    Waxing the cue ball? WTF is Kaci talking about now?

    Does this mean I can no longer use my Aramith ball cleaning liquid? Pretty sure it has some wax in it.

    Toasty to become citizen

    Just an interesting add… my grandparents were naturalized citizens. The irony is that they became citizens decades after my parents (and we three siblings) did. My maternal grandparents joined us in the US when they were already senior citizens in the 1980’s.

    Oh for sure. But I think anyone who watched would agree that Fedor for all his greatest got a disproportionate amount of rolls. I just hope that keeps up in the Mosconi cup.

    Ummm. Gross and go have the same long ‘o’ I don’t know a common English word ‘gorse’ I mean, it exists, but maybe use another word for an example and comparison. ‘Hot’ has a short ‘o’ … are you saying it’s that pronunciation?

    He had a boatload of luck on his side today including the finals. It’s what kept this match closer than it could have been, given how both were running out.

    St. Louis Louie vs. Archer 1990

    Loved watching Louie. He got away with two fouls. He let go of his cue to aim the path (who calls that foul anyway? And Cardone was absolutely correct on this uncalled foul:

    RIP Joe Salazar

    Great guy. I steered a couple players his way for their respective first big cue. Without any encouragements or hints from me, Joe jellied me one year. I was surprised to say the least.

    Fargo on Bar boxes

    Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

    Exactly. Even if Dennis was being over the top. It’s good to teach absolute beginners how to hit vertical center, but nobody left standing at the end of a pool tournament is somehow staying on the vertical center. I know some people will say they do, but if they’re at the end of the...
