Boy, those cushions look rock hard.**BREAKING NEWS FROM OLYMPIA, GREECE**
Legends of the Cue visited the site of the original ancient Olympic Games today, expecting to learn about foot races, wrestling, discus, and all the usual heroic stuff.
Instead, we stumbled onto what may be the greatest archaeological discovery in cue sports history.
According to sources who may or may not have been holding tiny brushes and wearing khaki, archaeologists have uncovered **irrefutable evidence that 9-ball was contested in the very first ancient Olympic Games.**
Yes, that’s right. Before shot clocks, jump cues, FargoRate, or arguments over the rack, the Greeks were apparently already running out on a stone table in the middle of the stadium. It appears to be The 700 B.C. Brunsrock Olympiad Olive Crown IX table. Indications are this was not the TV table however.
Early translations suggest the original Olympic motto may have been:
**“Faster. Higher. Stronger. Call your pocket.”**
Naturally, this gives us renewed hope that pool will finally reclaim its rightful place in the Olympic program at the **2032 Brisbane Summer Games.**
Until then, we’ll continue digging. Carefully. With chalk.

It worked to perfection. inspired my opponent and he fired back and prevailed in the battle. One good shot can't be celebrated. The first shot sets the standard.
I would be beyond surprised if they cost even that much.
You are full of great quotes today "Braindead suckers see the name and go off like a roman candle".
Don't tell my wife's cousin this, she owns a couple of restaurants in the US and is part owner of another in Singapore.

Sounds like Sofia Mast is making culinary school her #1 priority, come August. She "hopes" be be able to keep playing pool. She also has an excellent argument as being the #1 American-born woman player.
A couple months ago, I saw a post from her requesting donations/support during her streams. I know she has sponsorships. As well, culinary school graduates are notoriously poorly paid. If the (arguably) best female player born in the US can't make a reasonable living at this game, then there's no real hope for US women to be competitive.
