Guess jeans, I remember those! Criss-cross beltloops and all.

In our APA league, one of the better players always does the second ball break, and he gets his fair share of 8OBs. While playing another guy one night, he commented about how the guy that always does it has so many 8OBs in his stats. I also watched Dr. Dave's video about then, so I started...

Not friendly to leaning over for a shot either. Here's one I posted before here, and I was told that this was probably an old Irving Kaye bar box.

Went to a gym in NJ for a few years that was owned by a bodybuilding promoter. A real iron gym, and there were some very large guys there. Actually met Ronnie Coleman a couple times there, and Greg Valentino, both nice guys. Anyway, they would frequently be doing photo shoots for a magazine...

Played in 8-ball last night against another player that is the same handicap as me. He's one of the upstanding guys in the league, and has never been anything but a straight shooter, so looking forward to a good match. Neither of us was playing our best, and we both had a couple games where a...

Backwards???

I had no idea that there were motivational quotes on tampons. I need to get out more.

This normally includes a comment about how IKEA is selling cars now.

There are a bunch of locals that I play with at various events in the area that are (were) playing in this. None are playing any longer. In past years, it has been similar outcomes. Many are people that play in a few or many of the stops on the Joss tour, and this is part of that tour. I know...

Where I grew up, our street was a one way, and you parked on the left side of the street. There were some cars on the block with these on both sides. We'd kick them walking by to hear that B-o-i-n-g-g-g-g noise.

#2 and #6 are Asian.

Just another sign of the times. I agree with much of snookered-again said, and how society in general has migrated away from actual personal interactions. Quick side story, had a good bud that was my best man, and I was his. After we were both married, we kind of drifted apart and didn't do...

So not really league play, but our local APA had an Appreciation Tournament this weekend. Nice thing that the League Operator does, and they have a little 3-person team tournament that goes along with it. The location is a Legion hall that has 8 tables, and they're all Valley or Valley clone...

What would have happened if after the foul being called on Niels, and Joshua wanting to lag anyway, if Joshua had then also moved his own ball? Double foul? Does that mean they re-lag?

Good stuff! Thanks for posting.

Anschutz was big on stippling their stocks. Look at the older silhouette and air rifle stocks. I can tell you from first hand experience that the stippling is every bit as "grippy" as cut checkering. They ran a deep border around the stippled areas and I always thought they were some of the...

Our APA plays in bars, and only a couple provide quarters, or have the table open for league. This use of another ball happens frequently when someone makes the 9 on the snap, and sometimes when only two balls have been pocketed. I find that for most newer players, and those SL4 or below, it's...

I have a break cue that has a rattle and it's from the joint area, but it sure sounds to me like it is in the shaft side. I don't really use it, have it home and we use it there sometimes, but it's definitely distracting. When disassembled, it doesn't seem to rattle, but occasionally does when...

I have friends that did their own stippling on their grip frames and grips. I have a Bisley frame for a Blackhawk that a friend stippled and reblued, along with a set of grips he did for that frame to match. I'm a big fan of either stippling or checkering on a handgun grip, especially on a...

So yesterday finished up with me winning more than I lost, so I'll have to be satisfied with that. First round for me was a bye. I signed up and paid early, so maybe those that did that got preference, but anyway, moved to round two. I started play against a younger player that had a good eye...
