anybody on here remember The Drexel in Jacksonville IL??? Played there a little the summer of 67. Like to know what happened to it out of curiosity. "My" hometown pool hall smelled like old man BO and cigarette smoke, had about 5 spittoons scattered around for those that dipped or chewed...

I got a buddy who says, "just look around, you don't see any old, fat guys."

Fats said this.

I remember seeing Jimmy Moore in his final years. He could barely walk, had to hold onto the table as he moved around to shoot, but man, when he bent over and got down on his shot, he lost 50 years and you were in trouble. His body was 80, but that arm was about 19.

I started playing as a pre-teen in a small 5 table room in an IL town of 2000 people. When I grabbed a cue off the wall, the only thing I knew about a tip was to be sure it had one. 20% of these old beaters had no tip at all.

exactly how I get rid of old appliances, to the curb with a price tag, and the scrappers will take it away overnight.

I have always been a collector, rather than a trader/dealer, all my life. Pool cues, firearms...every gun I have sold, I have regretted, pool cues not so much, because I was "moving up".

said it before, but the best stroke I ever saw was Cowboy Jimmy Moore. like oiled ball bearings.

I have several cues with ivory inlays, but they are still attached to the elephant, and he is still alive. Getting him in the case can be a problem.

not long enough or straight enough to stake maters.

we got over a foot of rain in 24 hours in Winder, GA, 40 miles ENE of Atlanta, less than half mile from Apalachee High.

Albuquerque used to be pretty strong 25 years ago or so.

Pearson is a pool trick shot player, NOT the cuemaker. It's a cheap chinese pool cue, one of about 100 million on the planet. But if you like how it plays, good for you.

I'd play ya, but my minimum is 10 large. Plus you pay all my expenses. I am in Georgia.

they're lucky I remembered pants.

for all you youngsters that pee 3 times a day, you just wait, your time is coming. I go 15 to 20 times a day. any car trip of over 30 minutes, I plan my route by where I can stop along the way.

hey, when you are 77 and got a prostate like a grape fruit, I need a "potty break" between shots!!!

when I lived in Albuquerque, I took my cue into my office and put it out of sight behind the door. Never a problem.

about 25 years ago, a league teammate left his Meucci in his car during the day in Atlanta summer heat before league night and it popped all the inlays in the butt. Still playable but you could feel the damage running you hand over the cue. He was sick about it, had the cue about 4 months and...

I would have dreams about the women of pro pool, back about 30 years ago when there were some very nice "lookers".
