the other day i watched the most charming 3-cushion contest from somewhere in michigan. it looked like so much fun! a dog was wandering around the room, a 4-year old boy was interviewed on the stream, waitresses were serving food, everyone seemed to be laughing a lot. but the very best part...

oh well. thanks for the suggestions everyone! as she usually does, my mom gave me the best advice: 1) e-mail the bf with the cloth update. you don't want to hide stuff from him and besides you're no good at keeping secrets. if he does get upset, he'll have time to get over it before he gets...

is there a quick way to remove a red wine blotch from a blue pool cloth? without a trace showing? (quinine and salt didn't work.) if not, how long does it take to have a new cloth installed? and ... if someone is coming back from a business trip and doesn't know about the new cloth, would he...

thank gawd! finally i can post a comment on something i know a little about! about which i know a little? i was in hollywood billiards last month with a friend of my dad's and his wife? i'm so dumb about pool that i didn't notice the cloth colors? but what i did lamp was the feng shui vibe. i...

warning: this first question is only partially pool-related. and the second may be one of the dumbest pool questions ever asked in this forum. first, my gf's and i know how some (not alll!) guys are always lamping a girl's butt when she leans over to shoot a pool shot. i asked my mom about it...

what! how dare anyone in this forum question my posts! you boyos should see the thousands of positive pm's (the apostrophe may not be appropriate, but i am not entering pms territory!) and e-mails that i receive! well, perhaps not thousands. maybe more like one? i think he said, 'sunny...

if you are into blood sports, and find yourself in kansas city, say at a party? all you need to do is casually mention that you love the burnt ends at brian's (bryant's?) barbeque house. normal looking people, with nice smiles, will go mental! eyes will bulge, collar buttons will pop...

wow! even though i don't understand about 90% of what you said, i am -- va va voom! -- amazed by your ingenuity!

from what i've read here and in some chat rooms, some of you very good players travel to different towns to compete in pool games -- as in that hustler movie with mary elizabeth mastrantonio. my kansas city gf and i decided to drive from her place to visit her cousin in little rock, about 400...

and many more! happy birthdays to big and joey! sorry to be late in sending my regards, a little vacation, but mostly a business trip to san francisco, where i (ahem) have tripled the size of my west coast office! well, three is the triple of one, is it not? hope your calendar celebrations...

belated happy happy! sorry to be tardy, have been traveling, just now coming up for air! (travel tip: if you're motoring, don't ask sunny to be the navigator! it took my gf and me two days to drive from kansas city to little rock. this included two unintended stops in oklahoma, i can't...

why am i -- a pool neophyte -- so taken with this strange, introverted sport? when puzzled by significant life questions, i often revisit that renowned philosopher, fran lebowitz for guidance and enlightenment. as always, doctor lebowitz came through with her observation that 'the outdoors is...

heard a rumor? is it true? they are turning this into a national holiday in your honor? happy happy! sunny

fyi i am no more a socialite than i am a socialist! however ... if i were both? i could be a socialistic socialite! and, mr. creedo? as i recall, i was a perfect student ... beloved by teachers, administrators and fellow captives! sunny

teacher warning my only advice on pool teachers is this: don't select one who is too sensitive about conversation. mine fired me the first day because (he claimed!) my gf and i spent too much time chatting away. his so-called proof was that a game of nine-ball shouldn't take longer than a game...

birthday boy! while i can but aspire to attain the lofty standards of discourse for which this forum is so justifiably celebrated, i can say: happy birthday, rob! sunny

dumb question what are scotch doubles? is drinking involved? do scots come into play? hopping? sunny

hmph! attention mr. jay helfert: sadly, or gladly, i have no affiliation with any of the trumps! i know that soho is a cliche, i didn't really want to buy here. but, the poor guy who lost his business in the recession told us that he would rather we buy the loft at a bargain price than lose...

$60! we had to move our table (nyc loft) because the feng shui was so terrible when we moved in. also the table was directly in my skating path when i tear around the place chased by my two dogs! $60! wowser bowser!. i could only wish! i think you negotiated a very good price, well done! sunny

lemonade i agree that this press release seems off the mark. but is it feasible that someone is 'on the lemon?' (is that how you say it?) i mean girls -- rightly or wrongly -- have been letting boys think they are smart for generations! it's culturally ingrained for us to be gracious, to...
