Your security guard looks contented. Happy holidays!

Honeymoon before the Wedding If you can't find a store where they will let you try out the break cues, the vendors at a place like Derby City will certainly provide such opportunities. Cue satisfaction appears to be quite subjective.

Fight odds The traditions of French kickboxing & German & Irish fist fighting provide Europe with a substantive martial arts grounding.

And where else can you play until 4am? It is an amazing place!

Civility is not a core value in our culture Unfortunately, your emphasis on civility is not representative of our dominant culture. If an extraterrestial being toured our country it might conclude; 1. Fist fights are the essence of hockey. 2. Parents prefer drug abusing, illiterate felons...

sex appeal Why do they only show women playing 9-ball on TV? I think the issue is sexism. Most of the women wear tight black outfits like Jeanette Lee. I have even seen Jeanette play in heels.The producers obviously believe that sex rather than the beauty of the game sells. I will acknowledge...

cost efficiency Unfinished antiques provide the greatest quality for the money. Many people discard high quality antique tables & trade them in for something "new" to match a remodeled room or house. These are the people who reject Oriental rugs that do not match their color scheme.
