We get ours from local supermarket - mostly by people who are too fat to walk, little lone drive a vehicle.

It just means that it costs less to be a billionaire in the US than the rest of the world.

I travelled to the opposite side of the globe from Sydney for a break. Then trekked to a contemporary art gallery at the end of land, only to find her art exhibit - John would have been the bread winner for sure.

I work with what's available. Anything else is miles away. But maple is a softwood and grain can be a problem. Birch sounds like a US thing - not common here. Anyway, for drumskin it comes down to hardness, ply thickness and the number of layers, right?

Mostly marine ply - leftovers from a camper fitout. I may have bought in some thin ply for the drum skin. Tried to keep the skins as thin as possible and as hard a wood as possible. One of them was pine which sounded too dull.

Yes, I made one after another, and yes, they are are uncomfortable to play, unless you sit in a chair with the cajun tilted back at you. The one in the middle is higher and a tad more comfortable. Size wise, this is how they usually come. I also have one with a built-in kick pedal. That is...

Is this the one in Norway/Sweden titled "Black on black"?

Yes, horses for courses (or should it be causes) - anything to promote the sport.

I haven't heard of that one. Is it very popular? Today, most cuesport associations seem to be using a ranking system of of some kind - most useful for seeding tournament draws. I understand how such systems can work having designed a similar thing into one version of BallStream scoreboards...

Just imagine - all the time that we have put into poking at a white ball with a stick, if that time was put into something like chemistry and physics, we might all be rocket scientists.

In our house the message is simple... "Hey bro, you want me to pee here or outside?"

This view only works works where one believes in a god and that their god is the only god.

"Who's god" is an abbreviation of "who is god" and nothing to to do with anyone, and regardless of whether a god exists or not that god/s can be no-one's until accepted as a god by them. So a god is not a god until one accepts that being as a god, right?

So true, especially when the earth is not flat and travels about 1,000 mph at the Equator.
