ban him and it

Price?

Not the first or last time someone will make a buck off one of my ideas -- but school colors, alone or added, are needed. Hell, LSU boys may not be able to read and write, but they can always recognize purple and gold.

All of this talk of speed reminds me of my old girlfriend's plea, "For Gawd's sake, BB, if you can't be good, be quick."

My recollection is that JPs weren't around in '77 and then slowly started showing up in the early to mid '80s. Two things to consider: I grew up in the Deep South and spent '79 through '82 in the Deepest South -- Ole Miss. While I lived in Oxford, two piece cues began showing up more...

Been using specialty gloves all of my life to shuck oysters (they are tough on gloves, especially the thumbs): First thumb wears out, just . . . beats saving the "other" glove and turning it inside out when the first glove's thumb is gone.

#225 above: "'From a message I got from Anton: 'The joint is not Quick Release. It is our standard metric M6 joint we came up from years of experience'"

Probably just a matter of knowing what won't work as opposed to what will.

Does anyone else find this thread, or its subject, to be confusing? With the exception of a Scruggs with a "modified", none of my cues have exotic pins, so I guess I should just consider myself lucky and not struggle to understand things I don't need to understand.

I caught the last tech train leaving the station. I learned DOS and very little after that. At work, I depended on books and paper.

What was your query? "AZB forum is indexed by Google, just use Google." This is really excellent advice. I got your same result and will "never" use AZB's Search again. Would like to know more. Would hope someone here knows. Seems there is a distinct shortage of old "industry" folks on...

Too easy.

Yep. Most always do. Pulled up every FS thread that included JPs. AZ's search function is often frustrating.

Once a rarely seen item, now they are everywhere. Someone must know something. Who? When? Where?

Time was my pool hall had everything I needed to work on a cue in a box behind the counter -- remember, the cues belonged to them. The contents of the box -- scuffer, shaper, sandpaper, Scott's pad, etc., -- were all there for everyone to use. (When you got a cue tuned up right, you tried to...

Cases don't need handles and pockets as much as a cue needs a case. The old "naked" tube cases were a much welcomed addition when they came. Some folks just don't know, or can't remember, where pool actually comes from. Thankfully, there are some "modern" pool players who have their priorities...

The two men depicted on the coin are the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous.

We all fight our demons in different ways. Some can face things alone and successfully white knuckle or cold turkey. Others have to have support. Whatever works, works, but there is not enough regret in the world to manage failure. Judgment of anyone does not serve us well.

I have. Been a while, but I am thinking he is out of it. I was trying to get a table looked at in Pensacola. At any rate, he could not help me.

We're rich! This is what I call a "wealth of information". Thanks to all of the unselfish compilers and contributors!
