Shipping cue

Don't count on a required signature. One of the cues I mentioned earlier that were delayed had signature required on it, but was still left sitting at the door without a signature.
Well at least this greatly improves your chance of a successful insurance claim. Harder for the weasels to argue when they can't produce a signature that is required. It's hard to defeat lazy drivers but this at least gives you some ammo.

Shaw vs. Doung Quoc Hoang

If Vietnam produced five of the Fargo Top 100 by 2030, that would be statement enough for me.
That's only four years. Kids starting at 8-10 years old (perhaps the oldest one can start and reach world class) would need longer to get there, even if they started a few years ago. And pool keeps booming. Give it ten years, 2036, and I suspect they'll be there, or close.

2026 WPA Predator Men's World 10 Ball Saigon

The Predator Pro Billiard Series is a different offering, and rather than comparing them, I'd rather celebrate that we have both WNT and Predator offering great pro pool content.
Predator events have a different vibe, and that's fine. I am not crazy about the set format or shootout, but some variety in pool is all right. The sport should experiment.

As for a lack of attention on AZB, the event is taking place off hours and we did just get over a big run of events in the U.S. There was bound to be some dropoff.

I do like MR events better, but others like Predator. The more the merrier ...

Why not switch the position of the 1 and 9 in 9-ball to make it more interesting?

Believe what you want.

I don't care what you believe.

I said that I hadn't played for years and was playing on a weekend.

I didn't say that was the first day back at the table after quitting for a lot of years.

When I came back to play my friend that I used to play back in the 90s, we would play for several hours each Sunday in Hawaiian Brian's.

I only played on Sundays and could hang with the top players.

I didn't play as well as I did when I was younger, but I would have been rated at the highest level in any league in the state.

I haven't hit a ball in over a year and I would bet I could beat you.
I'm guessing that clown has never run a single rack, I'm amazed he can even run his mouth

Thought patterns ...

Interesting article about the brain that may apply to this thread. I knew different sections of the brain were responsible for different things but this carries that concept a whole lot further.

This article claims the front and rear brains started out as two different organs, maybe not even in the same area of the body.

That tracks with what I saw helping someone clean an alligator. The alligator was still fighting minutes after the head was removed. One stab just in front of the hind legs and it went limp! Incidentally, alligator sauce piquant made by a Cajun lady that knows how is a dish straight from heaven!

That explains where the "shit for brains" may have originated. I still know a lot of people who you would guess their brains are in their asses.

JOSS CATALOGS

I emailed Steve. He said the serial number could've been recorded incorrectly.

I emailed Steve. Below is part of the response....
If we get a list of the distributors, dealers, and retailers like J&J America, Cue&Case, or Cuestix...as well as any others selling Joss at the time, we could see if any of their old listing are still on their servers or in the internet archive (way back machine).

Might find a match that way.

Knowing exactly what retailer it was bought from would be a huge help. Could even just contact them if their old listings are no longer online.

Thought patterns ...

If I make an extremely nice shot, my internal dialog is to the effect of, " if I don't get all the way out that shot didn't happen." Celebration of a single shot mentally can be fatal. 🤷‍♂️ I know from experience. 😉

This cost me a bunch of games and matches when I was young. All of the feel good natural drugs and chemicals wreck all of the things you need to keep going. Celebrating early, at least internally, cost me a ton of victories.

I used to be able to bear down and make almost any shot, then miss the easy duck I set up for right behind it!
