Perhaps we sometimes ask or hope for too much at times? What do you want from pool? To kidnap an heiress or threaten her with a knife What do you want from pool To get cable TV and watch free streams every night There you sit a lump in your chair as your oppenent runs out from everywhere...

I think my cue (and I) would whither without 9'ers. Here's hoping your area gets a new hall Ak!

Us stuck in the mud from the usa, have a hard time understanding the inner workings of - is it termed "ex-patriots"? I may have derailed the thread, but it's awesome the international, cross culture input chooses to express!

Olivia Nwton John = The Tubes = John Coltraine. O'Rly? KK9 < should start threads before cocktail hour (but I knew I could draw your historically en-Pscyclopedia out of the woodwork, which gives me much pleasure my respected friend) XANADU DOES NOT EQUATE TO MY OP SONG! I AM INCENSED! :mad:

What's that line from Caddy Shack? Miss. Miss. Miss Newnun. Well.... We're waiting! ;) (Ted Baxter ?) Yet, ... I'm trying to draw out what pool means to the masses. Don't make me start another skewed, meaningliss poll. :grin-square: I can't stay on topic after midnght EST.

That's a genuine, respected response. Surely desertshark you've gone through different chapters in your pool playing experiences to get to where you are now. It took me a while...

We have such diversity in our pool desires to achieve and ? Do feel free to enjoy this short song and perhaps think about what you want from pool. It's a beautiful game that means different things to different people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_jD8K3p6Y :)

I did this exact same poll @ 2 years ago and it received a fair # of votes. It ended up @ 55% in favor of winner breaks. I think the better players prefer winner breaks as IMO it gives them an added advantage. I prefer watching pro's play alternate because I don't want to invest my time & $ on...

In UPA: each night it's 5 matches, each one having 10 points on the line. Last session I was thrust into being captain. I didn't know all the rules and unknowingly put up 5 players ranking 29 points total which is 1 point over the max. @ a month later we were docked a forfeit = 10 points. I...

Lee Van was exactly a diamond away on his rubs I witnessed. That's messed up...

I can't answer the OP's question but can add this. I was at the Open @ 4 years ago. Earl, whom I know to a degree, was playing Lee Van reasonably late in the tourney. I saw LV rub the rail on a couple ocassions. Earl went ballistic. Next day, a handful of us were hanging in the Red Roof...

And that's why I love you Stu. :D

I'd be curious as to how (by way of example) Rodney lined up this trip and the expectations of income vs expenses. That plane ticket can't be cheap. Did he have a stakehorse? Did he have a local steer-man? Did he have promise of $ matches? A venture like this is an entreprenurial gamble he...

I ran 137 one time in my basement. But my high run is 12 cause my buddy Bubba watched and I videoed his testament. It's my official high run. :grin-square:

I am sooo glad you wore different attire when you visited BB. :eek::p:D

Many thanks to ABR for keeping fingers on the pulse in real time! It's a crazed, intimate industry. Y'all provide an awesome conduit for those like me that follow the beat. :thumbup: KK9 <-- a SoCal native that's been gramatically demented by living in the south while learning pool vocabulary

Maybe Barry will be the "terrific landlord"? Your last paragraph beetle... I hope there is no familial discord. Brady has been playing some good pool of late. Shannon is a sharp cookie; perhaps it was time to spread her wings. Seems she sure had Barry's back for some time, albeit her retreat...

I hear from someone I trust, that Barry does own the building. I wouldn't take that to the bank though. If you've never been to The Q, it's in a strip center (not strip joint perverts ;) )

So I'm playing 8B last night and I'm down on the 8 about to pull the trigger. My opponent stands up and says "where are you playing it?". :angry: Me: "If you were paying attention you'd know that I called it in this corner. I'm a F'g 8, did you think I was going 5 rails or something?"...

One time in band camp... Was again at The Open. (This is NOT a happy ending). Our troop was at Q Masters and I ordered chicken fried steak, covered and smothered. We were in the back room doing a bit o' gambling on a tighter than tick table. I don't recall missing a shot for hours, some of the...
