I haven't heard of 99 either. Post some rules or how to play; it might be called 64 or 37 or even Bang Pow Ramshot Challenge in other parts or the country.

I bought a copy last week, just waiting on the amazon seller to get it to me. I read a teaser excerpt, and although many of his bets were cons and scams I'm impressed by the planning and creativity that went into them.

I'm from Longview, and surprised that anyone else has bothered to stop there. My friend and I, in 6th grade I believe, beat some older guys in a doubles 8 ball game at the bowling alley. They owed us $20 each, and were about to walk out on us when my dad showed up to pick us up. He took one...

The word is certainly overused. Acknowledging that, I think plenty of military folks would call her a hero. You can't fathom how many dicks are drawn on everything in the military. Guy sleeping in class next to you? Pink hi- lighter 2-page wide dick in his notes. Painting the reduction gears of...

I didn't mind the game, and loved the prospect of seeing professional players competing regularly. My contempt is reserved solely for the BB organization who, from the top down, burned bridges in the industry with enthusiasm and viewed the existing pool community and fans (the only viable...

No kidding, I was fully expecting a thread about a shipping mix-up where two ball return set ups were included with a pool table instead of one.

Somebody buy that man a geode!

In my teenage above average banger days, one of our social group members brought a cue his dad had apparently made in high school wood shop. He pushed everyone to the breaking point with his constant bragging about how awesome the cue was, how awesome his dad was, how awesome he was... finally...

I'd like to think that the sender of the email was looking at 2 tips stuck together and thought it was one single, ridiculously long tip.

I voted for playing cue because it's in the players' hands the most. You can't really "miss" on the break as discernibly as with a shot... most bangers up through mediocre players are satisfied with forceful head-ball contact. Jump cues might get whacked on a rail or tossed after a bad attempt...

Maybe you could sweet-talk the delta 13 folks out of 3 corner braces and make the sides with your teak? That would be fairly snazzy.

Now we're just setting up for the "nobody would bet a penny, so I'll never reveal which of the players who went 2-and-out were the undercover monsters" story. Sadly, this is at least a fun troll post. There are only so many alignment and equipment threads I can read before I lose interest...

I really hope somebody like SVB shows up with those goofy black glasses/fake nose/mustache disguises and signs in under an alias. Instant undercover monster!

Oh man, I love Baghdad Bob!

Oddly enough, when I play basement-bootleg-bonus-ball, I use my Aramith Disney balls. There are 7 red Mickey Mouse balls, 7 yellow Minnie Mouse balls, a black Goofy ball, and a mouse-ears logo cue ball. I have yet to wear my Atlanta Scorpions shirt while playing, but I imagine it might be too...

Everything of substance has pretty much been said, so there's no good way for me to slip in another alternate spelling of Brendan's name. That shit's hilarious though.

Info is curiously absent... When they took a month off in May it was known in advance.

We're going to need a promo poster for this match if it goes down... I picture a pile of crumpled up, filthy $1 and $5 bills with a couple handfuls of loose change, some pocket lint, and a stick of gum next to a $50 bill on top of a light. Match info and details being illuminated by the light on...

There is more intelligence and pool savvy in every post ever written by Rhea than anything coming from the OP.

It looks like the joint in the shafts has a taper going towards the joint on each side... Depending on where it was sitting in your bridge hand, maybe that caused the wobble. Either way, 9 feet is a little excessive. Imagine the table room-size requirements!
