How to Get Free Pool

I’m pretty sure everyone has heard that there is an underground gay establishment somewhere in this fine city.  Well, the rumours are true, or at least they were on Saturday night.   Ryan had followed his nose (to be polite) to the place, dubbed “Down Under,” and was delighted at the sight of a pool table inside.  Actually, he was delighted by many things in that bar….

We went and sat down so we could get some beer.  Our mission that night was to get Arno drunk, but all he wanted was some tandoori chicken.  A couple of things caught our eye.  First, the bass in the place was way too strong.  I’m pretty sure that if my heart had stopped that night, the vibrations could’ve restarted it.  The second thing we noticed was the clientele.  There was a very obvious lack of the female gender.  To be a little more specific, there were no women at all.

After we had settled at our table with some beer, guys started to approach us, I mean, Ryan, to get his juicy details.  What started as small-talk soon turned into all-out flirting as Ryan was asked if he would kindly oblige to play pool.  He couldn’t turn an offer like that down, especially considering the 50 rupee/game tariff.  As he took the familiar “bent-over” position that is so familiar in pool, a crowd started to emerge around him.  

It became painfully aware to us guys sitting at the table that the crowd wasn’t interested in Ryan’s adeptness with the cue, but rather his $exy British ass.  Every time he assumed the pool position, you could see the audience mouth the words, “Oooo…awww.”  Was Ryan fazed by this attention?  Not at all.  There was an opportunity to be had and it wasn’t going to be hard for Ryan to pull off.

On his next shot, Ryan decided to shake what his momma gave him.  That move alone got him another free game.  He continued to flaunt his “assets” until Arno had finished his tandoori chicken.  We left the place soon after, much to the dismay of Ryan.  If only he could’ve stayed…he’d have been playing pool all night.      

Ryan’s wishes that night were best described in a conversation he had with Nina:

Nina – “Indians love to see a little bit of foreigner.”
Ryan – “If only they’d have bought me drinks, they could’ve seen a whole lot of foreigner.”

Excuse me, but we were having an innocent game of pool.

And, what, may i ask, do you mean by the "and it wasn’t going to be hard for Ryan to pull off." comment?!

I know i was teasing them to get free pool, but nobody was getting anywhere near first base with me that night, let alone anything else you're implying.

"and it wasn't going to be hard for Ryan to pull off."

what exactly happened in this establishment?
do we have to fill in the blanks for ourselves...

kent said...

Hey, I'm just tellin it like I saw it. Ryan had that look in his eyes that night.

Sorry, Jean.

Jean said...

i know what you mean a few drinks and he's anyones...
and if the drinks are free - there's no stopping him..

kent said...

I have just received word that the the phrase "pull off" has quite the different connotation to the Brits as compared to the Canadians (Nick, help me out here).

I know it as another way of saying "to accomplish" or "to do."

The island monkeys know it has something a little more x-rated. You can use your imagination for that one.

Jean said...

and were your new found friends not interested in some Canadian booty...with that nice pale shade of skin???

ryan101 said...

Yes Jean, my standards are slipping since i'm in India...

And, Kent, really... i can't beleive that a mind that is in the gutter as much as yours could be so naive.

This post is libellous. I'll see you in court.

Jean said...

Kent, you can't claim you used a phrase like 'to pull off' innocently - no way i'm not accepting that one!

and Ryan from what I hear the boys in question were the best offer you ever had so looks like your standards are rising all the time...!

ryan101 said...

Also, i should like to point out that when i 'followed my nose' i was looking for what was billed in the Lonely Planet as the Australian bar in Chandigarh.

I was simply looking to surround myself with some of my Australian heritage.

Although i did hide my disappointment at the unexpected revelation rather well...

kent said...

Pale skin? Take a look in the mirror, Jean.

And it was innocent. I'm not familiar with terms that island monkeys make up...nor do I want to be.

Libellous? Alright, I guess our 5 date will be in court.

ryan101 said...

I'm sorry Kent. There'll be no more dates for you after this debacle.

Besides, like Jean said, i have plenty of better offers. and one offer that is slightly below my usual standards...

Jean said...

what does that mean?
so one lucky boy got to take you home then?

ryan101 said...

if you think Kent was lucky to drive the cycle rickshaw we caught home, then he was very lucky. it was the only exercise he was getting that night.

and that sounds like a little bit of jealousy there Jeanie! perhaps if i was looked after a bit better i wouldn't need to keep my options open.

Jean said...

but Ryan now you're getting old, and being 'looked after' becomes your own responsibility.

kent said...

What happened? Did jean ruin your chai this morning?

And that's the last time I ever drive you home in a cycle rickshaw for free. Next time it's 200 rupees.

ryan101 said...

Hey, i'm not old yet - that's not happening until tomorrow. and as the baby of the trainee community, i still need to be looked after.

ryan101 said...

You'll need that 200Rs to pay the lawsuit after you drive into a ditch again.

Jean said...

You're not the baby of the community - just the most immature one!

ryan101 said...

am not.

you're the smelliest person in the community though.

so there.

kent said...

Now that's the intelligent humour I expect from island monkeys.

Jean said...

Please do tar us all with the same brush, Kent.
I'm from a different Island (a nicer one) from the other monkey.

Vladan said...

Ahahahahaha!

I have to say that out of all bars in Chandigarh we accidentally stumbled upon the one with most "action" going on. Too bad it was not the kind of action we were looking for. Or, maybe, not the kind of action most of us were looking for. :)

ryan101 said...

If your island is 'nicer', Ireland Monkey, why, if it is so much better, have you spent the last 5 years on my island?

Just be glad your lumped in with me rather than simple, naive Canadians. Besides we need to stick together to fight the Canadia alliance that Kent is building. Maybe we can get our embasseys in on the 'action' too.

kent said...

how can we form an alliance when we don't even have a government anymore?

ryan101 said...

that coment is just too lame to be acceptable, i suggest you delete it in order to avoid the shame that will soon shadow your family.
