I wouldn’t be writing this advice about dealing with nervous stress if I wasn’t absolutely sure that I knew from personal experience that it works beautifully as (a) a remarkable de-stressor and (b) a means of assuring that I am able to focus completely and confidently on performing challenging...

If you decide on a new Diamond from any Diamond series, be very, very sure to request -- under their "Pocket Size" option -- "League cut" (4 3/4" corners) rather than accepting "Pro cut" (4 1/2") corners. Pro cut corner pockets are odiously discouraging for casual players, and totally...

Hate to say it in print, but -- giving credit where credit is due -- this is an excellent, logical, economically-expressed post by our beloved villain JN. -- And an extremely appropriate caution for high-Fargo US champs tempted by the dazzling, unprecedented strata of prize monies. Arnaldo...

The OP of this thread shows that RSB's Fast Larry has obviously reincarnated. That loony mutha's not done with us yet. Arnaldo ~ For the youngsters among us, RSB = Rec.Sports.Billiards a long-gone, early online special interest Google Group single-handedly decimated by FL. Here's a taste of...

The eventual Cisero movie simply must include instances of Cisero's marvelous deadpan humor. I can't resist relaying this cute, so-typical instance of it, which the black uber-talented, national-class player -- Rags Woods -- told me about, many years ago (I'm having a laughing fit as I type it...

Jason, your passion and highly professional presentations are oddly under-appreciated on this forum. This is truly excellent image researching and writing in both parts of your two-part compilation. My sense is that you could do the same with any culturally-intriguing subject you cared to...

Hi Jam, -- I know I'll be shamefully off-topic, but reading your poetic description of this point in your life I couldn't resist sending you this quote which -- for my totally non-religious self -- happens (for obvious reasons) to be my favorite literary gem from the Hebrew book of wisdom &...

Agreed, DH. -- And you are so right to duck Jayson. Arnaldo ~ Also don't even think about challenging Jason to try you out in a boxing ring, as you did with Schmidt...

FunChamp: As do all savvy forum regulars, you'd eventually rationally realize that the "folks" who obviously greatly annoy you are not the least interested in having you conform to their viewpoint; they are in fact very interested and gratified (a) that they have annoyed some folks who get...

IMHO: With sufficient incentive, Mosconi could have unquestionably run -- left-handed -- a hundred with the proverbial (30 or so mm) broom handle. Arnaldo ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

No chance, GC. When your IQ is two and 1/2 x room temperature you're too smart to risk cranial cell diminishment. Arnaldo ~ We're only here for a few cosmic seconds -- why waste them by getting ourselves chemically fried and lifespan-abbreviated...

Thx, PT. Actually, the love child of Heinlein-Sagan-Asimov. Arnaldo __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

. . . and not as a video-recorded Efren: I predict that by the year 3000 -- a living hologram -- an imperishable life-endowed hologram of Efren Reyes with all his abilities will be brought in by gamblers to triumph over the AI (Artificial Intelligence) android robots who are winning all the...

Positively Ralf said: ... Still, a fun little match. And I wouldn't call that a controversy at all. More like him [Dallas] calling a foul because he knows the game a hell of a lot more than his opponent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What was the...

Perfect suggestion. Take the initiative, Telly and start it post haste! Compose an intriguing Title, and open the text of your new thread with all of the relevant facts/details associated with the accurate words of yours I've blue-fonted above. All the folks involved in your factual account...

Don't wear out your welcome there prematurely. Out of decent respect and sheer common sense make sure you never break directly off the cloth during these long power break sessions. Bring an 8 or 10" square of scrap Simonis fabric and set the CB on that every time you break. If you didn't do...

Here it is, MON (it aired in 1978): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tTaYlkhDfI The uploader honorably apologized for the poor video quality. The white streaking stops quickly after the first minute. It's the best it can be for about a 4th generation copy (as is apparent via the fuzziness)...

. . . . and rumored to have instantly confronted and toned-down occasional, loud and aggressive mal-acting spectators at a few Mosconi exhibitions over the years. Willie knew all about and trusted his lifetime pal's abilities in that regard. Superstars in any discipline always instinctively...

Charlie, fondly remembered by all pool fans, passed away four years ago. All knew of his long and important relationship with Willie Mosconi, but few were aware of this aspect of his background...

Glad you Loved it, CP. I had a hunch you would. Arnaldo ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
