So, Tim, if you are only an oyster, why do you smell like a rotting whale carcass?

At pool, $20 is the most I've won and <$10 is the most I've lost. Not much of a gambler on the table or anywhere else for that matter. At the card tables I've lost around $1000 over the course of a long weekend (including meals and lodging). Best I've done to date was playing the slots at the...

I know this is side-tracking the thread, but I was very skeptical of Grady's insinuation that someone had died from od'ing on LSD. I know back in the day (early '70s) I took way too much (50 hits one time) and never came close to dying. Well, there was that one incident with all the orange ping...

PM sent. I'll take two if you'll send your Paypal info via PM. Thanks!

I've found that playing snooker (especially the blue ball off the spot) has helped me tremendously on tough cuts to the side pocket.

My first memory was playing on a table in a carport somewhere near Eugene, Oregon at my aunt and uncle's 25th wedding anniversary. We played pea pool as I remember. I was hooked. I had a few opportunities while I still lived at home to play here and there. I remember a few hours on a really...

Got mine from Koinnkid for 168 shipped. Paid for it Thursday last week and got it yesterday. I can't compare to the Predator as I have never used one. I have been playing for almost a year with my Sharpshooter shaft which is very similar (radial laminated), exclusively. I sent it off to the cue...

Came yesterday in a round cardboard tube. It scared me at first because the tube had a big dent/fold about a foot from one end and a big black skid mark with tread like a truck ran over it or it got jammed into the rollers on the conveyor belt. Luckily, that end was filled with bubble wrap so...

Well, thanks for the input so far, but like I said, the rules specifically state that you must hit an opponent's ball first. We've always played that you could shoot at your own ball, so I was surprised when I read this in the rules. RULES OF PLAY 1. Players must decide prior to the game...

I was playing cutthroat with the grandkids the other day and had a rules question. I was playing with the grown-ups a while back and looked at the rules to get them fresh in my mind. I had remembered that the official BCA rules require that first contact must be with an opponent's ball...

Don't fall asleep at the wheel.

Wow, you are quite the mind reader, Russ. I guess it never occurred to you that I was merely pointing out a fact to someone who had made an erroneous assumption and trying to save you some time in the process (so you would have more to do your work and get some sleep so that our country will be...

Russ, Sorry!!!! (not) WTF did I do to deserve this tirade? I was merely pointing out, AGAIN, as many people on here have, that you are not in the military. If you want to jump to conclusions, it would seem that the more logical one (to anyone with half a brain) would be that everyone over...

He is not in the service for about the millionth time!

"Hope this doesn't seem too negative but I don't think you should consciously practice opposite handed." Yes, much better to do this when you are unconscious or maybe in an altered consciousness, but never when you are really conscious. I learned to play one-handed a long time ago and rarely use...

I've had my Super Pros for about a year and a half. Well over six months ago, I noticed that the 2 ball had a little chip in it. Now, several of them do. Mine have never been off the table either and have never hit anything but leather, plastic (phenolic resin), or cloth.

I couldn't believe that McDermott sells their I shafts separately and you apparently can't order one for one of their butts without getting the regular shaft also. I would think that they would knock $50 off or so if you upgrade to the I shaft, but noooooo.

Ummm, in Arizona? Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't live down there, but my advice would be to find a pool hall that has one or more snooker tables and hang out there playing snooker until you find someone who plays. Another tactic that I've used is to find a few good pool players and then...

20+ years ago I was in a crappy little tournament. It was so long ago that we were playing BIH in the kitchen. My first game (single elimination race to 1) I ran out to the 8 ball making shots that were above my skill level and ended up with this leave on the 8...

Why, yes. Yes, there are.
