    Rambow Fans

    Hundreds most certainly, perhaps thousands. But I doubt that we'll ever know anything for certain. ( Unless someone ended up with his accounting books) Brunswick didn't keep track of squat. I do speak to his grandson occasionally, so the next time I do, I'll ask if a "total" number was ever...

    Pool Brew

    If you are the type of person who enjoys a good beer with your pool, would it interest you if a brewery produced a beer specifically with you ( pool players) in mind ? If it was competitively priced and had " everything you want from a beer" , would you purchase a " pool brew" instead of the...

    Old cue..."Vintage", "original", "as new"..."pristine"...what do you think?

    IMHO In a perfect world, one of the best ways to ensure that something is authentic, is for it to remain unaltered in "original" condition. Any alteration or even a basic repair can raise questions, and therefore should be avoided when possible, if preserving authenticity is a concern you might...

    PAY OFF EVERY GAME!! (Gambling & Pool)

    I guess you're right . Who cares about being good if you can pretend, and get paid all the same. I would imagine that the common thief is thinking the same thing: I just need to eat.

    PAY OFF EVERY GAME!! (Gambling & Pool)

    There's a difference between hustling and simply playing a money match. No offense to the bullshit artists out there, but I don't see the point of trying to dupe someone into a game, or out of their money. If you have to contrive an advantage of any kind, you are doing a disservice to your own...

    It's not just a job, it's a ****ing adventure ! But seriously though , playing pool is like hamburgers on the grill and baseball in the park....it is very much a part of American culture and has been from day one. So besides all the typical reasons that people play, I also enjoy being a part...

    PAY OFF EVERY GAME!! (Gambling & Pool)

    None of that penny ante crap for me. If you wanna play, it's gonna be for Ks, and the cash will be held by a neutral party, preferably off site. And the less people that know, the better. This is Chicago not Topeka.

    If pool is indeed a joke to you, then you have made up your mind already and we have nothing much further to discuss. Unless you're a fan of history. Good day to you sir.
