My PM box is now cleared up -- sorry if any of the PM's bounced. -- peer

Seriously, no matter if it's a scam artist (type Kevin Trudeau) or a self proclaimed "New Sheriff in Town" -- when someone claims being "very serious" about creating "pro-events" for pool but yet can't even proofread his own proposal, I have my doubts that this person is good for our sport, (and...

If you read my piece about this cue you'll understand that I wasn't too happy with the original shaft, to say the least. -- peer

Okay, this is my last attempt to sell this cue before it'll go as a b-day/x-mas present to my best buddy Roy, (just as Jesus, born on Christmas, he certainly deserves it even if he doesn't play much pool... although a Gibson guitar might suit him better). Hence, give me a reasonable offer for...

I sure hope so, especially since it's my Parris cue that I lent him. -- peer

I'm currently waiting for one by Ryan Theewen (RAT Cues). Since he did such a splendid job on my first Brunswick (and other cues too), I didn't hesitate letting him convert my 120 year old BBC. -- peer Edit to clarify -- this is my old Brunswick before Ryan's conversion:

The only time I've dealt with Billiard Warehouse was once when I bought a $1400 Longoni for just $700. Well, I never got the cue -- Greg Savoie emailed me telling they were out of stock. Go figure. -- peer

Yep, you are right. Here's some info about John Parris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Parris By the way, I got two Parris cues myself: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~peer/pool-cues.html -- peer

Perhaps I should've added: only chose "watch in high quality" if you have a fast connection, (otherwise it will look jerky). -- peer

This is yet another silly video that I shot with my dinky camera: Mike Massey running racks on us at Shoreline Billiards last Tuesday. Mike being cool & friendly as always: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wnEBpVr9Uw (remember to click on the "watch in high quality" button) -- peer

It's funny, although I've never met Roy in person, both he and I happen to come from the very same rustic island community far out in a fjord-arm of Norway's west coast -- in fact, I thought I came from the coolest place on earth until I discovered that the island where Roy's from is even...

Me..?! Crazy..?! Who would ever think that?! Oh no, I'm gonna keep that cue under lock & key deep in my safe, only to take it out once every blue moon to look at. -- peer (Note to Ryan Theewen: Buddy boy, don't you dare tell them ;^)

I have an old Brunswick cue with a cork wrap (see below). Although the cork is quite well preserved for being a 110+ year old cue, it's very fragile -- just a poke with my nail will take a piece out of it. It's also very dry, too dry for my taste. So I wonder how to treat it -- to make it...

Jeg tror hun ikke leser engelsk... ;^) -- peer

With the OB1 shaft, I can let it go for $600 (plus shipping). Remember that this isn't the run-of-the-mill Josey, but a weight-cored cue that Keith used as a show-piece at the 2005 Valley Forge convention. It's stunning, (but too thick for my taste -- I never got used to it). -- peer

Perhaps it's also an insult to Bowie, but who cares?! Yes, a sibling resemblance -- or as I stated; "Allison Fisher and David Bowie... separated at birth?!" Isn't literacy a bliss...? -- peer

Allison Fisher and David Bowie... separated at birth..?! A while back, I posted this: Perhaps this is old news... but the other night when watching Allison Fisher on ESPN-Classic, I couldn't help noticing a resemblance to a fellow Limey, David Bowie. -- peer

Actually, I wanna get rid of all those cases. The one furthest to the right is a 3x5 case. -- peer

I already got a 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 3x5, 4x6, etc. What I need is one that holds 6 butts. By the way, here a pic of some of my cases:

I'm looking for a cue case (soft or hard) that holds 5 butts and at least 7 shafts. Any pointers appreciated. -- peer
