Ultimate 10-ball... I had the pleasure of watching Roger play at the tournament this weekend. Great stroke.

You are not alone... I get it too. Seems everyone wants in on the party. Either that, or the Tournament Director just absconded with the funds. ;)

Hear, here! (sic)... I am hoping it stays around for years and it stays in Dallas! So I can be a perennial spectator.

No cure for "the clap"??? It's not that the crowd claps on every shot that bothers me. It's that they clap THE SAME for every shot. The applause level and enthusiasm never seems to vary whether it is a two-rail kick shot or a tap-in of a hanger. I mean, come on. Even a casual fan can at...

Spotting balls... My only problem with it is spotting slopped in balls. How are you going to do that on a barbox (that is, one that requires quarters)? I guess the "extra" 5 balls could be used for that, but then you'd have to remember, if shooting in rotation, which ball the added one...

Any Pool Halls in the Vicinity? Anyone know if there are any pool halls in the vicinity of this venue (Hwy121 & Preston Rd.)? Watching great players always puts me in the mood to shoot some.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday... This type of news is quickly becoming "dog bites man."

Great News! I was afraid that Skillman was closed for good. I just moved back into the area and was looking forward to having a room close by. I used to visit the Skillman location frequently when I wore a younger man's clothes.

Click of Time... Click's at Skillman is definitely gone, as is the Kingsley/LBJ location. This really sucks for me, because I just moved back in that area from Mckinney, another desert of pool halls, and I was looking forward to having a couple of rooms close to me. It's possible Skillman may...

Chiastic Curmudgeon Dept... Reminds me of an H. L. Mencken quote: "The gambling known as business looks with disfavor upon the business known as gambling."

I have no answers, but I have a question... Where did you find a 6x12 snooker table in Texas? Hopefully in or near the Dallas area?

And the winner is.... I say we call it the Mel Gibson Award. (though he has managed to avoid offending Jews....so far)

Has anyone heard word of the cause of death?

Double the pleasure, double the fun... Why can't we do both?

Howdy, Neighbor!... I live in Mckinney as well. Although I never get out to shoot anymore. I work nights and a lot of weekends. However, on the rare occasions that I do get out, I generally go to the Billiard Den. This is the best room in the area, IMHO. Let me qualify that by saying that...

Jane, you ignorant slut.... I'm not trying to make fun of Mr. McCue, or refute his claims. It's just that some of his arguments remind me of the movie "Airplane". There was a scene where they were showing media coverage of the impending air disaster. One bit was a TV show, called...

I am good with a push-out after a missed called shot and a pass-back option after a push-out or safety. I think it would eliminate some of the safety battles, which I tend to enjoy, but many people feel slow down the pace of the game too much and turn off potential viewers/fans. As far as all...

Nice idea... Since this is a corporate event, I'm not sure how they will feel about the gambling aspect. But hey, I can at least ask.

Thanks Mike. Rich did help me out. Sounds like an interesting format.
