Where do you live? That view looks divine.

Later renamed !Smorgassbored so he always appeared at the top of the rep rankings (back when that was a thing / a way to send messages).

So young. Truly shocking and devastating. RIP Chang! My condolences to friends and family.

Anthony Beeler shoots pretty sporty.

Those two would parabola off in a game of 14.1. They've transcended simple shapes like squares.

I understand they told you three weeks. Even if its a spiffed "off the shelf" cue - three weeks is super fast in any cuemaker's universe for any kind of made to order cue that I'd just assume he meant like three months or something and three weeks would come and go. I guess Schmelke can turn...

Or the Mike Sigel vulgate, "Efrum."

W I’ve run over 10,000 balls playing 14.1! (Those 4s and 5s start to add up)

It's like $77 per minute now. You'd need to be Fargo 1000+ and knock off a few snooker majors.

One of my favorite posts on here, I think it was Mike Page, is that the number of people who supposedly ran 100 "back in the day" is directly proportional to the number of people who hustled their way through college.

Pool also has two Icemans. Mika most famously nowadays, but Larry Hubbard had it first. But my all time favorite nickname is for Ervolino - The Velvet Foghorn. There's only one of those.

Ahhh man. I’ve got some vintage collectibles in my homeroom from Dick. Was a great guy. RIP. My condolences to his family and friends.

Horrible to hear this. RIP to the legend!

But also, toddlers are way worse behaved than infants.

Johnny Ervolino had the best pinky out stroke. Like he was holding a martini glass.

Not that I can really explain it, but as others note and from experience there's a wider range of angles where you can follow the ball into the pocket on a shot like this than you'd expect. "No way I can follow it in on this one!" Followed by a scratch, or the CB getting hung up in the jaws.

You got it - will do before the weekend.

howdy @bbb - package is out and on its way to you as a heads up! Edit: will provide tracking shortly - also tagging @slide13

From the small amount of very old Accu Stats tapes I've seen that basically only has Pat interject every few minutes to update the score, I'd only add the score on the screen as you suggest. Just the sounds of pool balls and the occasional lighter sparking up a cigarette is perfect for me. I...

I can't remember where I read it, maybe it was a Phil Cappelle book or a Bob Jewett post. But someone once described pool as a "game of minimizing errors" and this post reminds of that.
