Me too. I just got out of jail. I decided that I wanted a Christmas goose for dinner.
It seems that the golf course had some silly rule about killing them and eating them....

this thread proves to me that:

1) you should read all threads as you never know what's gonna happen in any of them (i can't believe I just found this!)
2) any thread, at any time, can become about kevin varney
3) any thread that becomes about kevin varney will be at least 15 pages minimum
4) any thread about kevin varney always gets jimbo banned somehow

btw, who is "kristi" carter? and why hasn't she responded again?

i called it. do i win a prize or something?

Larry Bird is a helluva player, but, he couldn't jump over a French Lick Indiana phone book.

By any chance do you know how his buisiness( baked and fried chicken etc) is doing in Indiana?

 

[ironman]

can anyone remember what Col. Nathan R. Jessup is saying here??

He said that he must o drank about 15 Dr Peppers and had to go pee.

 

[ironman]

Nope, I live in Tipton, OK. I used to live in San Antonio, TX. My wife is from California, we visit often.

Why? Do I know you?

Jim

not sure, I'll pm.

 

[pharaoh68]

I did....in Jimbo's poll thread, but that has since been deleted.

IMO, banning JimBo for failing to comply is unwarranted and inappropriate. His posts in question do not seem to be over the line. Who knows what he did or said in private...that's between Dave and him. It's unfortunate, though, but the forums here at AzB seem to be losing some of their luster. Censorship is always a lose/lose....any way you cut it.

Sean-

I couldn't agree with you more. Sadly, I only joined this forray about three hours ago and then took a break from the computer for a while. Upon my return, I come to realize that JimBo, one of our most knowledgeable posters here, has been banned. This unfortauntely does not sit well with me.

Forums such as these are a plce for people to come and share their information, thoughts, ideas, and opinions with others. In any discourse between individuals, disagreement is a sheer inevitability. Yet somehow, it seems we are permitted to disagree provided we do so peacefully at all times, and let's face it: to ask that of any society is a little much.

It makes me sad when people here can share their opinions and call another individual a name, and the result is this community loses a valuable member. Meanwhile, one of the hottest topics of the moment, Mr. Kevin Varney himself, can jump on here, post lies about respected members of the pool community, and threaten physical violence to other members of AZ, all the while they are left behind to peddle their goods and services. Man, this place isn't lookin' so good these days.

JimBo - I'll keep the torch burning for ya to the best of my ability and for as long as I can.

Please do not ruin eggnog by putting Boone's Farm in it. The most popular additive is Captain Morgan's spiced rum. However, I'm not a fan of the flavored or spiced liquors.
I've just recently acquired a taste for bourbon and sipping whiskey. The best I've had so far has been Jack Daniels Single Barrel. Another excellent choice is Knob Creek.
In all honesty, I know I give the impression of a heavy drinker but I assure you it's just the opposite. I probably drink about a half pint a month.

Uh oh, lools like someone is "reporting" your post...LMAO

My wife got me a bottle of Hennessy (cognac) for Christmas. I've been reading up on the Internet on how to drink it. I like to get the full experience. I read that a popular way to drink it is mix it 50/50 with Alize Liqueur.

I also learned that "crunk juice" is 1.5 oz Hennessy mixed with 8 oz red bull energy drink.

Normally, all I drink is bourbon. JD Single Barrel is very good, Knob Creek is not bad either. You should try Woodford Reserve, it's one of my favorite bourbons. A cheaper bourbon that I think is very good is Maker's Mark.

I have a bottle of single barrel JD just waiting for New Year's Eve .

Brian, you are an example of someone whom I have come to respect despite a rocky start, so I'll ask, in all honesty, please share something within the past year that Jimbo shared with us that was so knowlegeable.

 

[Rich93]

Mr. Wilson, I respect your judgment and think you're doing a good job as moderator. It's not easy being you.

Larry Bird is a helluva player, but, he couldn't jump over a French Lick Indiana phone book.

You got action! WE can bet REAL high. I know for a fact he did in 79....of coarse it was only 3 pages thick. After he put it on the map and the subsequent growth through the 80's the "book" was 7 pages thick by 91.

He huffed and he puffed but he couldn't clear it


Purple type for JIM until he returns...

I can go all night...

No flash, you need light and lots of it, take it outside if you can on an overcast day, don't worry about getting that close, just make sure you have good focus and then crop the pic in a photo shop program. a tripod and timer or remote helps as well.

Jim

Pay attention.
It may not help the current shot, but in the long run...

Jim

If it is how you set it up it looks like a tough safe to exicute, seems like there is a chance for a scratch in the side, or a screw up and sell out, but unless the 11 was an easier shot the run wasn't a lock either. I might have moved the 11 and left him on the bottom rail, there is no cross side bank there, and cutting it up the rail is not an easy option. He'd have no safe with the ball hanging in the side.

Jim<--Would have run out

As a cuemaker what's your opinion.
If you use a recut to give the appearance of a veneer is it another point.
If the recut is much smaller and lower in the point does it matter??


Jim <---Just wonderin

These are recut points, some guys do them closer to the first point as a way to get a veneered look, some like SW are much smaller and they do call them 9 points, but to me that's a 6 point cue with 3 recuts. It really gets more confusing if you look at a Mike Bender 4,000 point cue (that's a joke you may not get). I guess it's just semantics, I also knew what you meant, just disagree with the terminology. BTW stop beating around the bush and let us know what cuemaker you are going to use for your SW knockoff.

Jim

Guys in all seriousness I'd like to say that Tim and Mike are a Class act.
Mike has been working with Tim for a very long time and is a great cuemaker in his own rite. I would not for 1 second think twice about placing an order with him if you're in the market for a new cue, the work is flawless. As for Nick, well he's shown his true worth here over and over and although I'm sure he's a nice guy he's just not that bright. I would ask that everyone who has read this far not think of Mike C or Tim when they read the ramblings of this "happy idiot" (his own words). Sure Nick probably has a few issues with the truth (who doesn't??) but there is one thing I am sure of. He isn't lying about how nice this cue is.

I fully endorse Mike Cochran and his cues, so if you like Nick then take his word for it and if you have 1/2 a brain take my word for it. The guy is for real. ALso after speaking with Mike today I can tell you that he sides with me and feels even if you can't run 13 straight racks you'll be able to tell if you like the hit of his cues.

Jim

In my old collection the Meucci Tomahawk was prolly built some time around 1986-88. The new collection (Blacks) are all dated 1993,1990,1990 I think. The first cue (purpleheart) is a one of kind Ivory joint. The second and third are takes on his catalog cues from that era, not being a Black expert I will guess Pheonix and a modified New Shanon. Again not an expert on Blacks.

Ok. Now I have to point this out. i love cues more thana lot of other members on here so I spend a lot of time in the Wanted/For Sale section as well as the Cue Gallery section - two places Jim frequented a lot. He has an extensive knowledge of cues and cuemakers and, whether you like the guy or not, you can NOT dispute that.

If you want specific references to some of his insightful posts, I can recall a time just after the ICCS show in Vegas. Tate shared with us a picture or two of some beautiful cues. I guessed as to what was what. Jim PM'd me listing each cue by its maker, right on down the line.

If you want another reference, I'll go ahead agree with EVERYTHING he stated in the Hi End Varney thread.

And again Dave, this is with all due respect here as we have grown to be friends, but isn't your statement (bold) above the same kind of derogatory tone and insulting remark that you try to keep us from using on one another???
