Rain in western Maine has been ridiculous all last night and today. I mean torrents of it, virtual streams running through my yard right now. Last half hour the wind has picked up, and the lights are flickering. I have lots of beer and booze, food and a bbq grill if it comes to that (don't...

Justadub I am hearing it will just be a lot of rain for us up here. Big shocker, like we haven't had torrents of rain already the last week or so! :D

There is not an outback in my zipcode or within an hour's drive from here, but my zip code is "all out" of steaks? I think its a scam also! :) Edit: removing/condensing rest of post down to one line: Jesus just shut your pie hole, eat what you like, and have the common f*cking decency to...

I think the name thing is very regional, and is a midwest/east coast thing. My old boss (from Ohio) was talking once about how good he used to be at cornhole back home and the entire time I was thinking "Jesus christ, wtf kind of prison rape/deliverance farm did this guy grow up on?!" I had...

Neat stuff, thanks for the info. I can imagine it being quite the process! I have done some woodwork myself (but not cues) and it looks like that would be a big PITA to get looking as nice as you do. Again, great looking cue, cheers! :)

Every league has sandbaggers. It is up to the LO to keep an eye on it..if he/she is treating the league as just a generic pay check then it is going to be rampant. Which reminds me: you should always be suspicious of a LO who does not play pool. And by that, I mean someone who cannot run 3...

Maybe he meant to say "how queer is that"??

What a great looking cue, and certainly unique and eye catching! Very nice job! I'd be curious to see pictures of the steps involved in doing work like that, but I imagine that would just cause worries about people copying and ripping off style//method etc. :(

Does Richard Helmstetter still make any cues himself by hand? His earlier stuff was amazing.

^^^ That is an awesome post and spot on. Your particular league operator has everything to do with how your league is run, and if it is fun and fair.....or not. The national org has little bearing on any of that. Give it a try, its always better to be playing than not, and always good to...

How many of those "other sports" are played in bars? Read his entire post. He makes some good points.

Actually it is the law in AZ that you are required to give someone off the street water for free. That came about because a homeless guy got refused water at a bar in Kingman in the summer and went out and croaked in the heat, according to the liquor licensing people at the liquor classes you...

I agree with Vagabond. Someone 'hustling' by going on the lemon, or losing to a good local player to set up a match with a lesser gambler doesn't bother me. I think most people wouldn't care too much about that. I mean it takes two to tango, so the guy getting 'hustled' by someone doing that...

On Q cases. Amazing, ridiculous workmanship and quality. Truly 'work of art' level cases. Wish I could afford one. :(

Who is Gus playing right now? I can't tell who it is, the guy avoids the camera like a vampire :D Thanks for the free stream Lenny, always appreciated and fun to watc these. :)

Its a concession, no ifs ands or buts. It is for sure a concession in every league format too. Unless the guy who did it is buddies with the LO or something :lol:

I understand your feelings on that, but in the US many states do not allow outside beverage to be brought in any place that serves alcohol (Arizona being a good example). The thinking here is that the licensee has no way of knowing what exactly is being brought in, and no way to 'police' outside...

You keep saying this, but your posts have been pretty clear to everyone. If people consistantly take the wrong meaning from your posts maybe you should work on expressing your thoughts better.

Every now and then someone will bring one of these into a pool hall. They are neat and all, but not worth anything. I've seen them at swap meets for $10.

Jamgolf, about how many league players do you have? Is it in-house or travel (or did I miss you saying that somewhere)? :)
