    Always Use Chalk First

    There's no doubt at all that that guy will blend in perfectly with all of the rest of the world's idiots. :grin:

    Tips and glue?

    Do you mean one that won't deteriorate? Super glue gel is what I always used, and most everyone here uses it, as well. 3M was the best when I was doing tips. :smile:

    Unusual 1pkt situation...what is the rule?

    We play it as a foul, also. The same as knocking a ball off the table. The pocketed ball is spotted along with a penalty ball. Rather than a cue ball foul it's a procedural foul. Like not shooting behind the head string, or sliding a ball up to the foot spot, or pinching a waitress on the...

    Orcullo vs. Frost- Live Reports

    That was Eddie Williamson's pool room down on Walnut Street. Eddie passed away last year. I was 17 years old the few times I played on it. One of those tables still exists in Joplin. :smile:

    Orcullo vs. Frost- Live Reports

    Things aren't going Scott's way, that's for sure, but on a lighter note, that older couple to the right of the screen has been there all three days. I find that encouraging. :)

    I have a question to ask about Dennis n Scott's match

    I lost my train of thought once, too. I woke up in the Union Station, in Kansas, City. :scratchhead:

    Orcullo vs. Frost- Live Reports

    What? Me exaggerate? I'll tell you one thing, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I sat here on this little hard stool in front of the computer until my butt ached, and plan to do it again this afternoon. Like others have mentioned, Scott was a tad tentative in the beginning, but like throwing a...

    Orcullo vs. Frost- Live Reports

    I agree, it's great when it's free. Thanks Lenny. I appreciate it. Christ amighty, is One Pocket slow, or what? It took three hours to play the first four games. That's...uh, let's see...uh...three divided by...uh...carry the two...uh...subtract eight minutes for a smoke. Wow, three hours to...

    lets talk about banned azers.

    Yes, I did, much to my eternal regret. But I have seen the light. My incarceration at the AZBPCFM has shown me the way, and since that time I have been a model member of this fine organization. Of course I did have a bit of a run in with PJ, RJ, Asiasdad, Goldenflush, and maybe a couple of...

    How rude is this?

    I've seen it before. It's a signal from a waitress to one of the customers. It means: Meet me in the parking lot in one hour. Bring cash. :smile:

    lets talk about banned azers.

    Several years ago I was banned for six weeks for calling JoeyA a name. When I look back on it I can't believe I actually did something like that, especially since Joey and I are good friends. But, to tell you the truth, I wasn't the same person back then either. Too much booze, and too much...

    Leather for burnishing shaft

    As you know, Bounty is the quicker picker upper, so hell yes, go right ahead. I always used Sparkle because it reminded me of the diamond my first wife wore. The one she pawned to pay for the divorce. I get a lump in my throat just talking about it. :smile:

    Leather for burnishing shaft

    I never used leather. Instead I used Sparkle paper towels, folded in half. Here's the reason. Most pieces of leather are so thick that you can't feel the heat as it builds up from the friction you generate when working the shaft. This is especially problematic when burnishing ferrules. Some...

    I Do This Daily, Do You?

    I almost always do it early in the morning, and on a fairly regular basis. I eat breakfast. What did you think I do? :grin-square:

    Scotch doubles - who shoots after pushout?

    What if the cue you're playing with is a Miracle? :D

    I'm just kidding. You asked a very good question, and it looks like you've had some very good answers, especially from Dave. He knows his stuff. :smile:

    Learning about myself and the game

    It is a good thing, and be thankful for it. Being a narcissist is not the way to live a life. There was a fellow I used to play golf with who, in his youth, was an up and coming prizefighter. He was big, strong, and light on his feet. Whenever we would bump fists after a good putt it felt like I...

    Insanity. How does a payer like this not have a sponsor?

    Drinking is what keeps these games alive. If you don't believe that then come over to Billiards Sports Bar and Grill, on Friday, and Saturday night. Take the booze away and the only thing left is the pool table in your basement. And, more in keeping with the thread, lets hope this young...
