tat Sweet! Lenny, it's a good thing you didn't use the "Pigs on the Wing" Pink Floyd logo! 1977-Festhalle,Frankfurt,Germany! You will be awed Lenny. Set your controls for the Heart of the Sun.(A Saucerful of Secrets):thumbup:

Correct Sir for the moment perhaps! Maybe Alf Taylor's Book will surpass that mark. I hope so. In reality of audience appeal,it is Fiction that bring's the best results at the Box Office and the Book Store. You may blend elements of the two,but the fictitious side must dominate.:cool:

Jargon Yeah, I hated it when Hollywood stole behind the 8 Ball a hundred years ago. Otherwise,I never speak pool lingo in public.

Great Comeback,Billy. It was nice to see Billy hang in there and eventually claim the win. Some great strategies from both sides,and superb shots were executed. Can't wait for today's matches. Thanks Justin and TAR. Btw, that Jay guy who commentates is pretty good.:D

Kicks,Banks,etc. In the old days before jump cues and the Ball in Hand after the Break,old timers knew the way out of a safety was the kick. If you expanded that to the Kick to the Safe,you had a real weapon in your arsenal. My hidden gem is the Kick to the Bank. I save that one for the special...

how about... in 1986 I was seated in a small pool room watching a straight pool tournament. I couldn't help but notice this young 19 year old move effortlessly around a table. Intense,yet comfortable. I had not seen this type of demeanor for many years. He was at that moment,intriguing. I...

I encourage everyone to purchase the Sunday show as early as possible. Ray is doing a great job streaming all of these matches for us.

Your Invite Thank You Joey. I have started to get out and around more and more. I am looking forward to coming down to Buffalo's Billiards and partake of the hospitality. Perhaps a warm up sometime before Tunica. You are correct about Emerald Billiards,a great pool room and very nice people...

Knockers! LoL,Ray I hope you have a great time up there! I wanted to swing it this weekend,especially since you are doing cheap sets :eek:!! I will be watching on the stream and sweating the locals. I have to keep an eye on Kenny Loftis if he's playing. He knocked me out at White Diamonds and...

Handling Road Players Joey, I believe that the economy is an indicator of the gambling mindset. The local attitude in North Carolina is different today than what it was back in say the 70's and 80's when Raleigh and Greensboro held action all the time. I am also sure you remember the Sports...

Great Article What a great article! Well written and entertaining. ESPN Magazine should be applauded for including Dennis Orcullo in a prestigious issue. Perhaps when the celebrity players issue comes out,they can include Joe Rogan,Paul Sorvino, and some of the other NYC/Hollywood Celeb Pool...

Name Recognition Go to an NBA Game or a MLB Game. You could ask any 8 year old about a player,and they will know who,what team,% of FG/RBI's,etc. Most of the millions of pool players who go to bars or rooms don't care about Pro Pool People because they have no connection to them. They see pool...

Heavy Action in Meridian? That's good to hear. I have some deep roots in Meridian. May have to check in with my Aunt and Cousins to see if I can come spend a few days. Unfortunately won't be able to make this tournament. Are you planning any others in the Summer? Good Luck and I Hope To Come...

BEF Question I worked at the Billiard Congress of America back when the BEF was developed. It is an internal function of the Non Profit Trade Association. The BCA Board appoints leadership,back then I think Nancy Hart(Viking Cues) was the head of the Committee. The moneys collected are...

#%^*&! Dan,just talked to the Old Lady and she has State Taxes due in two weeks! Bad Timing for me,but whoever gets this case is getting a Great Deal. GLWS.

Centennial Thanks for posting up the Centennial O Ring Pics.

Fully Armed In the 70's usually a sweet widowmaker with one shaft in a cheap soft case. In the early 80's it was the era of the extra shaft,nice hard tube case 1x2. Late 80's the Break Cue and the Players Cue in a nice 2x4 case. 90's that damn short azz jump cue thing???? or the Break/Jump...

Interested PM sent. I would like to see a picture of the centennial with the cap off and a closeup of the o-ring please.

Always Continue Learning Since starting to play pool at a young age,I have always kept an eager mind to learning more to develop my game. One day after Jr. High Football practice,I ventured across the street to the town's recreation center. An elderly Gent,"Peg Leg" Taylor,a disabled veteran...

Good Response Tap!Tap!Tap! You have hit the bullseye,CaliRed! Anyone who has ever done work in front of a camera understands that it doesn't just flow like real life. It takes WORK! Understanding what goes on behind the camera and the development of a script is an arduous task at best,and gut...
