    No need to be posting your childhood pics. Aside from not having any common sense, we could already tell you were a crybaby too.

    Dan Dicola

    This wasn't directed at me, but in all fairness "are Dan Dicola cues good players" is a dumb question. There is no such thing as a good playing cue, as if everybody would like it. There are only cues that meet or do not meet your personal preferences. It's like asking "does asparagus taste...

    What do you think would happen if there were no handicaps, in any leagues or tournaments, and all tournaments were Open to all skill levels?

    The building was torn down a few years ago and is no longer there, but this is exactly where it was, on the north side of and up against that grassy area that has the big rocks on it...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    It sounds like you don't realize how much times have changed since then, and that it might not take any "different circumstances" at all for you to be charged with murder for the exact same thing today depending on the politics of the prosecutor, what area you live in, what color the person you...

    Tips For This Shot

    As others have said, accuracy on this shot (where the cue is elevated) is significantly harder for everybody, the same as it is on jump shots (which is shot from essentially the same stance), and the more you are elevated the harder it becomes. My first suggestion is to pay close attention to...

    Congress should pass a law

    Here is the law Congress should actually pass. Changing any numbered ball to a different color (such as changing the five from say orange to brown) should be allowed but should be very, very highly frowned upon. Moving any of the traditional, long used ball colors (such as purple) from one...

    Congress should pass a law

    If that were true, then the color purple wouldn't have been moved from the four ball to the five ball (yes, I know the history of how it was originally removed completely before it was later brought back on a different number). When the ball color changes were first started by Matchroom several...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    If anybody is having to assume whether I am right or not about there being video issues causing the nine ball to look like it was moving when it was not, then it can only be because they were too lazy to spend the one minute to advance through the frames of the video I posted in post #138...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I can't believe it either, but yet here you so confident in your delusion that there was a foul here, with literally zero evidence to support that, and even worse, in the face of tons of evidence that overwhelming supports the exact opposite, that there was no foul. No, it falsely appeared to...

    Any help identifying this cue

    Even if you are still seeing different shades of darkness or color for whatever reason, it is still your mind fooling you. They are identical. Watch the episode I posted a couple of posts up in post #67 and you can see where they also take a similar image that is on paper, and then put the...

    Any help identifying this cue

    That particular optical illusion, among other things, is covered in Season 1, Episode 1, of that "Brain Games" show I was mentioning, and they explain why your brain interprets it that way. Amazing how the two sides appear so totally different in color because of the way our brain chooses to...

    Any help identifying this cue

    Sounds kind of related to ghost limbs where people can still feel limbs that they no longer have. Both covered in the show. Yup, our brain fills in significant parts of our vision, pretty much all of the time, with stuff it is literally making up for us to "see". All covered in the show with...

    Any help identifying this cue

    For those interested in this kind of thing, there was a show from National Geographic a few years back that ran for a few years (9 seasons I think?) called "Brain Games" that went into tons and tons and tons of these kinds of tricks that your brain plays on you and exactly why it happens. How...

    Jeanette Lee coming up in the 8 o’clock hour of CBS morning show 8/27

    I got the impression that the point of the piece was to kind of talk about how the person reached the top of their game, and the obstacles they had to overcome to get there. Since the cancer didn't come until well later, I think that is why it was never mentioned, it wasn't there as an obstacle...

    Location For Appraisal Posts?

    My understanding is that this is the proper place for the "what is it worth" posts, and that they are not allowed in the wanted/for sale sub-forum.

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    No he did not, and it is pretty clear from all the videos that he did not. We never see the shaft touch the nine ball, and we have zero reason to believe it did either, especially considering all the evidence against it. If you want to keep saying it did, show me the frame where the shaft is...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    Then explain these two things that nobody else has been able to give an explanation for. We see the nine ball "move" 642 times all before, during and after the shot due to obvious video issues happening in more than 80% of the frames in the time right around the shot. Knowing that, how can you...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion, but it is also reasonable to expect that the person putting it out there should be willing to consider all the evidence regarding whatever they are giving their opinion on and to expect to be called on it if it doesn't appear that they have...

    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    How on earth could you still possibly have that belief given the evidence we have? It has been indisputably proven that video issues were falsely making the nine ball appear to be moving constantly in like 80% of the frames all around the time of that shot. Even if that is the only evidence we...
