Urban Lord of the Flies?

Can you get that result without first putting in a particular search?

No further explanation required! 'Whatever it is, I'm agin it'

Stop it, stop it, stop it!!!

My wife doesn't even bother asking what type shampoo I like any longer!

Love it!

Could be because all of these were (are) so much better than just about anything on TV currently!

I was driving on Mill Street in Reno in the mid 1980's, near the airport, when an SR71 came out of nowhere and did a touch and go on one of the main runways. I couldn't believe what I'd seen. Next day in the Reno paper, there was a short paragraph about the incident. Apparently the SR71 crew...

You are correct. I misspoke and got sloppy with my terminology. But I believe the current and modern Centennials have the 'blue circle' cue, while the older, pre-Aramith Centennials had the 'red circle'.

Brunswick Centennial balls! Does anyone recognize the alligator case carried by Fats Brown?

If I remember correctly, that change was accompanied by the change from a 'red dot' cue ball to the current 'blue dot' cue ball. Of course, I don't know how you'd ascertain whether the cue ball with your set is original to the set.

My most recent black lab, now 9 years old, became attached to youngest daughter when wife and I started traveling a lot and left them behind. When daughter moved out, I told her that I didn't mind her leaving the house, but she couldn't take my dog. Of course the dog went with her, and of course...

I agree. I love league play, but the tournaments run by my local league seem to never start on time, then run on into the late night or early morning. Not for me!

I can think of several folks right off the top of my head who would struggle mightily with that stretch. Would not want them to drive any of my vehicles through there.

There have been a lot of those in the news lately!

'wood that appears thicker than it really is' in my book is 'fake'. Look, I don't have any problem with the company or the product. If it fills a need or desire for someone, all the better. I just made the comment that it looks like an attempt at a niche that may not exist.

But that is sort of my point. If you want the beauty of wood, there are plenty of choices available. And if you want the advantages of CF, those choices abound as well. I don't see much of an advantage to covering CF with 'fake wood'. And no matter what the manufacturer claims in the promo...

I don't blame them for trying, I just think it's a pretty feeble attempt at something genuinely useful and in demand. Looking at that 'wood veneer', it reminds me of when my dad bought a tricked out Ford station wagon (1957) that had fake wood on the doors and dash. I thought it was so cool at...

But if you were 'into' CF, wouldn't you want it to look like Carbon, and not like fake wood?

I'm not clear on what the intended advantage or market for this might be. If you want a carbon butt, you can certainly have one. If you want the beauty and warmth of a wood butt, those have been around forever. I suppose there must be some folks out there who think they need a carbon butt but...
