I was 11 when my family and I were naturalized in 1990. From what I remember, my questions were really basic but my folks and sisters had the real test and interview. Basic civics stuff. Branches of government and their roles, basic us history, bill of rights, what the Declaration of...

Tap tap tap. Just my $.02 and it’s worth exactly that, but I think some comments are out of line when talking about Dave. Asking if he has any matches recorded of him playing is a great question. Cool question. I can dig it. Speculating on how competitive he does or does not play is a cheap...

Did a pool player come up with this rule? Is it sacrilegious to go weird like 4 3/8” or 4 1/2” (I know, right) pockets… or will that give the ‘lesser players’ too much of a punchers chance should the top dogs make too many uncharacteristic mistakes in a match. It’s ALMOST like the chief priests...

There is a distinct difference between diamond and Brunswick tables, both look and how they play. They sound different. Feel different. I’m not trying to be a knocker, but I guess it sounds as such, but what is the allure of this vs a diamond? Where does this table fit in? It very much tries...

I think you have a really good idea and vision. Keep it going.

6:30 pm - “The name’s Coleman. See, says so right on the chair.” “Game you say… well, I normally don’t gamble, but I guess I could. Maybe 1 game? So I can only hit mine in to one pocket? Can I choose which one? Well it sounds fun, but I saw you play and you’re pretty good. Ok if I only sink 4...

In dead punch, I don’t like anyone over Filler. It’s so prime Earl-like that it’s uncanny.

And that’s exactly what has me salivating. This is in a small shopping center, shared with a dollar general, hair salon and a physical therapy office. Besides the 15 or so cars that are in front of the DG at any particular time, the lot remains completely empty. The parking lot is very large...

A mural in the pool room in chronological order of the greats of our sport, wrapping around the entire room

I may or may not be able to properly convey my dream, especially to the level of detail that my Red Bull fueled moment of glorious mania I experienced earlier this morning… but I’m going to do my best to keep it concise yet adequately descriptive. A straight up pool joint is destined to fail...

I’ll give my dream/vision later when I have some time, but how would y’all do it. Layout. Rules. Attractions. Dress code. Security.etc. From what I’ve observed in successful/not places is… it comes down to the girls. If you make the place girl friendly where they feel safe (big one) and...

Prime Buddy vs Filler in 9 ball

Hope you’re never in the market for a 6 speed TT Supra. Cue makers are free to charge whatever they want and buyers will quickly show if they are out of line or if they’ve been undercharging this whole time.
