How much do most cue repair shops charge to straighten out a joint pin?

lorider,
Are you certain that it really isn’t you who may in fact really be disparaging Justin’s actual intelligence level by not recognizing his subtle genius?

I’ll betcha he doesn’t appreciate you defending him in that manner.

There are a number of us who like following Justin’s posts because of his well-defined persona’s ability to subtly manipulate his audience and pull the strings on his fellow AzB posters like puppets in a sideshow. He’s my god of AzB’ers at the moment. Nobody does it as well as Justin.

Now, do I really have any clue to what his intellectual capacity is? Not at all. But I do know he’s no dummy. Do I find his manipulative techniques intriguing? Yes, I do. But that doesn’t mean I like his techniques either. I just find them fascinating.

His ability to clearly articulate his thoughts and intentions in well-written fashion displays more than just a minimum of intelligence. When he says that he doesn’t know the difference between bent and warped, do actually believe that? That he’s that stupid? Well, do you? I hope not.

He’s like a ticket-taker at the Merry-Go-Round at a sideshow. And I respect him for it. But he never stops the Merry-Go-Round. Once you’re on the horse he just makes it go faster and faster and faster and he never stops the ride. He’s the current Teflon Don of AzB. Nothing dents him. His pseudo-humility is like a coat of armor—his persona’s greatest defense.

And I don’t know whether his pseudo-humility is real or fake—he’s amazing.

We’re all personas on AzB. Nobody can possibly be exactly what they present themselves as, here or anywhere. But Justin has it down to a science—it’s like being stuck on a train track and you know that damn train is gonna hit you sooner or later.

I have not read enough of Justins posts to form an opinion of his mental capacity.

My response was due to being offended by the posters word choice in describing his opinion of justins post.

Perhaps my response was due to having an adopted child that is very smart in some ways but not so much in other ways .

Irregardless... Its my opinion that the word chosen to describe his view of Justins post was inappropriate.

Hi lorider, I am sorry you found my use of the word retarded to be upsetting. It was not meant to upset you or anyone including Justin. Since we are on the usage of words I hope this link helps:



Is irregardless a word?



Irregardless is a word commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795. Most dictionaries list it as "nonstandard" or "incorrect" usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead.

Very well said Slim Limpy !!!
 
If it`s not a facing problem and the pin really is bent, it should be changed. Not a difficult job, but one that needs to be done by someone with the skill, tools and patience to do it.
Expect to pay around a Franklin, as it is quite time consuming and the pin itself can be quite expensive, depending on type and material.
 
Hmm

Maybe it's a wood pin, what about that. It could be warped. Yeah that's it, a Joss
that had the original metal pin replaced, because it was bent. They replaced it
with a wood pin and now it warped. Talk about bad luck.

No and yes.


It is common in informal usage. But your English prof will nail you for it in your term paper. :D

It's actually a word. It appears in the dictionary, and has been used in written language since the 1700s. Your prof couldn't slap you, unless he wants to get slapped back with a dictionary.

I wonder if the wood pin (on my Starkey cue) could be warped.
I'd better check it (that would be bad luck if it's warped) soon.

Thanks for the info. If it is that difficult and costly of a repair, then I do not think the cue is worth repairing. The seller told me that the roll out is only around 1/16 of an inch, so that does not sound too bad.

You are making fun of me, right? I was just confused by the meaning of the word "bent" (that is all), when referring to a "bent pin". It just sounded different in my mind. Why not say that the pin turned "off center", instead of using the word "bent"? That would have made sense to me, and then I would not have asked such a stupid question.

Very funny post. You made me laugh. Trust me though, I probably am as stupid as most people on this forum think I am. And, I honestly did get confused about the difference between a bent pin and a warped pin. Does that make me a retard? I guess that is a matter of opinion.

Speaking of "bent" and "warped", have you looked in a mirror lately? Seriously Justin i had to say it, it was too easy, like a 3" gimme.
 
11 mm and a bad roll, ugh, do yourself a favor, buy something else, like a new Schmelke sneaky
 
You don't always have to replace a bent pin, If the cue guy know's what he is doing he can straighten it in the lathe with no heat.
