Hi, I've owned a table with MasterFast cushions.They were 30 years old, at least, and were plenty lively. They're very high quality rubber. I doubt if there's any asbestos in the rubber compound. You'll be OK unless you visit their former manufacturing facility in Connecticut... it's a super...

Billiards Cafe Have a look at the Billiards Cafe in Ayer. A nice room. ... about 30 minutes drive.

Steinway put in a Rasson as their TV table for the 14.1 tournament in September. Of course, that only means they were sponsors and paid for the exposure. You might get some feedback on how that table played from the straight pool forum.

I believe the balls were new. Can anyone verify this? Part of Aramith's sponsorship seems to be new balls for their events. The boxes were out in view and the balls were machine washed after each match. I don't think they had been used before the tournament. The balls weren't spreading very...

We are thinking along the same lines. i was referring to the logo on Immonen's vest, not what's in his pocket... not sure what chalk he actually uses. Banned?... No, Just call it the new, new thing... or maybe the new [foolishly] expensive thing, or the new highest horsepower thing. I'm...

Well, the answer may be on Immonen's vest.... He's sponsored by Kamui and if he uses the chalk, that may be the reason. It's very soft. I 'd be more annoyed by a skid that cost me a match than an annoying impatient viewer.

Mr Westcoast, Thanks again for the dispatches... it was good fun. ...like fireside chats on the radio with President Roosevelt . well, maybe not. Dave

I appreciate you taking the time to keep us informed about the match. Thank you

There's on street parking with meters. It's not too difficult to find a space, but you'll be feeding the meter. There's some off street too. It's not like you're in Manhattan. Astoria is a pretty laid back residential neighborhood, for New York. No high rises. I like spending time there...

Juggler I feel your pain. They don't seem to care and are oblivious to the basics of running a sporting event. The best thing you can do is jump on the R train and see the good and the bad with your own eyes. The quality of play will be worth it. The business end, well that's another matter. If...

I got a rise out of your colleague Bob Jewett with "Bright Lights" Bob, after he beat SVB on the TV table at the straight pool tournament in Windsor Locks this spring. Hi Bob>>> :-] See you at Steinway next month!

UV is a killer and something like fiberglass or plastic is bound to suffer. I'd first try something like a Magic Eraser, which has a very fine abrasive in it... next would be Barkeeper's Friend. Try it in an area that isn't too visible... but you knew that! :-] This is the physician's...

Easy to add to this list. How about> Crass stupidities shall not be played upon the reader by either the author or the people in the tale.

Finals tomorrow...? I've seen results, but not the schedule. If anyone knows tomorrow's [Thursday] schedule, posting this would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'll take that advise. Thank you. Jerking off in public isn't pretty. ;-]

an innocent bystander Lawyers, Guns and Money by Warren Zevon I put this at the top of my list, and I'd say, it captures the moment pretty well. The guitar solo is by Waddy Wachtel I believe. I went home with a waitress the way I always do How was I to know she was with the Russians, too...

a new forum? Great Idea! I'll propose it then... Axe to Grind feel free to move it over there and knock yourselves out if you need to step it up a notch... move to the sub forum "Pissing Match" I'm sick of these petty digressions.

To continue the painting plastic laminate portion of this thread... XIM makes specialty primers for hard to bond to surfaces. They've been purchased by whoever owns Rustoleum. I've used their UMA primer, which mentions plastic laminate as one of the surfaces that the primer will adhere to. My...

The man chooses his words carefully. It's wise to be circumspect about what you write. There's a lesson to be learned here... AZer? From what I've read, I'm betting on Bob to win the whole thing.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you there... excited to have this in my neighborhood. Although, excluding the pool playing, a few days in Windsor Locks won't be quite as much fun as being in Queens. ;-]
