SATSQ
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.
Its time once again for the lightning round of inane questions! This month, we have the lovely lady from the OB Cues Tour, Ms. Ashley Nandrasy:
1. For those who don’t follow the OB Tour, please tell my reader(s) how long you’ve been playing pool.I’ve been playing around 4 years, 3 of which have been on the OB Tour. I’m still a determined newbie…
2. After many color changes, it seems that you’ve settled on the red streaks. Are you worried that Samm Diep is going to hit you with a likeness infringement lawsuit? Samm knows she’s the queen bee! However, she’s given me the ok, so unless I start running around wanting everyone to call me “Cherry Bomb”, the pool industry is big enough for the both of us.
3. The six inch heels. Fashion statement or simply a way to help you see above the rail? Neither….I hang out in bars…..they are my protection….
4. You recently moved to Tennessee. Quite possibly the best cheesy pickup line of all time goes something like “are you from Tennessee, ‘cuz you’re the only ten I see”. As you are now living in Tennessee, how will you respond when someone drops that gem on you? You know, if someone actually had the balls to come up to me and say that with a straight face….well, all girls like a confident guy I suppose….
5. Team Jacob, Team Edward or Team Twilight Is Super Lame Unless You’re a 14 Year Old Giggling Schoolgirl? Ugh, sooooo the last one….I only had to see a trailer for it before I knew it was DEFINITELY not the movie for me…..
6. Quick pool philosophy question to clear your mind: If someone runs 100 balls but no one is there to see it, did it really happen? Ah, the ultimate pool fish story! It absolutely counts, and the second I do it, everyone will hear about it….highest I’ve done so far is 49, but I don’t think that’s half bad….
7. Gambling and action. Good or bad for pool?
*Read really fast in order to get the effect you would get asking me this in person* Everyone keeps throwing up the whole Poker/Pool analogy and how we can capitalize on it. Quite frankly, it isn’t going to happen… A random person can’t possibly win the US Open having played twice in their buddy’s basement while throwing back Jager bombs. “Anyone Can Win” is not necessarily going to be plastered at pro pool tournaments…..
The gambling/hustling aspect is one of the most entertaining facets (IMO of course) that is present right now. Watching and sitting with the rail birds and players when they are barking at each other is like watching a train wreck….you know it’s wrong, but damn if you don’t sit there a little longer to see what’s going to come out of their mouths. It always seems to me that even your random bar patrons come over and want to know what the action is… Anything that gets more people to play or watch is good for pool in my opinion.
As much as I like gambling and think that it could help, I don’t get to do it as much as I get to watch the boys from back home. Yeah I’m a girl, but we have some gamble too!!!
8. I heard somewhere that you’re a fan of the genius that is Mel Brooks. Rank these movies in their order of importance to the Mel Brooks cannon: The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein,High Anxiety, History of the World Part 1, Spaceballs
Spaceballs
ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
History of the World Part 1
The Producers
High Anxiety
Mel Brooks is my go to guy for a classic comedy movie. Kubrick is the other for my darker side…..
9. Thank you for playing Ms. Heelz. Before we go, we have time for a holla, a couple of shout outs and even maybe a big up or two. Anyone deserving of a huzzah in Ashley’s World?
The OB Cues Tour of course, with the greatest bunch of women you could ever meet!
Royce Bunnell from OB Cues for being our fearless sponsor.
Melinda Bailey for opening me up to everything good….and bad sometimes….
Amanda Lampert for being the epitome of the nice girl…..with a potty mouth….
My crazy guys and family in Texas who have been kicked by my massive heels when I was fixing my girly break (or at least that’s what I told them).
…..and everyone at this year’s BCA for continuing to outdo themselves every year and giving me something to look forward to….
And, as is standard, the ubiquitous action shot of the simply crushalicious Ms. Nandrasy:
