Big Ko on Waxed Balls

Haven't heard much or anything about wax since the controversy erupted, what, a year and a half ago.
Hear a bit of it in China, but that's only because there were some asian tournaments in Vietnam, and Japan, where some Chinese and Taiwanese players were on the end of some slippery Fillipino special treatment. If anything, the wax is no longer really mentioned, but it's really put a stereotype of being untrustworthy or cheaters on Fillipinos, whereas when I first moved here, they had a better reputation (Thanks to Raga, Orcollo).

Have you ever known any players who played really good with the heavy (mud) cue ball, that you see on so many Valley coin op tables?

multiple times i called the cops and said there is a fight at the bar. then when they came in i walked out with the cash.

once i had to dive(squeeze) out the tiny bathroom window and landed in the garbage bin. but left with the cash.

i would by drinks for the biggest bad guy at the bar. then when or if an issue arose he would kindly say "hey he is with me".

i would sometimes go into the worst action places with this friend who was fairly tall and not well built but was a street fighter and pool player.
he didnt look imposing at all. but did get everyones attention when he picked up a guy causing us trouble that was his size and threw him right threw the window on the fly. didnt go back after that. im no fool.

left a stick on the table and flew the coop, while he was racking for my break.
all in a days work.

Thought patterns ...

I suspect that learning a mental process and a physical process involves different approaches. The physical process is probably more likely to have at least some underpinning of mental process while the mental process has the potential to be entirely mental, it may not have any physical underpinning at all.

I don't know that this has ever been tested but I would bet that pool players on a whole are more intelligent than the general population. Pool demands mental and physical performance. Nobody plays great pool purely based on physical abilities.

My Wife Just Doesn’t Understand

My wife texted me that she had 2 questions for me and then she proceeded to not follow-up. To which I responded - I was sitting here waiting for your questions with bait on my breath. "Huh" she texted back. How could any decent lady not get that reference?

I think I'm just going to text her that she gets the last 8 and all the breaks.

She doesn't get me.
So, what did she ask?
