    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    Did you read any of the stickers on there? Mostly they're nothing but places the guy traveled campgrounds the college I guess he went to you posted this picture without reading any of it.

    You really didn't understand the sticker did you.

    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    I don't think you read any of the stickers Zoom and read what the Earth First sticker really says. It is the opposite what you think.

    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    All extremists are bad. All you have to do is visit a no kill shelter. Animals that no one wants living in deplorable conditions. Like the people with a house full of cats you see on the news all the time living in filth. They are delusional thinking they are doing something Nobel. I have six...

    leather tips and PETA/vegans...?

    That's funny because you make assumptions. My wife and I have been vegetarians for over 40 years but it has nothing whatsoever to do with how we feel about the treatment of animals. I guess I would call myself an animal lover but that also has nothing to do with being a vegetarian. I've had...

    Mike Carella

    Mike was not very nice, I knew him pretty well from the Congress. He pretty much beat anyone who came there though. Players like Hubbard, Mataya he barbequed. Ronnie Allen tried giving him some weight and didn't like it. He learned a lot from Camp and Jerry Hunt. You mentioned Sizemore, he...

    Jerry's Billiards, Pasadena, CA - Another one biting the dust?

    Or maybe they are. In the past trying to rent space for a pool room I found zoning set up to make it impossible. Often parking requirements. I remember looking into a place and for a pool room they wanted 3 parking spaces per table. I would have needed 45 spaces. There was not that many in the...

    New YouTube channel with old pool

    I used to have that, I think Danny gave it to me. I don't think the money was real, it just sounded good and created interest.

    Best book for beginner

    Pat Fleming told me this and I found it to be true myself. Watching video of yourself is almost as good as a session of practice. I had a video of me running like 120. It was perfect, never out of line, a really picture perfect run. I swear to god, I could sit through that video before playing...

    Partakers of Pool ?

    I kind of remember the BCA putting out numbers of pool players. Problem was, iirr they called you a pool player if you had played once in the last year.

    A couple of original Mosconi Photos: Intresting shots

    When you blow it up the point looks like a floating point with an inlay below it. That's my reason for saying it. Plus his age in the picture. The last time I saw him he was playing with an Adam's and no longer a Balabushka.

    Red Baker I think was actually on the TV show To tell the truth.

    Pool Table Info/Identification

    Nice decorator piece for someone who just wants a table in the house. Not for even a semi serious player. It is a lot of work and often expensive moving and setting up a table. They also last a long time. I have a gold crown I bought in the 70s that is as good as it was when I bought it. Don't...

    Damn Hurricane Ian!

    Lighten up. Act of God is a term often even used by insurance companies. Don't read too much into it.

    What are the characteristics of a well ran league?

    Very simple question, what are your leagues goals? Is it to make money for yourselves? Is to build a bigger pool community? Is it to teach the game and have players who join no matter what their skill levels systematically become better players? Or does it exist for no reason at all and people...

    3 Cushion Record?

    The formats make it hard. They play short matches. For many years the high run in tournament straight pool was 153. He was -3 and ran 150 and out.

    Best book for beginner

    I'm afraid most of the books out there even the ones that are often touted are pretty much more just collectibles. They can't possibly compete with what's current and on video and youtube. "A picture is worth a thousand words" as they say.
