Very Cool! I like the element of randomness this adds. One of the players on my APA team made a die with all the people's names on a side. Whenever we can't decide who should play next, she whips out the die and we use that to decide.

Dealey Plaza!!!

Honda's Silver Wing is their big scooter. Used to be a regular touring kind of bike, now a scooter.

I remember reading on here about taking extra time on long, straight in shots. Don't remember all the specifics from that person's original post, but it was about going through your normal PSR, getting down, and then just when you'd normally make the shot, wait and look at it from that position...

Once, in a pool story from not that long ago, I got to the location for our APA Tri Cup early, and when the place opened we got a table for some practice. We had about a half hour or so before they started calling matches, and as the rest of our team got there, we all rotated in to play a bit...

We have a few locations in our local APA that use six footers. I think they're either Valley or Great American tables. Great American lists different sizes on their web site, and they even have one they call a "Kiddie Table" that looks to be made the same way (600 lbs) but is even smaller.

Exactly. I was going to make this same reference. I know guys that play pro golf that have a couple of the exact same putter, and when they hit a little slump, they switch putters. All psychological, kind of a placebo effect kind of thing. It's real and measurable for the person experiencing...

Happy New Year to all, and I love the positivity shown here!

I've posted this picture before, and I wait for someone to mention Irving Kaye so I can post it again. This was in a little bar that we stopped at for a late lunch one day. We played a couple racks, just to say we did. I think that the color selection for the cloth, and the contrasting color...

TRUE! Something about that lower tone, droning kind of constantly monotone sound that doesn't spook wildlife. I've been out mowing with the garden tractor and had deer and coyotes seem completely oblivious. Brush hogging with the bigger tractor gets similar results, that constant rpm doesn't...

Venus also rotates clockwise, and all the other planets rotate counterclockwise. (looking top down) That means the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

No me, but it was my purchase. I got my GF an extension for her McDermott cue. It's the 11" one that comes with the replacement bumper and weight bolt. She asked for it, so it was an easy purchase.

I thought a "blue moon" was the second full moon in a month. According to Wikipedia, apparently it is, but it is also what you posted too. There is also something about it just appearing blue, due to atmospheric conditions, and not necessarily even being "full", but somehow I don't see...

No Blue Moon in 2024, won't be one in 2025 either. Last one was August 30, 2023. Next one is May 31, 2026.

You just got responses and suggestions from two of the most knowledgeable posters on this forum, and piqued the interest of a few more reading this. Take a few pics of your table and post them up!

We had a local 8-ball tournament that also included a second chance tournament for those eliminated quickly in the main event. It was an APA based tournament, and they had an individual bracket for every APA level, but on the second chance, the guy running things asked if the three 7s could...

I travelled to India for work back in 2005. Since I tried to eat like a native, I became very familiar with bathrooms over there. Travelling back to the US, there was a layover in Mumbai, and that airport had the bathrooms labelled as EWC and IWC, which I figured out must be for "English Water...

I'm going to cut-and-paste my post from last year on this same subject. I was actually telling someone about this yesterday. My first trip to Hawaii was in the early 1980s when I was in my very early 20s. My buddy and I spent the day at Pearl Harbor, and around Hickam Field, even did a ship...

Thanks for your thoughts. I've always looked on playing 9 ball as more of a race or a shootout than the kind of strategic play you get in 8 ball. But in this case, I'm going to have to rethink that, and put that much more into the defense side. I haven't played 1 pocket, but I know the safes...

I'm a 6 in 8 ball, and a 7 in 9ball. The LO had me listed as an 8 in our last 9 ball tricup, but the scorekeeper app still lists me as a 7 for 9 ball. These two smashers are a 5, and a 3. The 5 has been a 4 and is currently a 5 in 8 ball. I feel those are elevated from what his ability...
