Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 345<br />

beer and dug into my food. Hell, it was better than I hoped, so my outlook was picking<br />

up.<br />

There was only one woman in the place who even partially interested me, and I<br />

figured I‟d need maybe three more beers before she‟d be good looking enough to hit on<br />

her, so I just relaxed. Then a tall, skinny kid, early twenties with dark hair hanging past<br />

his shoulders and a fuzzy moustache on his lip, came out of the other room. He had a<br />

pool cue in his hands as he ordered a beer.<br />

He looked at me and we both nodded in a friendly manner. I figured he‟d head<br />

back to his game when his beer showed up, but I was wrong. Instead, he faced me and<br />

asked a question. “Ya‟ll shoot pool, buddy?”<br />

I nodded. “A little. Why? You lookin‟ for a game?”<br />

He shook his head. “Fuck, no. Ah‟m tryin‟ t‟ find somebody c‟n beat that mealy<br />

mouthed mothuhfuckah Ah been shootin‟ agin. Som‟bitch‟s whippin‟ mah young ass<br />

somethin‟ terrible.” He ran his eyes up and down me. “Ya‟ll any damn good with a pool<br />

stick?”<br />

After a swig of beer I said, “I do okay.”<br />

“Think ya‟ll c‟n beat that mothuhfuckah?”<br />

<strong>My</strong> eyebrows came up. “Can‟t say. I haven‟t seen him shoot.”<br />

He pulled out a ten and handed it to me. “Heah. Go back in theah an‟ shoot that<br />

mothuhfuckah a game fer ten. Beat „is fuckin‟ ass, will ya, so‟s he gets on outa heah?<br />

Som‟bitch‟s pissin‟ mah ass off.”<br />

I stood and finished my beer. “I‟ll do my best. Fifty-fifty?”<br />

He shrugged. “Sounds okay. Go fuck „im up, okay?”<br />
