Notable quotes

“I'm going to try to get all those toilet games. I'm going to have a toilet bowl tournament just have to find all the games that have toilets in them”
Dave
“We're a social club. All games here are owned by the membership. $30 a month to join, members have 24-7 access, and we run tournaments like this on occasion”
“He's just got to get used to how the ball lies. He just needs four more drop targets.”
George
“These were meant to make money. They weren't meant to keep you playing.”
George
“I stomp on the floor because I want something to time it to. I time it to the beat of my foot.”
Eric Stone
“It's a brand new code update, so it changes things a little bit. He's not used to it.”
