It's been about a year. This place is certainly not the same without you.
Cuebuddy<>still bummed.
 
I agree, I miss Mr Bond.
He was a local to me and I looked forward to his podcast .
He was an asset to the game.
 
I miss him on here, too.

He always was very friendly and informative and he helped me out a few times when I was looking for some information.
 
Yes, I miss him too. He always shared the best pool wisdom nuggets with the forum, and never had a mean thing to say about anyone.
 
I still think that interview he did with Coach Johan after the 2017 loss was eyeopening and a moment of clarity for team USA, which would go on to pay great rewards in 2018. Mr. Bond just wouldn't be around to see it but I still believe that solid and timely interview with some difficult questions was the catalyst to victory.

He was an asset to the sport.

For those who don't know, the link to American Billiard Radio has now expired but our very own Mike Howerton had taken back the mantel of helming the pool podcast which is very much needed in the sport. If at the very least, it provides an auditory historical timestamp to where we are at this very moment with the player's voices and those that conduct business behind the game.

Latest interview with Jayson Shaw after turning stone classic 31....and talk of a WPA players championship

Definitely not the same without him... he did a lot for pool and people in general.
He is surely missed.

RIP.

I got up this morning and felt pretty good actually..as opposed to being achey from this or that...

Made some coffee.... Mmmmm coffee.

Found myself walking past my sexy [pool] table, so I goosed her in the ribs as I passed by...and said "maybe later babe.."

But then she whispered in my in ear and said ...come play with me ...just one little rack....pretty please... and she winked...

FINE...just one little rack.....I gave in...

Turned on some music...racked up a tight one...and man it was tight, I even impressed myself...I was full of confidence and caffiene...

Oh damn...now one of my favorite songs came on...I had to turn it up...

The house is just thumpin...I've magically become a hybrid: My new name is Mosconi Cruise...and I'm cooler than cool, badder than bad....

I slowly bend down to line up my break shot....the tension [in my mind] is building because now I'm in super-fly-ninja mode, about to hit this cue ball so hard that my cue is going to splinter....

Swooosh!! I let er rip.......the cue ball breaks the sound barrier on the way to the rack....I am pool god unleashed....

Balls explode in every direction...

But then......


The cue ball decides that it cannot be constrained to this solar system, and thus launches itself straight up from the table....

Not having previously attained flight clearance, this was a problem...

For parked right above the table, is my nice big fat flourescent light fixture.

Cue ball went all honey-badger, and did not care whether my light fixture was in the way, it wanted out of the building...

*terrible crashing sound*

*darkness ensues*


So, I'm standing there in the dark, a crappy song comes on, and my coffee cup is filled with glass shards.

Sweet Heavens, that was good.
Thanks for re-posting that. Might I say that writing quality belongs right up there with George Fels. Wonderful.
