The German Shorthair that ate a massive pile of sausage my wife made before I could get any ate worse. Wood. Tarps including metal grommets. Attempted a wasp. Don’t know if he swallowed but his swollen face gave it away. We discovered his stomach contents after he ate a big sheet of...

Lived in a small town for a while where the old Doc liked guns. When he passed there were hundreds. Short of 1000 but the auction for them was crazy. I don’t know the final total of what he had. I heard different numbers but all over 500. Every guy in town was happy. How can a wife...

Maybe. Probably. Also probably won’t be the college experience she might have if she focused on school. Can’t judge it without knowing her or her long term goals. She could go on a 5-6 year plan like a lot of undergrads and come out with a lot of pool playing and a degree. But depends on where...

One follow up question. When you said older Avid did you mean older Cuetec and when you said what size was listed on the site, was that just for the shafts?

You’ll need to double check it yourself, but I am pretty sure the Avid butts are the newer 21.3. The older cues were 20. I have Avid butts that are 21.3 and compatible with the Avid or Cynergy 21.3. They might make some shafts for the older butts. ( I did a quick google search, but you should as...

I guess they don’t spell it out in the rules. But it is clear that there is a difference between rotation games and eight ball. In rotation the non random advantage can come through numerical placement. In eight ball it is suit not number. It is kind of easier to see than legislate. Drafting...

It won’t happen but here’s how you could do an ode to Mosconi and test high runs. You do a barnstorming cross country tour and you stop at the major poolrooms. The player gets 20 minutes to warm up on the equipment as he finds it. Then he plays the local hero a game to 150. If he’s on a run...

I saw him and heard about him. From everything said about him I wish I had known him. The golf game at 38th and Sheridan was way out of my league as well. The billiards guys didn’t gamble and they’d show you some stuff. Leonard Williams was the one I remember mostly.

It’s a legal rack about once. The main rule says the balls are placed randomly except the 8 and one stripe/solid at the corners. That doesn’t look random and wasn’t given my recollection of seeing it on YouTube. But it could be random. So you see how it goes. The second time when the “ random”...

No. Wallace, Idaho has an official marker at the official center of the universe. Look it up. 😜

Izzit the infamous ramin wood?

Everywhere is connected now. Our kid is doing a study abroad. You upgrade the phone plan and everything is internet etc…. Not that you want to be on AZ at something cool in France… but post some pictures.
