that's a new word for me. My Google search turned up this.
People also ask
How do you say "I love you" in hieroglyphics?
Another option is,
Hieroglyph, meaning “sacred carving"
Hmmm ?
Well perhaps I should endeavor to read the 4 pages of discussion.......nah I'm okay with my ignorance of the consensus. I do respond to shark moves in a Religious fashion.. I will stop, raise up off the shot and then take the escalator right to the top.
Uh oh a Bill Cosby quote, "It reflects on your Mother! If you throw a bullet in the furnace." Not sur if its a simil E. It does get giggles for me.

Shane Jackson ( find him here ) is the King of high quality rapid wrap jobs.

From real $500 to $300 Elephant and ringtail lizard to $100 various leather prints he has it all.

His turn around time is two days excluding shipping time.

I've had him do several high-end cues and would absolutely use him again.

social media really exploded after 2005 though. and gambling became less prevalent relative to tournaments. the "monsters" in 2026 are fast improving youngsters, but they're not unknown for long after they make a splash. they may even have an fargorate, that they are outrunning

I think the hidden monsters are unknowns playing in one or a few places, maybe small town. Fargo is doing a lot of damage to unknown tour players now I believe. I'm thinking more about my old mentor. A shortstop that owned a pool hall in a leased space. The owner of the space built a pool hall in a nicer part of town and they played for the rent every month, alternating spots. You had to have your best tennis shoes on to beat either one!

There’s never been a top pool player who didn’t think they could play poker. Poker took over for betting horses in keeping pool players broke.

I get the chalk thing but it’s not the way I grew up playing pool. Talc, cigarettes, chalk, coins all on the rail. Pool was a bit of a mess. Some players even wore aprons.

I saw a few old timers wear aprons when I was young. Thought it might be a good idea to wear a nail apron with pockets. I think I tried it once or twice, didn't like it!

I did various things with excess chalk. Sometimes on the light, if it was worn out I might hum it at a wall! For awhile I thought two was the right number of chalk cubes on a table, then three. Then I figured out it didn't matter, no matter how many you put they were all coming together anyway!

There are good reasons for putting the chalk rightside up and upside down. Whatever! I generally wash my hands before starting play then I wipe down the rails with the damp paper towels I dried my hands on, mostly to get tar and nicotine off the rails where smoking is allowed. I tip well so fresh chalk and often a table wiped down are the norm where I am known. I am not an automatic tipper though, pisspoor service earns a matching tip!
