Fried would be a better term. Lets see. You got $350 for the team for winning when you got to Vegas and $500 for staying home when you lost. Who got the better deal ???? Yep. The folks who got beat. If you went to Vegas and lost two and out, you made less money than those who didn't make...

Could you be a bit more specific ? "League is worth" ? Lets just say that the woman who runs the APA, badly I might add, makes quite a paycheck. LO's, in a populated area, can make over $100K a year. Your $9 a week at work. Nothing more than a glorified Amway dealership. tim

Looks like pretty decent original condition, but agreed on the "mint" sign. Looks like despite no dings, it could use a refinish to be "perfect". With so many inlays, that's to be expected, especially being so old. Kinda like a cue with steel rings. They always move and break the finish...

Jeez Louise! Got to hang out with Scruggs and Tony ??? Now I bet the guy is ruined for life! In a good way. Tony and Timmy are folks that I'll remember meeting and hanging out with for the rest of my life. Sounds like it was one wingadinga! tim

Never hurts to ask a lawyer. Until the bill comes, though! BTW, if one is having partials fitted out, is it best to do the coating before or after the joint is fitted ??? thanks, tim

Mike, just to set the record straight, you don't need a trademark registration as much as you need a patent. I can do the same product with a different name and invalidate any market advantage you might build up. A patent, while more expensive and time consuming, is much more protective. Just...

Will do. I'm trying to pair down my collection, but have been waiting for good weather to ship for refinishing, prior to selling a bunch. I'll keep in touch. Still loving the BG, btw. I'm happy that you are still loving the Schon. You know I'll take care of you on something in the future...

Mark, one of these days, you'll have to tell us how you get those pics to come out so well! BTW, I have a 3x6 Whitten that we could trade, but I need to get rid of a cue or two first (by sale or sending out for refinish, etc. In other words, if something doesn't pan out and you can wait a...

A plain jane BEM BG is worth somewhere in the $1K to 1400 range. A coco or some other similar wood would be at the top of the BEM range. That said, I'd say $1500 to $2000, depending on accrutraments. Value, is always, however, in the eye (and wallet) of the beholder. Nice cue, tim

JMO, but if I had a $1K to play with, I'd seek out a Blue Grass cue. For the money, I've never hit with anything better. Old Micarta ferrules and perfect construction. tim

thanks Mike. Looks really great. Just what I was looking for. Tough getting old. All I could think of was doodlywap. I'll do a paypal this afternoon. Thanks, tim

Hi Mike. Just one question (or two) about 7193. Looks like there is a small bag attached for chaulk and the like inside. True ? Also, does the doodlywap that holds the cues attach to the bag for the 7193 ? thanks, tim

Jerry, private meet and greets at US tourneys I'm sure would be appreciated. I wouldn't kill any of them to stop what they are doing for an hour or so and have a beer or soda with AZ sponsors. Of course, I'm speaking of the non-business entities, like most of us folk that post here. If we...

I have no problem contributing to such a fund, but I'm not a communist either! What would we be getting back for our money ??? On line lessons ?? Private get togethers at certain tourneys ? Glow in the dark rings ? Okay, just kidding about the rings.... tim

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Shakes. The Northeast accent does help more than a bit in the translation faux pax, which is what I was trying to point out. Its less of a problem in other areas of the country as O's and R's are better prounounced. As for the Pokey Monster, you...

As soon as someone who is interested in pool scrubs two nickels together. Which ain't happening anytime soon. Much better idea would be to make up a weekly show playing something folks can understand.....8 ball. Two challengers go at it in a short race. Winner goes at the champion for the...

As we say up here on sports radio......"You're makin my point!"

No one said your weren't well educated or well read. I can assure you my post wasn't directed at you personally and was said in jest. If you took it any other way, I'm sorry you did. If you are still looking for a reason to tell someone to stick it, maybe you and Tony Stewart should have lunch...

Bennie If you are playing near Sossei, you need this story from Jimmy Reid. Grady tells the story (probably better than me...), but here goes. At the beginning of a relationship, Jimmy would put a orange on the drawer in the bedroom and the day she could tell the difference between that and a...

Spartanburg, SC isn't on the East Coast. Normally, "the East Coast" is used to refer to the coastal regions of the US above the Mason-Dixon line, and even then, mostly attributable to New England. Hard to call yourself from the Coast when you have mountains in your backyard. Just for the...
