Yeah I hear ya. I honestly don’t get all the hate for the food there. Yeah it isn’t a 5 star restaurant but anything I got last year over the 9 days filled the hole and wasn’t half bad and much better than cooking in my room or eating crackers and cheese.

Funny Things Said to You at the Pool Room

StrokeofLuck
I think I might've posted this before in another thread, but many years ago this new guy came into our room looking for a game. We ended up playing some small stakes 9 ball, and I busted him in maybe a little over an hour. He might've won 3 games tops. When he was unscrewing he said "It was great playing somebody of my own caliber for a change!"

Cue Design Websites

Is there any place out there where you can go and design your own cue?

I am talking about a website where you have access to tons of various inlays, points, diagrams, aesthetics, etc, etc. And can make a cue just exactly like you want.

As an example, I am sure almost all the various automakers have a "Build Your Own" feature on their websites. That's similar to what I am talking about.

The Build A Bear Workshop may still be at a mall nearby, that's what I'm seeing when I read this.

Of course, automakers have options, so do all sorts of products, but you get options when you order cues ---- tip, sometimes ferrule, weight, sometimes joint. Plenty of places you can go to see a variety of a cue maker's types/styles of cues and options for each style and often an option to contact for other things. But you know that if you've done any minimal looking or have purchased cues.

But in general, you're just talking about the kinds of things you need to call a full custom cue maker and discuss and it's not really in their interest or financially sensible to try and create something like what you are talking about, even though I'm sure it would be fun to navigate through.

Pool Ball Collecting.

Rubik's Cube
I am genuinely taken aback and humbled by your offer, HKC. It is incredibly kind and truly appreciated, sir.

We have only just started to discuss the possibility of a coffee table book, dear chap, so it will be quite a while before anything is ready for potential publication.

I would never be comfortable accepting anyone’s hard earned money without having the book design finished, printed and available for immediate delivery, but will absolutely give you first dibs on any copies you might like should that exciting day arrive, sir.

Thank you so very much, again. 🙏
