My sense of fair play Makes me straighten out my "Whopping Eddie Kelly with the seven" story. I was twentyish and playing OK. Eddie had just won the Vegas tournament and was hanging out in Dallas at the infamous Cotton Bowling Palace. He called a taxi and said "Come on, Alfie. I'll give you...

Player's cues or cue makers cues? I thought your post meant "Players" cues. Sure, I know of those top cue makers mentioned. I've owned a Rambo, a Harry Pedros (from Eddie Kelly after I whopped him with the seven), a Frank Paradise, That one got searched on my way home from the Dallas post...

Now we're talking... WHO COULD NOT AGREE: In Allison's first year on the womens circuit she played in 15 tournaments. Won 13, placed second in 2 and won two out of the country. Tiger Woods. Hide your head. To those of you who know her, you needn't read this, but to those of you who are less...

Jam, you are a living doll... Your posts and critique on various posts are always fair, intellegent and spot on. It's difficult to impossible to pass up a comment that comes from JAM. I adore you without knowing you. (Don't kill me Keith) As far as CJ (my very good friend) is concerned...

A plug for a kid from pasadena... Let's not forget Keith Thompson...AKA "Pasadena Squirell". Went to Johnston City to watch. Entered, beat Irving Crane using a house cue, ran 70 and out on Ronnie Allen, when he didn't even play straight pool, won the all around and hung it up to work at the...

It's no surprise to see the class Mr. Van Boening displayed turning his back on those *****s, instead of giving in to them. Little did they know they were helping to develop a superior human being by forcing him to be stronger. It is they who were actually impaired. I've never had the pleasure...

Actually, I am nobody to tell you what you must do. But, if you're on this thread you have a competive nature and, if you like the best of anything, this will thrill you. punch up wimp.com/fastestgunman/. This man is not to be believed. Keep it lightning like. Alfie P.S. My partner, Billy...

Gotta do one more, jam... What an interesting thread but what I can't understand are the negative words posted. If you don't like the game stay away from it. Pool isn't brain surgery. Nobody has to have it. The criticizms over something that's so enjoyable are like putting out then yelling...

Got it jam... After two cups of coffee and a play romp with my four little doggies Savanna Rose, Dandi Lion, Princess Gracie and Dollie Anna Delight, I came up with a word that involves everyone, from those who punch a few balls in a league play to the ultimate honor, involvement in the Mosconi...

Your daughter should hope... that her communication skills and personal grace are even close to her mom's. That young lady (and, JAM. That's what she is when she leaves for college) will sail through Georgetown like, in the words of UJ Puckett "pattin' for a dance". And I'm sure there are a...

Good day J-Flo Do you have any of my products or would you like to know what I have? The ARCHER-REYES EIGHT BALL, NINE BALL match is textbook playing by two greats in their prime. Just a thought. Keep it nice. Alfie

A little off subject, but... When I was a kid, before I got in the racket, I traveled the road with my brother Jack. In a ring nine-ball game somewhere in the Rio Grande Valley, Jack won pretty good. I saw him tip the rack boy five dollars (pretty good for the 50s) and I told him "Jack. Nobody...

It's simple... Get your game in shape and bust a few of those clowns out of their paychecks. The rest will do the plague number on you. Worked for me. Keep it real. Alfie

Thanks for the nice words, Ric, but if you really like me why did you and Billy pound on me so hard playing nine-ball...you young eyed, straight shootin' gentleman. The day you and Billy Banks spent with me playing pool was the most fun I can remember having in a long time...standing up. Please...

The happiest to you, jam In the words of Mr Stewart, you're "Ageless, timeless, lace and fineness. A beauty that's heaven sent." How does it feel to get so many loving messages? On my last birthday I waited all day for a message that didn't come, then I picked up my dog and she bit me. Ha ha...

It is with my utmost sadness to say Norma Jean Staton has left the earth. My wife, Judi, and I loved Norma so very much. In the pool world Norma lived in Bills limelight, forever the lady in his corner. Together, away from that world, they were the picture of love and caring, always in the...

Gosh it's tough To be pushing 70 and hear about these babies at 50 winning tournaments like they're not suppose to. Holy moly, Mrs. M. I heard Methuselah put together a six pack of ten-ball when he was 745 and ran a hundred and fifty at 820. Or it could be a rumor from his grandson, Noah...

The youngsters...god love 'em There are many ways of defining "favorites" in the game. Allison Fisher, my dear friend, couldn't give more reasons to be a favorite. She's mega talented and a sweetheart on or off the table. I love her. But, for favorites in the realm of talent, it's obvious some...

Wow! Talk about hungry... To take a champion of our industry, both in talent and personal class and use him for a verbal sexual romp in all directions reminds me of a movie about a man who showed a human tongue to some people. When one of them asked why someone would remove a tongue, he...
