Not what I recall but then again, that was a long time ago! I'll differ to your memories, they seem more detailed than mine. I used to ride one of those AMF Harleys every month or two. I tuned it then had to take it for a test ride. It was almost new and I had just tuned it. In a dummy move I...

Your fault I am drug off topic! You made me remember the ladies in my mom's family. All of them could cook off of the same recipe and none taste remotely the same. All great though! I saw a cookbook by a cajun lady. Almost worthless because every recipe ended "season to taste"! I just got back...

A-M-F I don't think Brunswick ever recovered from the AMF takeover. Hu

I am a fair hand kicking and banking but never have made a system work. Watching Buddy's video on the clock system now. I couldn't help noticing that eleven o--clock went to the cushion out from the diamond and the one o-clock, maybe two o'clock system went directly to the diamond. Appears his...

I think the proof is in the pudding. Great players play. Not so great players play with numbers. I'm not directing that at people on this forum, just many years in pool halls and watching matches. Pool players rarely learn about numbers until they start wanting to market something. I pretty...

I hated six ball! Never had a good break for six balls and with only six on the table I often lost the money I had just won playing nine ball. I often played ten ball by the real rules or with the same rules as nine ball and one extra ball. I did it just to avoid playing six ball. As a general...

I might allow a rack with both using it. From what I found out about those cheap balls and the measle ball I tried for months, I don't think playing with the other person's pool balls would fly. A far bigger advantage than I once realized. Reminds me of a privileged few using a private set of...

You would have still had an advantage knowing your rack but not as much of one if you both used it. I never cared if people used their own cue ball or set of balls. Then one day I brought a cheap set of balls to a quality pool hall. I bought these balls for thirty dollars with the original...

I hope somebody does. A combination of a few things has hurt sales of old video. Less demand as people are less aware of old players, production quality, and some people won't watch black and white video even with decent production quality. I know little about video. Perhaps some of the old...

I got into strange rules on a trip through upper Arkansas and Tennessee. I thought I was getting BS'd about last pocket eight ball when I lost a game to that. I looked around and everyone was indeed playing last pocket. Other times it was obvious that they were making up rules as they went...

I thought Mike, the AZB owner, had taken over accu stats? Hu

I was working on a short track pit crew when I first saw Buddy. Bobby Allison and many of the NASCAR greats we saw race on TV raced against us. Bobby in particular always held court with a dozen or more drivers huddled like a bunch of puppies at his feet. I go in Greenway and there is a very...

Advantages for wrapless, the surface is always the same under your hand. I could argue if it is slick or grabby but there are a million and one or two wood finishes so I would think you could always get a surface to suit. Wraps do require some pretty careful selection. A well applied linen...

I enjoy that movie too. I remembered the girl as very pretty, I didn't remember she was Debra Paget of snake dance fame. Dale Robertson is always solid too so a very pleasant movie to watch every few years or so. Hu

I let a wholesale and retail distributor of recreational pharmaceuticals play on the wire, I was playing on a sales agreement myself so we both knew we wouldn't be getting paid that night. I had seen a huge stack of money on his kitchen table. After seeing stacks of a million and two million...

Most people know that Louisiana is the only state in the nation that based it's law on french law with all other states based on english law I believe. I don't know about current law but in the past gambling debts were debts of honor. The reason that mattered is not even bankruptcy removed a...

A fellow named Jesse owned a pool hall in what had went from a blue collar to a rough part of town. Jesse had been a roughneck on oilrigs before he retired. Had arms like tree trunks. He also had a chunk of tree trunk behind the bar that would have done Buford Pusser proud. About four inches...

Damned if I know. I might have fatfingered a code key. It shows a debug on the twelfth. Reminds me of spending eight hours trying to find an error in a crappy old msdos billing program. The person at the home office of the builder of the program told me, "Oh yeah, I knew that wouldn't work." He...
