Oct 9 2008Questionable: Disappearing Pool Table
Somebody went and built an elevator for their pool table so they can use the space it would normally take up when not in use. It had to have cost a fortune, probably even more than building an addition on the house. Which is what I would have done. Or, I dunno, gone to the bar.
Thanks to Ian, who racks and cracks with equal dexterity.

LOL WAT

FAKE!!
What a total photoshop.
You can tell its fake, the shadows are all wrong. Especially when it goes back down.
It should Never Back Down.

Why do you think its fake daisy? are you afraid to believe some people actually have the money to have this? Well let me tell you. I've seen pool tables that come down from above so the fact that he hides it in his floor doesn't seem to fake to me. and if you know anything about photoshop or software in general. you should know photoshop is images not video. you would need Cinema 4D to make something like this. but its clearly not about if people believe it, its about the rich people that can afford it.

Daisy, PLEASE give it up.
and..... Oh, I want one. It might be ridiculous, but its bad ass.
6. Em - October 9, 2008 10:07 AM
I would be afraid to walk on it.
7. JESUS - October 9, 2008 10:16 AM

REAL!!! CAW CAW!!
9. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 10:22 AM
Must be new what? Technology? ah shit like this has been around for a good minute. Unless your talking about me being new? That would be true, I've been looking at the site for a while but just started commenting.
10. Ash - October 9, 2008 10:24 AM
Wow could they not take the time to put a rug or something on the hatch? Eyesore!!!! I would totaly get something like this except with a bed that plays some Barry White as it comes up. Oh wait i already have a hidding bed all i have to do is remove the cusions from my couch and pull it out. Presto Instant bed. My Darling I can't get enough of your love babe

no way, its so fake, get a grip Sharpie.
12. sirrix - October 9, 2008 10:25 AM
Actually it isn't that expensive. It isn't an "elevator," it's just a hydraulic lift, like the kind you can buy for boats. They're only a few hundred dollars and they run off of a 12v car battery... The real stupid part about this is that it takes a professional installer to make sure your pool table is level - something tells me that after a few times up and down, this thing isn't quite balanced anymore. Not to mention the fact that the guy's just an idiot because let's face it: a pool table is an awesome piece of furniture - not a sport.
13. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 10:26 AM
I agree with 12's comment! completly
14. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 10:27 AM
@11, Ted..........are you f***in retarded or something?
15. commentzor - October 9, 2008 10:32 AM
@12: Levelness does not matter for the most fun use for pool table. ^.^
@13: We know you're new because Daisy posts about things being fake and from Never Back Down ALL THE DAMN TIME. It's like the most annoying form of Tourrette's Syndrome ever.
16. MrMaclean - October 9, 2008 10:33 AM
sharpie, it seems that you are the retarded one. clearly everyone else can see this is fake as you're mothers morals.
17. Andyman - October 9, 2008 10:35 AM
Hi, I'm Bond, James Bond. Want to see my table, pool table?
18. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 10:35 AM
Hahaha, well now that I know I'll just ignore Daisy!!! thanks fr the info. and I'm going to have to go against you on the levelness. the geometry is off if the level is incorrect. To a professional player Leveled tables are everything, if the balls rolls out of place the players next (pre-planned) shots are all f***ed!! my dads an expert at pool. Only reason I know
19. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 10:37 AM
I don't have a mother.......and if you think im going to start a fight with you your wrong, drop it.
20. commentzor - October 9, 2008 10:37 AM
@18 Sigh, I should've let them keep messing with you, sorry all. :o)
21. Jesus - October 9, 2008 10:41 AM
WOW 17.....might bi win...not sure...im not an expert at labeling "WIN's" but that seemed pretty ein to me...i never could have thought of that...all i could think up was "I TAPED MY SHIFT KEY DOWN!!! :D"
22. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 10:41 AM
Alright I'm done with this one, on to the next.
23. sirrix - October 9, 2008 10:41 AM
@20: Yeah.. She's just not getting it.... I was there w/ ya on the level part though - that's probably why that pool table my dad bought a year ago just isn't performing up to snuff anymore....
Also why the felt need to be replaced. BAD.
24. Douchie Mc Bagman - October 9, 2008 10:50 AM
Looks like sharpie isn't the sharpest sharpie in the box.
But you have to admire how he Never Backs Down.
25. Thumperchica - October 9, 2008 11:21 AM
@ Ash - Thank you, now I have that song stuck in my head.
@ 12 - Billiards IS a sport, douchenozzle.
26. LSDiesel - October 9, 2008 11:25 AM
I have something similar to this. Instead of a pool table going up and down, it's a glass display case with Jimmy Hoffa inside.
27. commentzor - October 9, 2008 11:27 AM
@26: Is he still alive?
Bonus points if he is.
28. LSDiesel - October 9, 2008 11:34 AM
He's alive, but he doesn't do much. The only trick he does is blink, and that's only once every hour. It's more of a conversation piece than anything else.
29. Gaudemaus - October 9, 2008 1:42 PM
All I have to say is, sucks for the people who live downstairs.
30. Elmo - October 9, 2008 2:28 PM
oh shit, JESUS commented on this, what does that tell you?
31. Momboelitist - October 9, 2008 3:13 PM
Wow, new and boring too.....
Welcome sharpie. Does sharpie have something to do with the bulge in your pants?
32. Bubba Gump - October 9, 2008 9:11 PM

34. Sharpie - October 10, 2008 4:56 AM

Is that my first imposter??
I'm NEVER BACKING DOWN fools!
I'll keep posting silly comments that make me look 15 years old no matter what!

35. MrMaclean - October 10, 2008 11:26 AM

36. mike - October 10, 2008 1:16 PM
