New Names?

This 8-Ball team, in the TAP league has been shooting out of (representing, in a travel, handicap league) this bar for about 12-15 years. I've been on the team for 7 years. In this time period, the owner has changed at least 4 times. Suffice it to say that since he started catering to the APA league last year, we have taken a back seat.

His unwillingness to negotiate left us no choice than to move our team elsewhere. Hence my little poem!

New Names?
© - Tom Hyland - 9-09-08

After many, many Years,
We’re movin’ our Team.
Tequilla Shooters . Shooters
No longer our Dream.

Our Ship’s shovin’ Off,
Movin’ Upriver to the Anchor Inn,
Anchors Aweigh, me Boys,
A New Port - Where We Will Win!

So, what Nautical Names
Should we Consider?
Let’s make a List -
The Vote goes to Highest Bidder!

Anchor’s Bankers?
Scratch This!
Frigging Frigates?
Cutter’s Kiss!

Anchor’s Anglers?
Cap’n and Crew?
Pocket Whackers?
Scratchers Few!

Sneaky Petes N’ Teats!
Cue-Ball Maulers?
Reckless Rackers?
Tequila Trawlers?

Buds N’ Suds? - Wad’da You Think?

Sad to have to ship out to another home port. Keep the name a little bit happily mean. How 'bout Tequila Pirates. I can see a t-shirt with a jolly roger - one of the cross-bones being a cue stick :-)

hm, not bad choices, Tom, but (always a 'but', eh) haha, how 'bout 'Cue Tippers'? Sorry to read the team has to hit the road. Bank the seven in the side for me.

Best to you,
FWB
