Some of the best knife makers takes months to finish a knife. I was getting started with knife making when I found out that James Schmidt lived only 15 minutes from my house. My son and I visited him, and I have never felt the same about fine craftsmanship. Everything he did was by hand...

They both made some puzzling strategic errors as well. The worst one was when Thorsten had to shoot at a full rack of balls and hit them like an opening break instead of off the end rail and into the back of the stack. He opened up the balls for Darren instead of taking the obvious intentional...

You are the best! :) So, Hohmann missed twice as many balls, played half the safeties, yet won on the strength of his high runs. Neither player played an intentional foul, either. Clearly, this is not the game my father played. ;)

Thank you! Unbelievably, after watching a flawless stream for 6 hours, it chose to freeze up on me just as Daz came back to the table. Next thing I know the stream's back up and Darren is packing up his cue. Lol Congrats, Thorsten! You are one of the greatest ever, and you beat one of the...

I checked my mailbox today on my way to a 4th of July party and found Tor's new video on CB control sitting in there. Just got home, so I won't have time to start watching it until tomorrow, but I'll report my feelings about it after I've seen it all. The trailer looks great, so I'm sure I'll be...

Exactly. I think it's a good show as far as reality TV shows go (most of which make me want to vomit). My wife isn't very pool savvy, and she likes it a lot... even though she is well aware that Earl, Mika, and Tony Robles playing out of New York makes the idea of Finnegan's list of the best...

He'd get a kick out of giving out autographs, but he'll probably want yours as well. :wink: How do visitors get around down there? His text to me last night: "Public transit is nearly nonexistent". Lol He's been living in NYC too long. He gets everywhere by subway or by hoofing it. I lose 5...

Yeah, that's why these guys wanted him, even without him ever acting. I really don't know why he's never had the bug, because he always hung with artsy performing types because he's a killer musician (his current band has recorded songs for two separate movies coming out). He's been in NYC for...

My oldest boy works as a barista in a Brooklyn cafe. A few months ago, a couple guys came in and told him he was a dead ringer for Lafcidio Hearn, an obscure 19th century author they were making an indie movie about. They asked him if he ever acted, and he said no, but they took his number...

No, Steve didn't get worse, he just won less money because there's really not much to go around anymore. Listen to what what a couple of real pros - who know him well and have played him often over the years - have to say about Mr. Moore and his game after he incorporated Pro One into it...

C'mon... You're not going because Michaela won't be there. ;)

Yeah. Kinda like getting a litter box instead of letting your cat shit all over the house.

Geez, do we all have to get our lips tattooed as well?:grin: LNL seems like real good people, but the violent and senseless end to his daughter's life seemed more than he could endure at the time. Now with this new loss, his heart must be as heavy as any man can bear. I join with the rest of...

We are beaten. It is useless to resist. Either we are forced to drink the Kool-Aid as followers of the cult, or we must drink it by choice just to get away from the horror.

Lou, I think he means what the kiddies mean when they use the term "hater" on the Interwebs. You know, like when someone says something that you don't agree with and you dare to voice a contrary opinion about it? Well, the kiddies might call you a hater for that. Sloppy Pockets... not a...

I appreciate you giving your input here, but I gotta agree with Cookie Man. You have't really spent all that much on aiming systems. Some of those systems took an ungodly number of hours (years in some cases) to develop, big $$$ to produce, time to promote (heck, if you don't promote it...

Well, if you're gonna drive a decking screw with a hammer, might as well use a blacksmith's sledge like in the pic.

Oh, I think most of us can separate CJ the Internet forum presence from CJ the pool player. Heck, nobody's wiggier than Earl, and I detest his antics at times, but I'm still a fan because I always hope to catch that incredible high gear that he is capable of. Many folks may dislike your posting...

People do what they love to do whenever they have a chance to do it. Money earned isn't the only driving force in life, nor should it be.

Well, we'd all like you to win that one. That would be an amazing cap to your career, especially at your age and against a large field of young monsters and seasoned warriors. :smile:
