You're right Tucson, that was the name. Not sure how I messed that up. :) Fun fact: for a bit in the early 80's their house pro was Danny D!

I was talking to a friend of mine the other night and he told me a classic. My friend's dad was a road player and later owned a major action pool hall in Phoenix, the Golden Cue. His name was Pete Glenn and he was as old-school as they come. So anyways my buddy's older brother starts...

It happens a lot more than you would think. Speaking of spiking women's drinks. Never run across it with pool players. I come from the bar business and actually caught two guys over the years doing that. Did not end up pretty for either of them either. Both cases the bouncers educated them...

Start checking pawnshops in the area.

This is called Business 101. As a basic introduction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply As just one example: the price of cords of firewood goes up drastically during and right before winter, and is at it's lowest in spring and early summer. What a shocker! Edit...

The frozen ball thing I totally agree on, but the three fouls...when you KNEWyou were on 3 fouls? Yes, you're a complete douchebag. That's ok though, some people are just born Massholes. :) P.s. if you had tried that 3 foul stunt on me in a league or tournament I would have messed with...

That league place with all the stuffed/mounted animals is awesome!! It's moose head really makes it, but tell me the owner has a mounted jackalope somewhere? A classic mounted mallard counts for points too :)

I don't think you can call it because of all the strong players in Asia we don't even see over here. Absolutely nothing against Shane, but every now and then I run across some matches from Asia and am astounded by someone I never even heard of. They say to be the man you have to play the...

This event looks fantastic! I'll be away from home then so have to wait for the DVD. I'm rooting for Scott. Watching him play is a treat, and after his last performance he should be motivated and if so..look out! Jam I enjoy your posts, but if you think the 1pocket hall of fame voting is...

This. It's a league game, big deal. I'd rather not be a jerk or get upset over something so meaningless. You play league to have fun, right? :)

Well there you go, the LO's would have the formula. Every time I asked about it (because transparency is a GOOD thing) I was told it was proprietary info that could not be released blahblahblah. Don't plan on receiving any reply from the national organization. I've emailed multiple people...

I've shot with a balabushka and was completely shocked at how well it shot. IT was not like messing with an antique, it played better or equal to anything I have ever played with. I've also shot with an original Gus, an old top end SW, a Palmer, and an old Gina. All of them shot top notch. A...

TAP handicaps are, like the Queen of England's bra size, Obama's college transcripts, and John McCain's historical campaign funding, a gigantic mystery. Basically, their formula has never been released. Like most leagues, if your LO is a good LO things will be fair. If your LO is a sh1tbag...

Depending on league, 25 seems to be the upper limit. While cue speed is paramount, physics cannot be denied. You might be able to accelerate a light break cue faster, but your acceleration gain between say a 17oz and a 25 oz is minuscule, but the other side of the equation, the weight/mass...

If an apa 6 is a "b player" then to make it remotely fair the pro is going to have to give up a ton of weight. The true orange crush/5-out or something. Otherwise it isn't going to be close. 3 or 4 to 1 on the money is a joke. The B player will be lucky to win one game total playing even...

Sounds like a great idea! Agreeing on the 2 buck suggestion also.

I'll catch hell for saying it, but: TCOM is a turd. The Hustler is a fantastic movie in every way, from story to acting. TCOM fails in every way. Aside from Newman the acting sucks. Cruise is horrid, mastrantonio is bad, and those are the other two thirds of the leads. And the story is a...

Willie Mosconi was at Johnson city?

Sometimes you can get some serious, serious, focus going on. Running drills while smoking? Well gee there goes 5 or 6 hours. So I've heard. I'm a middle aged tax paying law abiding schmuck now so what do I know. I do know that sometimes that focus can be too much. A "friend" of mine once...
