I actually learned to play on a 10 foot snooker table with regular sized balls. I was so proud when I finally broke and ran out a rack of 9 ball on it. Despite playing on that thing for a couple years, I've ran out very seldom. I'd mosey on down to an 8 or 9foot and it was much, much easier to...

Busta stormed through too: 11-2 Oliver Ortmann 11-8 Ko Pin Yi 11-6 Marlon Manalo 11-5 Francisco Filicilda 11-5 Antonion Lining 13-7 Kuo Po Chen He was clearly the best player this year by a big margin.

Not bad, but for more critical work, you may want to avoid using any of the auto-filters in Photoshop. Looks like a dust & scratch removal was applied (or did you just blur it on purpose?), which causes a distinct unsharpness and lack of grain. Because the picture is so old, you probably don't...

There are some videos of Larry Nevel jumping from what appears to be closer than this on youtube.

This guy is on a tear! Wins 11-5 Joey Arbuckle Wins 11-5 Jeremy Jones Wins 11-7 Alex Pagulayan Wins 11-0 Ernesto Dominguez (was this a forfeited match?) Wins 11-1 Tony Robles He's been making mincemeat out of some serious firepower.

On the monkey typewriter thing: Trying for a 1,000,000 character book (a few hundred pages depending on font & page size), the chance of any one monkey producing it on any single "attempt" is about 1 in 10^(1,600,000). This assumes 40 inidividual characters on the typewriter. A million monkeys...

are you playing 9-ball? if so, he fouled and you get ball-in-hand (you can put the cueball anywhere you want then shoot).

when you break, plant the cueball in the middle of the table, and have it kicked into a pocket.

i don't think any of the resemble a sport in any way. nyjoe is correct - except for nascar they are all games. nascar fits into the category of automobile racing from f1 down to go-karts.

it's nice isn't it RJ! i'm an intuitive player and have fallen into deadstroke a couple times. i rarely run an open rack of 9ball but on one occasion i broke and ran 3 racks in a row like it was the easiest thing in the world. the pockets looked enourmous and as if they were 10 inches away...

definitely quality work. can you give me some general specs? typical exposure length, ISO setting, aperture, camera, lens, ... i'm a semi-professional B&W fine art photographer so don't take this the wrong way: you obviously have the technical side of these pictures, but i think you could...

you are required to break the lights over the table any time it is possible. suggested methods: stand up from a shot where you are leaned way over the table, hitting the overhead lights when you really need to show your manliness, hit the cueball as hard as you can and let the cue tip swing...

when you and your buddy lose to a pair of females, pretend you let them and then ask for their numbers lewdly.

I gotta stand up for the dude with the 500mm lens, because I own one myself, and he's clearly and level-headedly stated his opinions. Obviously JAM is going to defend Keith (who I am a fan of). It is incredible the things you can see from a distance with a 500mm lens: "Gee, that football...
