Gotta be careful with that. I was driving in rural Quebec once at 5:00am and had a guy run down the side of the swale yelling and waving at me. Like you, I didn't stop. Looked like a nutter to me :-) There was a huge stone cliff on the right-hand side of the road and just as I got to the end...

I agree. I have Mephistos that cost 3 times what I paid for my Rockport 'World Tour' walking shoes and they are not nearly as comfortable.

I've read it... :-)

How's this? The Blood-Red Cue - David E. Malone - Mar 16, 2002 Back in the days when the old Gods ruled amid ignorance and strife A cue was built of sacred wood from a branch of the tree of life. The ferrule was carved from the bone of a roc and the points were unicorn. And the stain was made...

Smorg classic... I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned Smorg's match when he played someone called (I think) Jim-Bob for his "Bob". This was back in the old RSB days. Smorg, of course, won and started calling himself 'Tampa Tubby-Bob' while poor Jim-Bob was only allowed to call himself Jim...

My wife was playing in a Scotch doubles tournament at Shooters Sunday and after they lost, her partner left. She had to play in the CPA league later so she had some time to kill. She was doing drills with shots down the rail when somebody tapped her on the shoulder and asked if she would mind...

When I first started playing pool I joined the VNEA. We played in some really ugly dives and I have some stories... like getting my cue butt caught in the pocket of a drunk staggering by... or the time I missed a shot because the waitress dropped a french fry on the table and it deflected the...

More like pure plagiarism... <g> I stole the original concept from a 'leadership' training course I attended once and adapted it to try and explain to JAM what was happening when she joined RSB back in the 'good old days'...

Having to still work for a living is hell, Joey. Otherwise I'd have gotten here sooner... :-)

I suggest you ask JAM - she was the original 'new monkey' and the reason I wrote the Monkey Principle in the first place...

If you haven't heard, Donald Tees passed away a few years back. I know who the WPBA pro is, but who was this waitress who kept giving you head? Inquiring minds, etc... <g>

Almost vertically, thank &deity. Yes, Paul was one-of-a-kind and a true gentleman.

Here's my 'geometric' Layani player... Sorry about the picture quality.

Great article, Lou... as usual. Speaking of Meuccis, some of you may remember the late Paul Mon - a wonderful human being, as well as a pretty accomplished pool player. He made the trip to Toronto in March of 2001 with his favourite 'Moochi' in the trunk of his car... here's a couple of...

Show-off... :-) Here's a hybrid Tucker/Layani... one of a kind.
