9-ball. If I were to have made a prediction, I would have bet on my winning 9-ball before I ever won 8-ball. Our 9-ball matches are handicapped in a way that really helps those of us who suck. 8-ball we play straight up.

You've never heard of the Psychedelic Furs? I assume you'd heard Pretty in Pink and just never knew the artist?

By the way, congratulations as well. In all that time playing I never one any of the significant tournaments we had, it's hard to do.

You have to remember, I don't listen to music and that really is no exaggeration. I work at home, alone, all day and do so in silence. In the car I listen to NPR and baseball games. The last music I purchased was "Suicide is Painless" in 2004 because I needed to hear one of the lyrics for something and iTunes was convenient. I haven't purchased a CD for myself since the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge and I don't think I've ever listened to it other than the day I bought it.

About the only time I intentionally listen to music is when I need to block out distracting noises. So I have an iPod loaded up with random CDs Lani owns for when I work down at the library but I don't actually listen to it.

I hear music incidentally so I wouldn't be surprised if I've heard "Pretty in Pink" but I don't recognize it by title and have no idea who the Pyschadelic Furs are (and if it is related to the movie by the same name I haven't seen that either).
