Well you can certainly believe it. I spent a lot of time at the hospital with Bugs and his family in his last few months, and his family, especially his sister, was enraged when she found out he had been elected into the Bank and One Pocket Hall of Fame and none of his family attended or knew...

Great times, indeed. The table you are referring to is also where St Louie Louie broke his cue after he had already pawned it to six different tush-hogs and they all showed up to collect on it at once. Beard

I posted this a while back. Originally Posted by freddy the beard Not only is it a good book but it is being revised as we speak, with diagram upgrades and the addition of another 50 pages. Be ready in about a month. You can purchase it at my site. Beard Unfortunately, Randi Givens never...

Sorry to hear of his passing. Bernie was a fun guy, as was his wife Ruthie. She gambled almost as high as he did playing gin rummy. I, like Jay, was glad that I got to see him one more time at DCC a couple years back. We talked one more time when he called me after his trip to DCC, and kept...

Bob, is that the first Joe Davis book? I would say no. I used to have his first offering - which I personally rank as one of the top instructional books ever; it had a red cover?- but as I recall, his 2nd offering wasnt quite up to the first. It has been so long ago I have forgotten why I made...

That is John Popcorn Miller. I need you to send (email) me one too. Beard

There are 19 spots still open. 100, 99 and 88 are already taken. Beard

After the edits, the photos (240+) have to be resized and inserted into the pages one by one. Then after the cover design in done, it gets sent to the printer. That is a 10 days to 2 weeks process. I am shooting for about 4 more weeks. Beard

I am finally finished with the writing part of my book, and I am now heading down the home stretch. “All” that is left are the final edits. However, it is a daunting task, 500 pages. The format for my book is a little more complicated than the usual book form. But thank God I have my pal...

I have been selling Bill Smith's books and DVDs on my site and Amazon for over 3 years and there has never been any sort of a purchase problem that we couldnt address. To jump on the forums and badmouth someone, especially a forum brother, over a piddly $23 is way over the top. There was never...

Got that one. It is one of the pics of Lori in my book. Beard

At Grady's Legends tournament in So Philly Billiards, I watched Red slip-stroke a long, winning straight-back into the triple-shimmed pockets for $30,000 playing Cornflakes Hennigan last pocket 9-ball. Wade Crane, Buddy Hall and I were all betting $1800 apiece on CornPone. He slip-stroked it...

I spent months and months around the Rack in Detroit. To say CornBread wasnt a top-tier player is laughable. (especially when he is denied world-class status playing 1pkt on a snooker table.) The man that said all that, has a thing against players that are loud, outgoing, big-money gamblers...

Actually CJ, the guy was a snooker player, and he said "snooker" not 9 ball. Detroit Whitey had already beat on the guy and he sent Red into the heat-trap. Of course Red overcame it. Beard (To find out much more about The Rooster (CornBread), I am writing a book.):)

This is an excerpt from EOPH, my book: I just realized that I wrote this previously, long before I answered with the above post. It's strange, that I posted the above opinion almost verbatim from what I wrote years ago. Lori Shampo Detroit, MI – Highest rolling female pool player – Probably...

He is gone and already cremated. Bunny commenting on Kilroy, from my book: Kilroy” (Roy Kosmolski) and I were on the road and he was posing as an executive that was opening a tomato-canning factory. I had the truck driver’s uniform and a beard, so they never connected us anywhere. Kilroy was...

I cant believe Robin said Jean was a B player. Robin had as much chance against Jeannie as a burp in a Typhoon. Beard Robin couldnt beat Lori on any table -- if they were gambling -- and Robin did gamble.

Jean Balukas is my pick for the greatest female player of all time. I was the first male pro player that she played when she was allowed to compete against the men. She made an example out of me, beating me 11 to 2, shooting an accu-stats game number of plus 900! She went on to beat Kim...

When Lori Shampo approached Jean Balukas at a tournament with an offer to play 9-ball for big money, this was her opening line. "If you play me some 9 rock, I will shoot your ovaries out!" Lori could play $1000 9-ball -- and did. Beard

Got it, thanks. #74 Beard
