Back in '78 or '79 while at Marine Barracks, New London, CT., a lady bet a SSGT $100 that she could piss farther. We all went outside and she pinched herself in some kinda way and sure as he!! pissed twice as far. Wonder if this was her Mother?

When my Dad was teaching me to break, he would literally hold me down. Saying, "Keep your body still". Think it has hindered my break speed, but I can be precise with where I hit the rack and english on the cue ball.

Here's my latest rottie, Bryn, a rescue. 14 months, 90 lbs and coming along nicely. Most trainable dog I've had but she's just gonna be a family dog.

Yep Chris, that's her. This was at Steve's on Bluemound, a well known pool bar in Milwaukee right near Miller Park. She was in town for a 9 Ball tourny at romine's and word was she was either recently divorced or about to be from Jimmy. Knew someone would call me on that.

I've played with a D-19 for about 20 years now. I bought a D-18 from a guy who had become disillusioned with pool and said, "I think I'm gonna sell this cue." I pulled a hundred dollar bill out of my wallet and said will this do. He said $125 and I bought it on the spot. 15 years later a guy at...

When I hear that little voice I try to remember my Father's BIG voice saying, "Don't be afraid to win!"
