    ?? Dean Martin's ginacue ??

    I miss spoke. I think the Peter Lawford cue was from Mel Torme. It had martini glasses between the wrap and the butt. My buddy bought that cue for no more than 1,400 dollars from folks that walked into Hollywood Billiards looking to sell a cue.

    ?? Dean Martin's ginacue ??

    The Peter Lawford cue was purchased by a friend of mine at Hollywood Billiards. Someone came in and asked the houseman whether anybody purchased cues. My buddy was there and was a friend of Ernie. He bought the cue and had Ernie refinish it. It was from Lawford's old lady and had two crossed...

    The Hustler / What age? Influence?

    In the novel by Walter Tevis, all the melodrama revolving around the protagonist's love life was absent. It was all inserted by the screenwriters to add " drama ".

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Mike Page maintains that American players come from a wide range of support mechanisms. I've seen talented players sleeping in their cars or packing Motel rooms like sardines. We must be inhabiting parallel universes. I've seen players work day jobs just to pay $15.00 and hour to practice...

    Have you ever read a book on Chinese history or are you just firing from the hip?

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    For practical purposes China is a one party state. Certain places like Hong Kong and Macau are allowed token political plurality. You said I have no idea at all about Ms. Chen and then you confirm that she was subsidized. What would " local " government in Los Angeles do for a pool player...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Looks like she took a big risk. Donny is a working schlep and his Fargo is under hers. When women can play at parity with men then they will, until that time they won't. There is a lot of gender hysteria these days with biological boys running in girl's track events and taking down the...

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Quit the hysterics. You are engaging in gender propaganda. Siming like I've said is no regular female player like those found in America. The Chinese government subsidizes its athletes. I bet American female pool players would play a lot better if they never needed to work.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    GC, you are a politically correct heretic and don't expect to work in media anytime soon. Even if you are occupying the very margins of media you can't tell the truth. Violations of PC culture, equals end to career.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    American pool is obscure in China? I think not. My understanding is that pool was very popular and on an upswing and then lately its been tapering off. Asia is where the future of pool lies. It certainly is not the US where we are losing pool halls right and left.

    Siming Chen vs Donny Mills

    Please define the truth for me. If women wanted to compete with the men they would all be making a bee line for Derby City where they are very welcome. This is not for the most part the case.
