Contest time

I can see that jackpot is still remembering the long putt that I missed some
20 years ago

he forgets the tournament at Times square where I gave him a bye in the first 5 rounds
and he still lost.
Did I complain when I paid my half?

The other guess have been pretty cues,but my last Szamboti ever cue is still unguessed

Keep up the entries I like the designs you guys chose
 
Just to set the record straight Deanoc left after a loss put me in the losers bracket.
I won the losers bracket and beat the winner of the winners Ted Copeland Twice
to win said tournament. I hate to mention it now for I'm sure he will say he was in
and want his half plus interest.

I'm guessing it will be wrapless, with bridged points and you'll have it sold for crazy money years before you receive it
 
Okay here is my real guess. I'm going to assume it's for you and not to sell.
60" long I know this is right
four traditional ebony points with veneers
cortland green dot
nickle silver bushka style stainless,or ivory, uh, ivo, no stainless joint
either delrin or Hoppe ring bumper less, hmm, delrin.
I don't see B.S. doing anything crazy or making a cue with a wood pin, and most
cues Deanoc plays with are simple traditional types. But once a long time ago
G.S. told me he thought the best hitting cues were four points no veneer cues.
Deanoc seems to like these also (the DEANO cues). so I'm kind of torn between
veneers or not,hmm. change that to no veneers.
Everyone can stop sending entries as I'm pretty sure I nailed it.
When I'm presented with my free stuff feel free to take my picture
and use in any future promotions for one full year.

cue addicts
what is that beautiful cue?
Is that a Jachpot or libra cue

sometimes I forget that jack actually was a great cue maker

I think it is possible that I did not collect my half in the Times Square open
years ago

I will settle for a cheap cue from jackpot,libra or something new

my szamboti will not have bridged veneers,nor will it be for sale

I have had a cash offer
who do you guys think I am anyway?
I am willing to overlook this insinuation if Jake will make me another cue
with zigzag points and other outrageous stuff

Furthermore I have a home table now with healthy pockets
I am thinking of inviting you guys over for some pool

Jackpot ,Vigus,Jake and anyone else in the area with manners
my wife is easily offended when pool players come to my house and
win my money , she considers it a breach of ettiquette

She does not however mind me playing for money with huge spots

Piece of history
Jackpot was a friend of Gus and George and actually bought the
last cue each of the greats made.At least one of the last
batch Gus shipped.



Back to the contest,you guys are going to have to do better if you expect to win
this generous bonus

Hint,it will not be 6 points,it will not be plain,it will not be for sale

And the first annual " HEALTHY Size Pocket HOME TABLE Handicap Tournament "on my Kling
will be accepting applications as of now


Anyone who wants to play please contact me here
No smoking,no swearing,no games without handicaps


There will be no pool played once I get sleepy around 6PM

First Saturday in January around noon

This fun fast will be cancelled due to lack of interest if no one wants to play

Should Vigus,Hulsey ,or Potter wish to contribute cues for prizes contact me

Dean...your game sounds good. We'll be there around 5:45pm "right before your bedtime"

The bet is:

Dean posts $10k
Jake posts a lifetime supply "or atleast enough for a thousand cues" of this elusive material!

Before anyone pm's me asking about this material, the answer is HELL NO!

 
Just wanted to thank Deanoc for the invitation as I know he is a wonderful host. But
before all of you rush over to his place for a fun filled day, let me tell you about one
of my visits to Deanoc ranch. He once hand a house in Mckinney Tx on a bunch of
land with trees, animals,a babbling brook, you get the picture.He invited me out for
what I assumed would be a relaxing day of visiting and playing a little pool. Well
it didn't take long for the real reason to surface. He has this wild horse, and knowing
of my expertise in many fields wanted me to break him so the children could ride him
around without worry. This beast was a true maverick and threw everyone that tried
to ride him. But wearing street shoes with no spurs or hat I soon had him trotting
playfully around the coral. Now I realize this may sound like B.S. but Deanoc has
pictures of me astride this magnificent steed, shortly after I broke him. But I don't
think any of you that go need worry as he knows he can take advantage of my eager
to please easy going nature.

