A very happy birthday to you Earl! I was a bit worried about hitting that milestone, myself, but then I realized it means that I'm halfway to my goal of living to 100. I'm four years past that now and feeling better than I have in 20 years. Keep 'em in the chair! Brian in VA

Awesome work RKC! I always appreciate someone that fixes the root cause rather than slap a bandaid on something because they don't know how to fix the root cause. I don't know if you come through Virginia, but if you make it through Richmond I'd love to have you look at my Anniversary. Brian...

This has strong possibilities. I can see very funny stuff here! Brian in VA

Steve, if we'd know we were going to live this long, we'd have taken better care of ourselves, right? I'll look forward to seeing you in Chesapeake! Glad to hear Rich R. is going to be there too. My guess is the usual suspects will be in attendance. Brian in VA

Good to see you again, Voo Doo! I feel ya on the osteo - I got it in both wrists and it's killed my golf game. (Acupuncture is working for me, though.) I'm doing some other things with my diet to avoid the other things that are bothering me and it seems to be working. Stay well! Brian in VA

Welcome to AZ! Since everyone else has schooled you on some of the tricks of the trade I'll suggest: Go back and read anything started by SmorgAssBored....probably belongs in the AZ HOF. Read anything by JAM...I've never seen her post anything that didn't make me smile and / or think...

Thanks for a wonderful post, Lou! It helped to make me realize how special my bride is to me, too. Best to you and Gail. Hope to meet you some day! Brian in VA

Boy, am I glad to hear I have a future! Brian in VA (Old fart in training)

Proving once again that age and experience will always outlast youthful exuberance! :D Congratulations Randy! You're a stud! Brian in VA

I believe it was Honest Abe Lincoln, a Brunswick table owner, who said, "A pool player's legs should be just long enough to reach the floor." Perfect height for a pool player? Somewhere between 4 and 8 feet tall. Brian in VA

Whatcha givin' up? Kinda close to your work! Brian in VA

If you like the way it feels when you hit a ball with it, buy it. Nothing else really matters. Is $50 a good deal? It is if you like it! If you don't, then it isn't. Carry on! Brian in VA

I'm thinking it's easier than that. How about if each match is given a total amount of time maximum, say an hour, which could be adjusted based on the length of the race. Then each player gets half the total time on their clock. The clock starts at the break and after your turn you press the...

Well done ladies! Take it down in Vegas!!!! Brian in VA

Sorry I missed it! Happy Belated Birthday Keith! Hope your day was terrific in every way! Best regards, Brian in VA

Fact? Um, no. World Standardized Rules, BCA Pool League rules, and all other rules I've seen in the past 10 years state that the 8 ball may never be struck first unless that is the object ball. Here's a couple of examples. The table is open after the break and the shooter hits the 8 ball...

That's great news Billy! Good to see you moving and shaking such a great pool room in a great area! Keep up the good work. I'm going to try and come visit soon! Brian in VA

Hi JAM! I kind of think of it this way. The BCA points list, at least as I understand it, is a ranking of players who have played in a series of events. The ranking is based, solely, on performance and not country or origin. Should it be called something else? Yeah, probably. Best to you...

Here's my .02 on the subject. There is not a single league system that will absolutely satisfy you. You have to find a local league operator whose method for running the league and payout system will satisfy you. How do I know this? I've met players from every sanctioning league system...
