Well, for accuracy's sake, not that it matters, but I been here under this name prolly since the day AZ billiards forum was stood up in it's original form. I checked some old threads under this name, and this one goes back to at least 2006. I believe in the "old" version of AZ billiards, I was...

Based on the overwhelmingly negative responses in this thread, I just pulled the trigger with Mr. Wilson to confirm the account deletions. Gotta say I'm a little disappointed with a few of the posters here (such as HawaianEye) whose posts I generally enjoyed reading. It just looks like a lot of...

I wanted to clarify the issues I had with your responses, so nobody thinks you are Mr. Innocent in all this. I am kinda pissed off at Mr. Wilson specifically for this ban, as I believe your behavior was completely inappropriate in the thread in question. In summary, I am in Germany, I bought a...

Russ Chewning/ShortBusRuss here. I just sent the below PM to Mr. Wilson. Just saying goodbye to all the good peeps on here, and a big F U to trentfromtoledo, who polluted no less than half of the threads I saw on the Mechanics forum. I like most of the peeps on here.. Come say Hi to me if you...

Not sure what this means? Is it because I am a C player? I guarantee a whole bunch of people want to see me get beat up by a fellow C, or anyone, for that matter, with a proper spot.. Short Bus Russ

Whot about me???? Short Bus Russ

How about Smooth Criminal, eh? I actually bet $200.00 on the Bartram/JJ match. My fellow bettor disappeared after the match. I am hoping I do not have to put him on blast, as he is a well known player who posts here. Short Bus

Perfect! I remember now... Jim lives minutes from my sister-in-law... I have his info now and will contact him when I get back from DCC... Thanks. Short Bus

I actually seem to remember there being someone in the Tacoma, WA area that made all sort of fancy wood joint protectors, some with Inlays, but cannot for the life of me remember who It was. There is nothing like this at DCC, and I cannot find the guy on Ebay any more. Anyone know? Thanks...

FWIW, I saw most of the Batram/Van Boening match, and the main factor was the use of the Magic rack, and frankly, a few good rolls for SVB. SVB prolly failed to make a ball on the break mebbe 5 times in the match, and when he did, Batram was hooked. Not sure if I remember Bartram missing any...

PM sent, Lee... SBR

Well, if'n it is a battle of the donkeys, I will throw my hat in the ring. I am a C player, and I might stink it up on the TAR table, but I have a feeling a lot of people would watch me play a short race on the undercard with another 'lesser' player.. :-} Short Bus Russ

I totally disagree with the OP. I have absolutely no nostalgia for any GC model at all. If I am going out for a 4-5 hour practice session, I will travel 35-40 miles to practice on Diamonds rather than play on Gold Crowns 5 minutes down the road. 1. I don't miss getting rubber on the shaft of...

I would absolutely love to get a copy, but the $25.00 price point seems kind of steep? I was under the impression this is a paperback book? Am I mistaken? Russ

Here for another week, and I have been to Hawaiin Brian's, and it is as others have said. All but one table is in poor condition,and all are huge pockets. Any Azer's know of any tight tables here in Honolulu, either public or private? Pool scene is pretty pathetic here for being Rodney Morris's...
