Keanu Reeves is my pool robot

Here comes Keanu Reeves - the greatest pool robot the world has known? You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe...

'Twas brilling in the slithy tove and I'm losing maybe $3,000 to this guy and his pool playing robot called "Keanu Reeves". We're talking break the 9-ball rack, down the 1, shape on the 2, six rails on the 3, 4, 5 and 6-balls in the next shot, hit the 7 and go into the air, off a lamp and the 9-ball sinks...

"I've had about enough," says I, noting the irony that I've not fired one shot since Robby the Robot began the barrage.

"Double or nothing?" asks the backer, and pain lights behind my eyes like a wake up call at a quarter-to-Armageddon.

"I know Kung Fu..." says the robot.

I pull my six from its holster, shoot the backer, and search his limp form for my cash. Now it's time to steal the robot and make for the sunset.

"Come on, you're going to help me..."

"Play more pool? Solve the matrix?" says the Reeves Robot.

"No, pick up some chicks," I intone.

The prior bizarre tale is loosely based on this real-world Pool and Billiards Robot!
