Be careful with that axe, Eugene... OSPN is engaged in bleeding edge technology... What in the name of the wide wide world of sports is a-goin' on here??? I guess that's just beyond "cutting edge technology"?

Brother can you spare a dime... Usually it's my money.

With Apologies to Blake Edwards and William Holden... Sinatra. Six dollars worth of Sinatra.

You shoot a good stick... I always felt that Gleason was very underrated as an actor (at least by the public) because he did a lot of screwball comedy. But to me, he was as fine an actor as there was. He often dominated the scenes he was in, even when playing a supporting role or not having a...

I probably would if I could run 8 balls without missing. :frown:

I'm Interested... I sent you a request to join the group on Facebook under the name Mark Burns. Let me know if you need a player. I would love to play.

Pardon the hint of sarcasm... A sanctioning body would be helpful in this type of situation. Does anyone know a reputable one that would handle action matches?

Yep, I'm an idiot. I did a search for "pool timer" instead of "pool clock". Strange that it doesn't show up when you put in the name: "plock". But anyway, thanks!

It seems you have failed to learn respect for a certain segment of "your fellow man".

I don't know if it's the best or worst idea ever, but I'm all for it! It's beautimous!

Are you certain of the name of that app? I couldn't find it or any other pool related timer in the Google Play Store.

Not sure if it was the best compliment I have ever had, but it's the first one that comes to mind. I ran, what was for me, a rather difficult layout of 8-ball in a tournament and afterwards my opponent says, "Nice run. That was a pleasure to watch."

I know nothing about this subject, but that's never stopped me before, so... If it's possible to have a successful pool hall without food or alcohol, there's no reason why a league cannot be successful in said pool hall. Especially, as Scott said, if the owner doesn't mind food being brought...

Light-en Up... Another Smoking Ban

Free drop?... HA! I had just remembered the same thing happening to me when I saw your post. I am in the Dallas area. I wonder if it was the same guy. This was about thirty years ago, though. Played this guy on a bar box in some hole-in-the-wall place, don't even remember where. When he...

Community Balls????... A few times in bars, I have played guys who hit the 8-ball first to combo in one of their balls. When I say, "That's a foul. You have to hit one of your balls first.", the answer is always, "The 8 is one of mine. It's a community ball, either one of us can hit it first.

In pool, there is no distinct designation between "pro" and "amateur", since amateur events pay out prize money as well. The same goes for the players. Whether one is an amateur or pro is mostly based upon reputation. Obviously, everyone considers guys like SVB and Johnny Archer to be pros...

The Art of the Deal... So if I can manipulate a deck of cards while shuffling them and my opponent can't, is it ok for me to do so? Hey, it's just my superior knowledge and skill, right? I would love to play some no limit poker with anyone who says 'yes'. Seriously though, I am not sure if...

Those who can't... You don't have to be a good player to be a good teacher, and vice-versa.

No Moore??? What? No love for "10" starring Dudley Moore? In the scene, he is spying on his neighbor on the next hill over using a telescope (I think). The neighbor is standing in a robe while a naked woman plays pool in front of him. As she bends over to take a shot, he drops his robe and...
