I'm afraid it's just you, Slasher. :D

The little town I'm from only had one poolroom, and it was in the back of a Chinese restaurant. The owner was poor and couldn't afford spittoons so if a patron needed to spit he had to go outside. Many a time I've seen someone running for the backdoor, their cheeks bulging with tobacco juice. A...

Nor I. But, tell me, my friend. Why is it that all the instructors who populate this forum are of the opinion that who they are, and what they say, is heaven sent? It baffles the hell out of me. Rarely do they contribute to the more mundane comings and goings of this place, although I will say...

You stroke that much and you'll go blind. Or, at least until you need glasses. :smile:

Do what me and my buddy did when we were kids going to the Saturday matinees. Walk in the front door backwards and they'll think your leaving. Works almost every time. :)

Pt, our friend Scott had his ass handed to him in another thread and is a bit piqued. I agree with you. A pendulum stoke in combination with a long bridge is inviting disaster. :)

Tonight we shall explore the twisted mind of a psychopathic pool player by the name of Leonard Stark. Mr. Stark is a hard working cab driver by day, and a hustler turned murderer, by night. But, first......a word from our sponsor.

If you think that this is the first time someone has gotten the wording screwed up on a poll, you've got another think coming. I remember when a pollster asked the question, "Do you smoke after sex?" One of the ladies responded with, "I don't know. I never looked." :D

Add a little Midol to that if you become a bit cranky. :smile:

For the most part you answered your own question. As for being taught the things you mentioned from an instructor, it can't be done. Unless, of course, you have a spare bedroom and plenty of cash. :smile:

You flatter me, sir, but of course you're right. A person does play his, or her, or it's best with a cue from Steamer Cue Sports Ltd. Our Wonder model is a cue that is designed for players of all ages, and is gender non-specific. Our Miracle cue, on the other hand, is engineered for the more...

Actually, my game is colder than last summer's piss. An intentionally set fire, or one by spontaneous combustion, is not a threat. I did tell a fib to my girlfriend, so my pants may be in jeopardy. :eek:

RJ, you're just like your brother PJ, may he rest in piece. You think you know everything. Obviously the poor guy simply reminded the rich guy of something that was missing in his swing. Hell, even a fan of the game might have seen it, but of course didn't have access to the player. Remember...

I have yet to hear this argument put any better that what Dick has just written. :clapping:

Fran, and Spartan, are correct. We are all capable of great and wondrous things. At least we think we are. :smile:

Two things come to mind whenever I think of instructors, be it pool, institutes of higher learning, or sports. Why wasn't my college economics professor a millionaire? And, when Payne Stewart started high school Bill Stewart, his dad, went to the golf coach and told him that whatever he did, he...

I do not have the so-called 'killer instinct', and I'm not so sure I would want it. Don't get me wrong, I like to win, but winning to me is more in beating myself than anything. Defeating those things that keep me from being successful, be it a game of pool, a shooting match, or getting my...

I would want it to be just like it is now except for maybe some free cigars. :angel2:

Damn right I am. I never go to the pool hall naked. Every time I tried it I had nothing but bad luck. :eek:

I think I can help. I've been on the skids for years. Sore knees in the morning. A half bottle of Advil, or a quarter bottle of Aleve. The inability to do what needs to be done when the time cones, if you know what I mean. Five tabs of Cialis. CAUTION: If you're in the batters box for longer...
