    Mark Wilson & Don Wardell, M.D.

    Dude or Dudette....you know what the beauty of living in America is? You have a choice if you want to buy it or not (except for your health care but that is another story). If you feel it is too expensive, you don't need to buy it. That is called free enterprise. I don't know why you would want...

    Pat Fleming's 55-inch longtime playing cue

    Had that same "it's stealin' " conversation with Pat as well years ago when I had All About Pool. I had Samsara make a 55 or 56" cue for me. It was great for playing straight pool because it seemed like you could get more action through the stack with less effort. I found it very accurate as...

    US Open- What is it with Players doing work of staff, referees?

    spartan (strange name for someone that is whining about manual labor) you are talking about pool players. What makes them so special? Half of them would steal the gold out of your teeth if you collapsed. And, they would figure out a way to blame you for what they did.

    Live coverage Turning Stone-- where??

    Actually Mike Dechaine just knocked out Steve Goulding who is the owner of Snookers and I believe Mike's sponsor. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! Bob

    Lee Peppers Hoppe 4

    I called him late spring and got a price and everything. I even went so far as getting a shipping tube. Somehow I got distracted and never sent it. Thank goodness. Bob

    Live coverage Turning Stone-- where??

    JAM- it was I believe the second event. If it wasn't it was the third.It wasn't the winter edition either. Bob

    Live coverage Turning Stone-- where??

    Thanks guys. My mistake. I thought first one was at 10. I loved this tournament. I played in the first couple. One of my little life disappointments is what happened when I was playing Luke Salvas. Now it's not every day I get to play a pro or a venue like the tournament floor. Anyway, Diana...

    Live coverage Turning Stone-- where??

    OK- I'm an old guy and we are mostly electronically challenged....so I click the link on the link that says Turning Stoine Live...I get a web site that shows all the tables and live scores, but I keep getting some old Rodney Morris match. I don't get it. Any ideas? Bob

    Lee Peppers Hoppe 4

    Just about last call before I pack it up and send it off to get repaired. People keep asking for a "better picture of the crack". I really can't get it with my camera. It is an ebony butt so the crack doesn't show up very well. Kind of pointless to see the crack anyway. I am sure the butt will...

    State Associations of Pool Players

    Yes. More people controlling an individuals life. And another class of "elites" to tell you what you can and cannot do. What tournaments you can play in. Etc, etc. That's just what we need. (hasn't this already been tried in various forms?) Bob

    New room open

    Awesome looking room! Wish it was near me. Looks very well done with attention to detail. Might take a trip to Chicago when my daughter is in the Marathon. If I do I will defiantly stop in and check it out. Bob

    New room open

    LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking....everything else seems much more important than the pool. Bet there will be loud music, waitresses that try to get a drink order as you are down ready to pull the trigger on a long cut shot when you have a run of 99 going. When was the last time you...

    Lee Peppers Hoppe 4

    Ok- I lowered the price to $350. I thought some of you guys that can do this type of repair would pick it up and turn around and sell it. Anyway, this really is a nice cue and my first bump. Bob

    Lee Peppers Hoppe 4

    In a moment of stupidity I banged the butt of this cue on a tiled concrete floor and cracked the butt. I was going to send this to Lee Peppers to repair back in the beginning of the summer but got distracted and never did. From some of the postings I'm glad I didn't. I knew this cue would be out...

    Raking the balls - unsportsmanlike or not??

    I got the part about why he got the unsportsmanlike, but I was interested in Randy's thoughts as why this was a rule. What is the logic. I see both sides of it....raking balls is a shark move intending to make the "winner" feel insecure that the "loser" has no respect for his game. On the other...

    Raking the balls - unsportsmanlike or not??

    Hi Randy- haven't gone through the whole thread so you might have answered this already. But, WHY is it unsportsmanlike like conduct? I'm not getting that part. What is evil about someone conceding a game? In match play golfers concede putts, even in tournaments. Bob

    For The Love Of All Things Holy; STOP With The "FEELERS" !!!

    Joe I never had any problem with you. I never felt you were a scumbag because you always gave a price ;). I have no problem with negotiations. But in order to have negotiations each party has to bracket themselves. Why oh why is it so hard to say how much you want! And by the way, if you looked...

    For The Love Of All Things Holy; STOP With The "FEELERS" !!!

    Got lots of grief in this thread for asking "how much" from two people that weren't even involved in the sale. Just absolutely do not understand why someone will not post a price. To me if someone is not willing to name their price (I'm not just talking cue guys.....this applies to everything in...
