You're all too young to know the true origin. It's called the kitchen in several sports for the very logical reason that it's where you SERVE from -- as with the kitchens of all homes, no matter how basic or ultra-luxurious the housing may be. Arnaldo ~ I'm in my ninth decade and I heard that...

Get back to work, THam. The gal in room 5 entertaining "guests" needs new towels. Arnaldo ________________________________________________________________________________________

When I was still in my single digits-old I learned that a country has a defined perimeter -- whether an island country or a country amidst a cluster of nearby countries. Arnaldo...

Earl's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EarlStricklandWorldChampion/about Earl's official website: https://earlstrickland.com/ Who doesn't like to see a world-class player harvesting back a few shekels -- during his Golden Years -- from decades of contributing his unique excitement...

Billiards Digest magazine and Pool & Billiards magazine should get on the concept your valid question enterprisingly or inadvertently implies. There's great reader interest/human interest in conceivable interviews and the resulting articles that emanate. It's an age-old -- why did HE enter --...

TCC, I get a hearty laugh-out-loud chuckle whenever I read those nine new words under your TCC handle: ("pool is stupid and i hate all of you") Muchas Gracias. Arnaldo ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Regarding diminished in-person spectating, there are obviously many, many factors involved, but certainly some percentage of folks here and abroad -- who won't publicly admit to it -- are fully aware that Covid and its ongoing permutation-generating processes still exist and those airborne...

Each match is set up as "He has to reach 100 points before you reach 35." Any national-class player will try that for a few matches. Arnaldo ~ Adjust parameters as necessary for either party. See whose wallet or will diminishes first...

Dan (Dan T. I'm guessing from the guitar and lndy location) -- I'm personally glad and entertained to see some Straight Pool woofing on the forum. I'm convinced that a Dan T. vs Dan H. (Harriman) matchup, appropriately weighted would be worth filming, perhaps streaming. Neither gambler would...

Arnaldo ~ Good logic on your part, Straightline _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I think you've nailed the precise explanation, Cuedup. It's likely that someone will eventually find the in-print 9-ball set of rules that were officially operating during the years around 1986, and those in-print rules will confirm essentially what was passed onto you at one time -- probably...

At the I:22:50 point of the below 1986 Sigel-Garcia match (which had $40,000 first-place prize money) you'll see Mike scratch on the break -- then seconds later -- expert commentator, Jim Rempe says: "One-Ball goes down" and the ref is seen pushing the One into a pocket. I don't remember the...

One of my once-favorite competitive sports. (This ain't no game.) Current US record lifts: Arnaldo ~ My own record in the 1970s while training for a bench press competition: 315 for three reps. Bodyweight 225.

I've heard a lot folks futilely waited for a similar announcement during all of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 while spectating pool events. Like prez adios lightning is going to strike twice in the same kind of environment. :rolleyes: Arnaldo...

Three excellent, well-expressed and reasoned paragraphs, Hu, and I'm stimulated to offer a practical route to the wonderful desired result (a fourth edition with the same overall quality and look as the third edition): There are a substantial amount of very wealthy collectors of all manner of...

RKC: I find your detailing of the exact mechanical reasons behind your opinions to be extremely insightful, informative and respect-worthy. You clearly demonstrate many decades of hands-on experience. Arnaldo ~ Huge lifetime fan of scientific, medical, and mechanical expertise...

Couldn't resist. What do you do here: Arnaldo _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Couldn't agree more. And dying because of a nursing home is similarly lamentable (and does happen). Many thanks for the update MON. Danny and I were born in the mid-1930s within a few months of each other in NY state. Pleased to say I've unfailingly enjoyed spending time with him since the...

If you didn't see it, this was last Sunday's exciting, even scary "60 Minutes" report on present and future capabilities of Artificial Intelligence. The single most fascinating episode of the CBS Sunday nights program "60 Minutes" that I've ever seen during my 55 years of watching it (the show...

Scott offers to explicitly describe/enumerate the problems over the phone which indicates to me that he sensibly intuits the elementary fact that Predator has far deeper pockets than he does should Predator initiate a lawsuit for what their attorneys will contend are actionably libelous...
