Forgive me if this was addressed somewhere after the first post, but can you say how the field is drawn for competition? Is it a random draw, seeded, or something else? Thanks Jay!

Sorry to hear about the bad deal. Now charge your phone!

So the FORUM should get her a tablet? I have a laptop... you do realize that they are specifically designed to be portable? Look, I like rooting for the underdog as much as anyone, but you never go full retard... YOU NEVER GO FULL RETARD!!! I'll sooner buy Andrew Cleary's assorted Vegas...

On other searches like google, and probably the forum search also, put it in quotation marks to only return results with the full term in quotes. Like this "Wes Hunter" Edit: just did it and confirmed that I was correct. Yay me!

Neither Dave, nor Buster, will miss the annual $100 likely lost due to not having the OP's patronage. I never understood going some place that doesn't cater to a specific need and demanding/expecting something that 99.9% of the customer base doesn't need or doesn't care about.

I like to play pool with balls sometimes, just when I feel fancy.

There was a Meucci "sneak a peak" cue for sale locally a few weeks ago on Craigslist. Ironically, there were no pictures in the ad.

I'd say its only 3 wasted years if you didn't get a marketable skill from them, tell us about what you did for 3 years in the Army (job, quals, assignments, etc)

Needed to bump this thread to show a new member cue pics. He's looking for contact info for cue makers in the DFW area, if somebody can help out with John Nemec's info it would help. thanks!

John Nemec built me a custom cue with a few somewhat unique requests (non-traditional materials). He's reasonable on price and great to work with, and the cue plays great!

I enjoy playing with the measles ball on the prevalent faster cloth found almost everywhere. Red circles seem to play like pinballs, and on worn Simonis (particularly on bar tables) makes playing with the red circle practically unbearable to me. I imagine this is akin to the "best break cue"...

I've almost had my pockets ripped off by the corner castings on a few bar tables... But nothing like the OP!

Since a picture is worth 1000 words, I was REALLY tempted to post an enormous picture of an ancient rowboat as an example of trolling. Like the picture in one of your other threads. I'm on my iPad though, and can't easily do so.

When did TAR become a request-based venue? Ok, I'll go next. I propose TAR host a Mosconi cup rematch with all possible player combinations to cover the "what would've happened if ___________" scenarios. Justin can figure out the scheduling, money, and logistics for everything. I just want to...

Remember that time when JCIN of TAR said something along the lines of "never again" concerning working with Earl? He's a dynamic player, and fascinating to watch when he's steamrolling his opponents. I just don't think we're going to see Earl on TAR again.

When I was really getting into league play and beyond-banger level pool, I started with a Meucci cue. I naively assumed everything Meucci was good quality, and would pay a premium for the name. I also routinely searched eBay for Meucci items that were unique for my "collection." While there...

Was it... the Nazis?:D (the end is near!)

Wasn't the offer something like "Any game, on any table, for any amount Gene can post?" Hobby Lobby has a sale right now, I can pick up a frame for the Grudge Match 2 poster if this goes anywhere...

That puts me bidding on Rodney's shirt then.

Barking4Action didn't specify which he was bidding on, so I just went with the "other" jersey. If he doesn't have a preference then I'll take another Johnny A jersey... He's slim enough that the shirt's easy to frame! I assume that he (Johnny A) would be ok holding Rodney's jersey for me to pick...
