    Fast Larry is back

    I don't think anyone could find the sketch of Williebetmore's game face offensive, considering the source. Of course Fast Larry is just a rank amateur in terms of offensive behavior compared to the great WBM.

    Enjoy this baby!

    I'm not sure how well you know the legendary Williebetmore but just for the record, Williebetmore passing judgment on someone's playing ability makes about as much sense as a senate ethics committee.

    With all the news about pool halls closing I tought I would give a bit of good news. The Anchorage Billiard Palace will reopen in a few months.

    Thoughts On Grady mathews

    Grady was very gracious indeed to volunteer to ref our match. Willie was really on his best behavior when Grady was watching over things. I must say that Grady also was confident in his control of the situation that he declined my offer of providing a SWAT team on standby. Of course when Grady...

    Williebetmore’s instructional book pending.

    I heard through the grapevine Williebetmore was writing an instructional book primarily focused on the shadier side of the game. I contacted his publisher to find out when I could get a copy and they provided me a sample of what we can expect. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the book...

    I hit with a Balabushka yesterday!

    When Mark Griffin lived in Anchorage he had a HUGE cue collection which included something like a 8 or 10 Balabushkas. He had the best 30 or so cues readily assessable in his pool room (in his house) and encouraged people that he invited over to hit with all of them. …very cool.

    Vegas Observations from a First-Timer

    Often they are the nicest people you will meet in Vegas. Once I was there for hours walking up and down the strip and not one single gal paid me any attention. I was starting to get a bit miffed when a 40ish gal that her odometer had flipped over a few times walked up and made an offer. I said...

    Metro Sports Bar in Phoenix Phoenix made the 10 o'clock News

    I used to go to Phoenix once or twice a year. I always stayed right across the street from the Metro Sports Bar. It was perfect for me. Cold beer and good food. They have about a dozen gold crowns and maybe a few more bar boxes. I never saw any serious action (that I was aware of) but lots of...

    Is it Wrong to 3 Foul?

    He certainly did exhibit a tremendous love of the game to agree to play with that knuckle dragger for a partner he got stuck with.

    Grady in Betmore's Basement

    Here is the American Diabetes Association position on alcohol. With a few exceptions it is the same as for the general public. http://www.diabetes.org/type-1-diabetes/alcohol.jsp They do not mention inhaling so maybe I’ll volunteer for a study. :D

    Tales of horror: When some MORON grabs your cue.

    I was playing in a bar once and had a sneaky pete with a brand new tip nicely shaped. I had it leaning against the wall. I was talking to a friend a few feet away. Some guy walks up and picks up my cue, before I have a chance to say anything he looks at the tip puts mine back and grabs a ratty...
