What happened to the good ole days. When I started playing it cost a nickel a cue and they racked the balls. My buds and I played rotation because it lasted longer. The owners looked the other on the eighteen and under law which was seldom enforced. I used to play golf on the snooker table...

Shawn Putnam hits em pretty hard.

I use an exacto knife with the larger blade, and use the smaller blade to score the back of the tip. Gotta be careful though! I only put tips on my own cues.

I have some tapes of legends playing from the 1980's when tuxe's were still de rigueur. When "Wimpy" tugs at his collar before each shot I can almost feel the pain. He could still shoot the lights out in formal attire!

You old guys need to get back in your lime green shirts and pants with the white belt and shoes. Wait a minute, am I really 66 years old???? I've got to quit calling old guys "pops" when I get road rage!

They don't have a tournament every day at the local poolhall, but there is always somebody willing to rob me!

I quit smoking over 30 years ago. I struggled with it and relapsed a couple of times, but eventually I was able to make it stick. I feel like I'm reaping the benefits of that decision now. Stay the course, you can do it! Pool is a great way to keep your hands busy. Much tougher if you're...

I'm going to jump into an Indiana Jones'ed thread to say that I am a true crime buff with one mell of a collection. Oh yea, I just got some rep today, and I appreciate it although I didn't offer anything outstanding, but hopefully it gave a few folks a chuckle.

I got an old eighties McD which hits great with the original shaft, but I'd like to try a G-Force shaft. I see them advertised on E-bay for less than MSRP, and I'm wondering if these are the kind that won't be concentric with my butt, or can I order one and feel safe in getting what I want...

When the wing ball on the side I'm breaking from goes in, and the one and cue behave I'm happy as a clam; anything else is gravy. I find this happens most often when the rack is hit with a little low just off of solid to the side your'e breaking from. If the cue flies up I know I'm out of...

Should be music to your ears. On the rare occasions when I've played good enough to make someone say they played bad, I try to be agreeable and say "yeah and you got some bad rolls", or "well I got some good rolls".

If the first guy is a Purdue alumnus, and his first name is Nick you might want to decline the game. Rusty is a setup for improvement on the fly if needed.

Back in the day; if u wanted to learn how to shoot pool all u had to do was listen to the guys who became a font of knowledge when a woman was playing.

Give 'em some weight by playing with the screw-on tip.

Has anyone ever played the character who wears the Harris tweed jacket, smokes a pipe, and thinks he's thinking?

I have a 1975 Honda CB-550. It has the old school passenger back rest (un-pcly referred to as a "sissy bar" back in the day). You can strap almost anything to that puppy.

Sometimes the backer can play better than the horse, which can lead to some profitable situations.

Social Security, but you don't need to win money if you get a check sent to you every month.

I've always thought that playing safe meant not doing anything to make your opponent want to kick your azz! Your move, while legal prolly cost you at least a fifth of Jack!

Road man can play local fav, lose for awhile, work up side action, take money back from local fav while fleecing railbirds. This can also be done in collusion. Caveat emptor when you bet on a game someone else is playing.
