I'm using one similar to this: but I don't recall the specific brand. It came with several different shaped holders. I use the round for Taom. I put it in my shirt pocket instead of my pants pocket and it works great as long as I don't forget and 'sit the chalk on the table'...

I really like this! I have several very old Dufferin basic 'house cues' which are all in very good condition. I'd love to have one made into a SP, the more plain, the better. What you've done is pretty much what I have in mind. Now I just need to find someone to make the conversion for me.

You've lived enough for any three normal people, Rusty!

Don't know how I got along so far without one of these! Definitely needs to be part of my BBQ repertoire!

Looks like Johnny Trigg!

I see two flaws with your example: 1. In an unrestricted, free market system, the 500 'wise ants' certainly would have accumulated enough wealth through application of their superior knowledge in order to fund the solution amongst themselves without the need to 'tax' another 'couple hundred...

I occasionally consider replacing my 28 year old set of Centennials with a new set. Last time I looked, maybe a year ago, seems like they were around $250 USD. I just looked again and they're now $560. Has the price increased this much due to inflation, etc.? Has the formula or...

This makes me want to go out and fire up the smokers!

Formula One racing's worldwide TV viewership and personal attendance is topped only by that of soccer. I expect if you included all of 'auto racing' or certainly all of 'motor sports', the numbers would be greater than soccer.

I expect the 'Red Bull Story' is the focus of countless MBA classes and dissertations, especially the marketing aspects. As a long time F1 fan, I was at first skeptical of their entry into the sport (most newcomers fail miserably and suffer huge financial losses). However, they quickly...

Also a batting aid for Houston Astros.

In the mining industry, it's MSHA, which has even more rules and more restrictions than OSHA. While working at a gold mine, I recall at least two instances where employees were fired for posting photos taken inside the mine site on social media. The company was absolutely paranoid about some...

Reminds me of the time my middle-school-age son and I got into building and modifying model rockets. We had the not-so-bright idea of omitting the parachute and filling the nose cone with black powder. The plan was that the engine charge intended to dislodge the nose cone and deploy the...

No TV! And I wish I could ban cell phones. Drives me mad to complete a run to look up and see my competitor on their phone.
