When Fats Ordered Booze, Eddie Should Have Ordered Pizza


Yeah, take that, fat man, that delicious smelling pizza got your game all messed up, and some Oreos for Bert's moo juice.

I wonder if Fats didn't somehow manage to not drink much of his booze, or to have Bert Gordon (Preacher, or Johnny) bring him a bottle that was cut with water or juice. Fats probably realized that Eddie was going to be tough to beat, and figured that if he could get Eddie to drink, then he (Fats) could still prevail.

Straight up pool with no posturing, just give-me-your-best-game, Eddie nine times out of ten.
