    You're an expert at jumping on bandwagons. You should read the whole thread. It takes so much courage to repeat what the majority of people are saying, without even reading the thread. You're so brave to join a crowd who is already beating on someone. What a hero you are.

    CF shafts are not a person. That's the difference.

    Your pushiness is really annoying. I'm sure I'm not the first person to tell you that.

    If it isn't beautiful, why bother with it at all? Why is a spectacular waterfall in the jungle better than a toxic-waste dump that smells like aged farts? Aesthetics is important to everyone.

    I don't have internet. I send my messages via smoke signal, and someone transcribes them for me. My point is not to oppose every change, but just to think about which changes are good, and which aren't good. Would you support the use of computer-assisted, machine-operated pool cues? My point...

    Ahw man... that's rough. I'm not really very hard - I've been attacked so much that I'm developing self-defense stuff - but all I really want is for everyone to be happy. I don't even want to be tough, but people try to bully me, and if they have to bully, then I have to put a depleted uranium...

    Incidentally, I'm not going to do anything to you, and you're totally fine. I react against people getting in my face. YOU did that. You didn't have to be an a**hole towards me, but you chose to do that. Just have a modicum of respect, that's all I ask. You started this fight based on me...

    I'm not a tough guy, and I don't try to bully people. I have left the armchair. It's not about being tough - it's about drawing lines in the sand. If everyone did that, then bullies would quickly disappear from the places we want to go. I don't want to hurt anyone or bully anyone, but if I...

    He walked out with your money, even though he lost. Bullies love it when no one opposes them. Dude should have been black-balled, at the very least. If you let bullies dominate, they will dominate. F*** that. For legal reasons, I won't say much more, but I will say that I shed no tears for a...

    He's one of my favorites. The best players are usually the most humble players. Neils doesn't try to make anyone feel bad - he just shows us how to get better. Others have to talk a bunch of sh**, but Neils just puts his winnings on the wall, and performance trumps sh*t-talking.

    I don't know anything about him, other than his posts on this thread, but Pee-Wee Herman is awesome, so maybe he is Pee-Wee Herman, and maybe if you're nice to him, he'll let you ride his bike, and introduce you to Eminem. I think a guy who has the balls to show up at a Hell's Angels convention...

    It's all so dang complicated. I recently switched from an 11.8mm top-of-the-line, high tech, low deflection shaft to a 1950ish Brunswick Master Stroke. The Brunswick probably hurts my performance, and it has a huge taper roll, and the butt is ridiculously thick, but it's soooooo cool, and I love...

    Y'all are a tough crowd, but that's actually kind of a nice thing to say, so I'll give you credit for that. :) Is anyone here "quite right"? I haven't seen much evidence of that, and I know I'm not. :P

    Yeah, I call alcohol "the devil in a bottle." I've seen horrible things, up to and including death, because of alcohol. But, be honest, if you saw that bully get his brains bashed in, you'd cheer, wouldn't you? One time I was in the drunk tank, and this huge dude comes in and starts bullying...

    Reminds me of one of Earl Strickland's stories. On one occasion, he lost a bunch of money, and his bodyguard (or whatever you call it) said something like "No way am I letting that guy leave here with that much of our money." Strickland said to let the guy go, because he wanted to catch him on...

    I don't know why so many people here need to go straight to insults. He might be wrong, but why does venturing an unconventional opinion draw such nastiness? You're just going to make him hate you - what's the point of such insults, except to be a bully? Why not say "He's not understanding x...

    In terms of safety, the biggest issue I've had is keeping my temper. The odds of being randomly attacked while playing pool are quite low, but the odds of some drunk a-hole being a huge jerk are pretty high. Depending upon the temperament of your friend, the biggest issue might be dealing with...

    Julia Roberts was hot in Pretty Woman. It's not all in the face - she has great charisma - but I like her face too. If you think her face looks like a horse's face, I don't trust you around horses. Some of the elitist attitudes here remind me of that clerk who was mean to Julia Roberts in...