I have an idea

Here is a suggestion with some pictures. Ebony on Ebony with Veneers and inlays like the below with the ring to match. The Classic Penn Linen and a combination of diamonds, dots and dash inlays laid out like the Art Cantando below but with Abalone inlays.

I know exactly what thay gold stuff on bushkas is

I know where he got it and I am willing to bet

the ivory butt szamboti in the collection was built for jackpot

the beautiful barry szamboti pictured above was the last one I had

and I really liked it too

I would like it back .
but that is my life story


the guess for a music cue is my mottey and possibly my favorite cue of all time

I sold it and bought it back 4 times so far

wil prout got my 1967 purple and white triumph Bonneville 650cc for that cue

concerning the big mega tournament,,almost everyone on az is invited but I will need to confirm

before I make plans


There will be no bronk busting ,but Jack potter might be here
if so he will entertain us with Texas tall tales

Jake will have to arrive sooner than 545 as I might be getting drowsy earlier than I suggested

you don't need to be a cue maker to play and eat and share in the fun,i will be willing
to play anyone with money who offers me the nuts

jack is also willing to take a one barrel with most anyone

Jake is a mystery and Larry Vigus will be showing off his cues but taking no orders


Reserve your place soon or this fun fest may never occur

Remember at 6PM its my bed time and the pool is over

unless I am way ahead(I never quit winner) at least when I used to win I didn't


Again post up if you have the desire to enjoy all this

Click to expand...

You had me believing, till you said "Deanoc has pictures"!

Larry
 
lol...good one Larry

Dean...im calling your bluff. If you knew exactly what it was and where to get it then we would have seen it one of the thousands of Bushka tributes you've commisioned
 
Jake .you have changed the bet
I said I knew what it was, not where to obtain it

since it is such a debated issue,and since so many people on AZ claim that no one knows what it is

I am willing to bet $1000 I know what it is and where George got it
not where to get it

I know how Az people love to form corporations so no one has to
risk it all ,so if 1000 of you guys post $1 each ,once the dough is up
I will reveal the true source of the magic stuff

concerning this lifetime supply of Jake's,I will need to inspect the material
to be sure,you didn't get this from Billy did you?

pease send enough to do 3 cues to my place for scientific investigation

concerning the pictures,my wife June is searching now.
This Potter has quite a memory, funny he forgot my half from the Times Square Open

It must have amounted to $25,but with interest and inflation $2500

With Oak Cliff shorty as the front runner in the tournament in January
I might return to staking pool again

Anyone willing to play jackpot if invited to play short sets

Dear Jake

Please make me a fancy Bushka tribute using your gold stuff

I am willing to accept your fancy geometric magic twisting veneers
as long as it has traditional mother of pearl diamonds everywhere

never let it be said that I tried to stifle creativity or imagination


Larry,I saw your ebony cue and it is nice as well,please make me a Bushka tribute with
your great playing secret stuff,and mother of pearl diamonds and dots

Jackpot
please make me one mo of your Libra cues like the one posted above, I am
willing to pay for it this time
also if you will practice yur pool for three weeks I will stake you to play
Jake and anybody else that comes over

Jack,invite Billy and Alfie to the party,it would be just like the
Old Cotton Bowling Palace days
 
Deanoc, Alf can't make it and Billy wants appearance money. But, not to worry I am
trying to get in touch with some of the other regulars. Vernon,Charlie Boyd,George
Mcgann,Creeper,Ronnie Jerrett,Johnny Littlepage, and a few others,plus a couple
I'm not sure you know
Loyd Plamer and Ken Dagett. Those last two are just as much fun as the others but
not as mellow. Sadly I am hearing that some of them may have passed on.This
surprises me as they all took such good care of themselves. As you know these guys
were fun to be around and the life of the party. I took the liberty of of including your
address with the invitation, and told them no need to RSVP just show up. That will
just add to the fun
