I think you people are plant prejudiced.
Yep, I heard from a reliable source (World Champion) that Mike Eufemia did in fact accomplish a huge run on a forgiving Goldcrown there in nyc. I thought it was 611 however - maybe i heard it wrong. ...
You would not believe how pissed off the original title holder for this record was when his record got beat.

After all, his was “random and natural”. :duck:

You ain't seen nothing yet! I haven't even started on which plants make the most honest and reliable witnesses. Can a plant started with the blind eye method be as reliable a witness as a natural born plant? How about clones? Can their testimony be accepted? What if two clones of the same plant are in the room and their testimony isn't the same? Potted plants have an excellent reputation for staying put and watching the whole run but with all of the possible issues the yellow cat may be the most reliable witness. Of course, how trustworthy can one witness be? He might have been cat napping part of the time.

At snooker, a ‘potted plant’ is the definition of a combination shot successfully....
....so how can the damn thing witness anything, laying at the bottom of a pocket?
I don't think anyone tried to play snooker other than myself and my victims. The tables saw heavy golf action in the mornings.Hu
Sounds a bit like Chelsea Billiards in New York, where they played golf on a 12 x 6 snooker table, but with pool balls, making it much more moves oriented.

I enjoy snooker but it was kinda like driving one of those little funny four cylinder sporty cars back in the day. It ain't exactly AMERICAN! No need to witness anything at snooker, the game ends at 147 max although I think with penalties it is possible to score higher.
I had enough trouble getting people to play with me on a snooker table I didn't even try to bring in the full rules and game, not that I knew either myself! I was pretty good at running fifty-six and stop while sending the cue ball down to what I called the poor boy's end of the table.

Random and natural? I would have to think so. Just the other day, I just happen to be walking by 40 something toilets and thought "hmmm, I'm gonna bust the lids over my heads"..
World records are about as random as pulling teeth.

Quote jimmyg: As I stated, most records are created the way WM created his, randomly and naturally, as opposed to deliberate and multiple attempts to break and document an existing record.
Hey, I thought that we were all "family"...:wink:
Everyone is fair game and I'm glad that we're all having fun with my "random and natural" statement, but does it have to be taken out of context all the time? :angry: There was a second and qualifying half to those three words and although no one seems to get it, they explain exactly what the first three meant. I'm sorry to kill the fun, but let me try and make it a little simpler. Point blank: it was making a comparison between what JS did and how most, world class, professional, sports records, are created.
There are records and there are records. Since most serious pool players, especially pros and others in the industry, like to think of pool as a sport, let's take a look at how the "real" records of other professional sports; World Heavyweight Champion or any other professional boxing record; any NBA, MLB, NFL, ATP (professional tennis), NHL, PGA, thoroughbred horse racing (NTRA), bowling...any Olympic record...and on..and on...all of these records are created during official and sanctioned events and seasons, during competition against "equals" and under the microscope of multiple officials.
Yes, there are other "mickey mouse" records, like so-and-so shot x number of free throws in a row while alone and in his backyard, or so-and-so threw more bowling strikes in 24 hours than anyone else, probably millions of them. But, unless we want to keep pool on the same level as the clown who juggled more plates while blindfolded or Ted Bundy's three touchdown, Polk High School, record, I believe that pool needs to be held to the same or similar standards as other professional sports. Someone locked for months in their poolroom playing under less than professional rule and equipment standards, done alone and not during a sanctioned competition, and having dozens, if not hundreds, of attempts, does not constitute "World Class" standards, and I believe that if we want pool to be elevated to "world class", and I do, we, the players, supporters, and lovers, of pool need to lift our own personal standards and demand the industry lift their standards to "World Class".
John, if you're reading this thread, I mean no disrespect to your amazing achievement..good luck.
I'm really out!
Some "world records" for your enjoyment:
Etibar Elchiyev balanced 53 spoons on his body in 2013 in Tbilisi, Georgia
Owned by Dr Mark Temperato of the United States this set consists of 340 pieces.
John Evans balanced a 352 pound mini on his head for 33 seconds.

So now they are admitting that they really have no respect for records or what they stand for, comparing great game of 14.1 to a balancing of spoons act? but this makes sense, I guess it's their way of downplaying the lie they were trying to push for what ever phoney political reason. I guess he had a new cue sponsor from china, all the way from china eh - I buy American products.

Also one of the posters Logical (supporter of fake news) says below his avatar sarcasm while you wait - ah I think he is giving us a hint with that statement. With that statement he could be foreshadowing that he will spread and or support fake news while the honest reader waits for the truth. This would seem logical to me.
Do you even know the meaning of the word sarcasm? Your accusations about me are complete nonsense. Go find someone with some equity in this nonsense to argue with, I don't care that much about this issue and don't care at all about your ramblings.

I honestly can't believe your doubt. It was taped. People have watched the tape and verified it. Do you really think they are so organized that they got all those people plus everyone else who wandered in and out of the place plus the camera guy and the guys who watched the tape in on this elaborate scam yet they can't manage to get the video ready for release in less than 6 weeks.
Maybe the team that faked the moon landing took time out from their planning the 50th anniversary celebration to help pull this off?
