Jerry Rauenzahn signed all his cues?

Do your self a favor when you do decide to take the cue out even for a once around the block drive.
Make sure the first ball you hit is a hanger. Just place an OB dead center in the open pocket between
the points. Shoot the cue ball 6”, 12” or just a couple of feet away. Sink that first OB with your Jerry R.

It’s a superstition but it is akin to baptizing your pool cue to start out pocketing a OB instead of missing it.
You never start out with a missed shot the first time you play with your new cue, even if it was pre-owned.

It’s just a bad Mojo so don’t disrespect the pool Gods that can tease and torment any of us all too often and usually at a critical time in a match. I know a cue is an inanimate object & pool gods are a myth but sometimes I have to wonder.
Some things you just don't mess with! 👍

I agree with you 100%. I own many cues all of which I have played with. But when I pick up this Jerry-R I have many bittersweet memories that come back to me. This is the functionality and performance of this cue for now. This is what I paid for and what I enjoy.

I have played with a couple of Jerry's cues owned by friends, so I have a good idea of the construction and playability of his cues. And also, my wife feels just as you do. She says take that cue out of the rack and play with it. Maybe one of these days I will???

Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

I think most of us can play in a quiet, respectful tournament environment.
...and in a crowded, loud room with people walking around and whatnot.

It's when it is supposed to be the former and suddenly one person turns it into the latter that things get weird.

Yeah, I feel like this is sorta the point. If you're playing Thursday night beer league in 6-table bar, you sort of expect this kind of thing and tune it out. I think in the position Kristina was in, it might be kinda unexpected, though. How egregious is left as an audience exercise.
