In my feeble attempt to offer a more mature version of the apparently juvenile hottie of the month segment (from v1.0), I’ve decided to blatently rip off P00lriah, Entertainment Weekly and Mad Magazine with my on variation of Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions (heretofore referred to as SATSQ).  Rather than ask questions that people want answers to, I decided to just ask questions that I want answers to.  The first participant? Jennifer Barretta.

1. New York or Philly? Philly is a great city, but New York is the only place I ever want to live.  I like to call it ‘land of the misfits’ because most of the people that come here didn’t fit in where they are from.  Because of that you get tremendous diversity, and we all understand and respect each other.

2. Since there’s no money in actually playing pool professionally, how do you pay the bills? Before I had my son I made a great living at pool, but I was on the road doing appearances every weekend.  Now I’m part owner in a personal training business, which is a nice steady income, but I still supplement it with some random appearances.

3. You are considered by most to be the prototype pool hottie. How do you feel about these upstarts looking to grab your title? I’m happy that I helped pave the way for these young girls coming up.  I think I helped make it a little more acceptable for these girls to market their ‘assets’.  Let’s face it, I’m not getting any younger and good players with pretty faces help drive the sport.  At some point I’d like to take on a few of these girls to manage.

4. The WPBA lists your nickname as 9mm. Are you packin’ heat? I’ve never owned a gun, but I think I’d be really into swiss cheesing some targets.  Want to hit a shooting range with me?

5. Gambling and action. Good or bad for pool? I’m a believer that any publicity is good publicity.  Look what Tonya Harding did for figure skating.

6. Which Kroft Superstar do you most identify with and why?
*Sigmund the Sea Monster
*Chaka
*Electra Woman and/or Dyna Girl
*Witchiepoo
*Dr. Shrinker

Probably Chaka.  I have a lot of hair and I’m into archaeology.

7. A few years back I believe you were interviewed by Jim Rome (at least thats what it says on your IMDB page). Was he a cool cat or arrogant jerkass? I don’t really remember him so I’m going to say he must’ve been a cool cat.  I tend to remember arrogant jerkasses.

8. What’s the most embarrassing song currently residing on your ipod (or whichever fancy gadget you’re using to listen to music nowadays)? I don’t have anything embarrassing on there.  I have impeccable taste in music.

9. Thanks for playing. Before we wrap this up, is there anyone you want to give a shout out to or anything you want to pimp? Of course!  Shout out to my peeps at Mezz USA, Amsterdam Billiards and Ivan Belmonte Cue Cases!

And just to show that she’s still mega swish even when she’s not all posed and made up, a picture with the always lovely Ms. Liz Ford (both pics ripped with permission from Jennifer’s Facebook page).

Yes, this is me being mature.  Sorry folks, that’s about as good as it gets.
