Well, of course he had a ghost writer...

No, I'm pretty sure it was written by G. W. Bush last year and I think he meant it...

I have a 9' pool table and a 10' snooker table in a 24' x 24' room. They are about 2" too close to the walls on one side of each table and 3-4" too close to each other, but it's definitely worth it. I don't like playing on bar tables, either, but have a strategy for dealing with it. First...

We use a normal fan for drowning out noises. We used to live next to a busy road and got used to sleeping with the fan on. There are many types of sound deadeners available commercially for the ceiling in your basement. Egg cartons would work well, too. Basically anything that traps air...

The 4 or 5 times I've changed cues, it only took a few days to get back to my previous speed at worst. Usually it only takes a few racks unless there is a big change in deflection.

I have an addictive streak for activities in me as well. In the past, I've played softball, handball, many different card games (love Pinochle & Canasta), chess, dominoes, ping pong, indoor shuffleboard, darts, disc golf, and horseshoes. I also spent several years riding a bicycle both as a...

If you live in Covelo, half an hour is still only close to Covelo, isn't it?

There are still plenty of people that break with their playing cue. Steel is pretty hard to break compared to ivory. Most of the damage I've seen from breaking occurs at the ferrule and the tip. Cracking the ferrule and mushrooming the tip seem to be the most common.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

If the ball did not fall in the pocket as a result of being struck by another ball and it has been hanging for more than 5 seconds, THE RULES CLEARLY STATE THAT THE OBJECT BALL SHOULD BE PLACED BACK IN ITS PREVIOUS LOCATION OUTSIDE THE POCKET HANGING ON THE EDGE OF THE POCKET JUST LIKE IT WAS...

I have a couple and one that's not on your list. Some time around the middle of last summer, I changed my grip in an attempt to make it looser. I now hold it with the last section of my thumb, forefinger and middle finger; curling my last two finger above the butt. After a couple of months of...

The rules say that if the ball is in place for more than 5 seconds, then falls of its own accord (earthquake, act of God, hurricane, etc.), it gets respotted.

Down in the depths of the Deep South, Cotton is a common nickname. You got white hair, you named Cotton. (Just a guess off the top of my head, no pun intended.)

There, fixed it for you, Jay. :)

Well, when I saw this picture, I saw that Phyllis has pretty broad shoulders, a well developed adam's apple, and a masculine cut to her jawline. Then I saw her last name, Mangina. Now, I didn't LOL, but I did chuckle inwardly for a few seconds. Hope that helps.

I've got a new granddaughter to go see for the first time (avatar's sister), so I'm leaving work early today to go visit my son's family in the sunny state of California for the weekend. It's going to be a grand day (much better than Jesus' has been reported to be). I bought a vaporizer last...

Exactly. A new world record. My feeling on the matter is that a specific time should be allotted (like a year or two, maybe) and whoever makes the highest run over 526 during that time gets the cheese.

Yours tells me you like to look at yourself in the mirror while doing your asanas and that you've most likely misspelled Sanskrit some time in the not too distant past... Mine says, "Damn, I'm going to be hot when I grow up!" (You know, global warming and all...)

It may just be me, but the verbiage says 2.5 balls off the rail and the diagram shows 1.5 balls off the rail. :confused:

The butt jump deserves much more than 23 seconds. IMHO.
