Welcome to the Philippines! :)

I always used the matchbook cover from a plain old pack of matches. Open it up and use the inside of the matchbook cover. Moisten the sides of the tip and go at it. I liked firm paper (matchbook cover or ?). Dollar bill fair, soft leather ok, business card or 3x5 index card, not bad, matchbook...

Less than five years Bob. Maybe only one or two years. In California it was only one year, and you could lose your trademark on a name.

This guy was a good con man to get over on Mike, who was very careful. He's probably still out there somewhere, preying on innocent people. He may eventually be caught as this case remains open. I still look for him wherever I go.

David could dab it on the big tables too! He finished second to Earl in the Hollywood Million Dollar Challenge back in the late 90's. All the top players were there. David also played a mean game of Billiards and was no slouch at Snooker. Yes, he made his fame at the bar boxes, but he was an all...

Due to the changes brought on by human induced climate change, we need to build bigger and stronger to withstand the wind and rain that is headed our way more and more as time goes on. It's not going to get any better in the years ahead, only worse!

Grady's "four ball" rule ends all the problems of long One Pocket matches, and it does not materially affect the outcome. The better player will still win, it just won't take as long. I've used this rule several times and it absolutely works! All the other solutions mentioned here are not that...

One thing for sure, this will be a lot more competitive than the MC has been for several years now. Picking a team from all of Asia is more like picking a team from all of Europe. You could probably put together three Asian teams who would be heavy favorites against the USA, sad to say. Similar...

I never played for fun for my first fifteen years playing pool. When I got older I learned how to balance my life a little better. After that I only gambled when asked.

Great, you're a lady killer! Congrats. In my day I played Robin Bell a few times and Mary Kenniston once or twice. I was glad if I could win a match against either one. I also played a few women hustlers and did well with them. I never asked one of them to play. They asked me. Jeannie Balukas...

Why can't we all get along! In the long run that would be the best possible outcome for our sport. Nothing wrong with more than one pro tour. It works in other sports! Just like to point out the total prize money above (WPA + WNT) would not equal the purse in one PGA Tour golf tournament. Just...

You did say that you beat every self professed female pro that you ever met. That covers a lot of territory. You're selecting one small group of women players and forgeting to give credit to the many great women players that are out there now. That strikes me as a bit unfair to the women pros...

Sorry to break it to you but there is a whole crew of Chinese women (Mainland and Taiwan) that could eat you alive! ;)

That ref is clueless! First of all he was out of position to make this call, and it was an obvious good hit! Pretty embarassing to have referees that know nothing about pool. Does not speak well for this event!

He didn't die in there. That was just a rumor. He got out about seven or eight years ago.

I was one of his monkeys a couple of times, sad to say. But you couldn't help but like him, he had such a gift of gab. Played great One Handed, the most powerful stroke I ever saw playing that way. My man Jimmy Reid took him down a notch on Jimmy's first trip to the West Coast. He beat the...

Thanks for this Jan. I saw Jimmy around in Ohio and he was looking for bigger fish to fry, so I never saw him play. Heard that he beat Steve Cook at 9-Ball when he was the best player around Southwestern Ohio. Sorry I missed that one, was kidnapped by the U.S. Army :)! I heard he and Rempe had...

Ha Ha, so funny. I knew them all too well! Whitey was the most low down, disgusting hustler of all time and he played damn good too. Philly Joe was one very entertaining guy who was part of Popcorn's crew out here for several years. He somehow made it as a pit boss in Atlantic City and did well...

On the road with Pancho. That must have been fun. I forgot he spent a lot of his time around Chicago. The furthest I got with him was down to Orange County. He used me to entice somebody else to play him, laying down the lemon with him throwing off some money to me. The next day Pancho goes back...

He only died recently in the last few years. He was in his 90's!
