Why do posters have to sign off on their post by naming or posting pictures of every cue they own, the case they use, the chalk they use and/or some quote that they’ve found on Bartlett’s Familiar quotations. I’m not impressed with your que collection or your attempt at wit or attempt to appear intellectual. Cue stick reviews I understand. The rest is just excess.

Go to a golf or tennis blog. No one signs off with a list of their clubs or tennis racket make and model or the ball they use or some quote from Einstein.

time to have a poll-------- and the decision could be made final with severe penalties for violations.
 
House cue and house chalk?

Thanks for sharing.

I'm proud of my cue collection.
After year I've had, the 24/7 contact with my buyers, sellers, flippers, collectors, helps to take my mind off of a rather tragic situation.
Is it bragging?
Hell yes it is, but I have many rare and sought after cues, many that sell in less than 10-minutes from the time I upload the pictures.

Nobody cares about my golf clubs or tennis racquet, but walk into a pool hall with a 4x8 Jack Justis case and see how many people want to know what you're packing.
This summer I showed a golfer I know my original actually collectible ping putters and he could not have cared any less.
Guitars generate similar attention as cues, but go to the skeet range with a $7000 Benelli 12 gauge over/under and nobody cares.

If you grew up in the pool hall like I did in the sixties, never being able to afford an expensive cue, you might understand why I have the addiction.
I remember at sixteen being in awe of the guy with the 60" custom Palmer, everybody talked about it.

100% of my living income from June 2012 until June 2017 was generated from my cue collection.
My cue collection allowed me to retire at 60, and make it 5-years until I took my social security, without touching one penny of retirement savings, leaving everything in tact for my daughter.
My daughter doesn't want anything to do with pool cues and my son passed away this year.
So much for the family heirloom stuff

Wow get the stick out of your backside.
How about because it's fun and sometime interesting to get a feel for what might be popular these days. There is a whole segment on YouTube with Sammy called "What's in the Case?"

Did you hear the one about the smart Tennis player?

Neither did I, smart people play Pool.

Yeah right. Tennis helped pay my way through college. Pool can only do that for the most fortunate of hustlers.
Also, one of the most read books by pool players is a book written by a tennis player.
BTW, who do you think has more money, Agassi or Strickland? I'll give you a minute to work out the math since you're so smart.
Sorry, just being a smartass because I play both.

I don't make it a ritual to read each and every signature that lists playing cues and you will notice I don't list my regular playing setup either, but I find it interesting when I see someone list a cue from a maker I respect or own myself.

The cues, and cases, players own give some insight into the player.

Goes right along with why we own nice cues & cases in the first place
I think it's cool when guys buy an expensive cue just to play with.
Cues seem to generate more interest than anything I've seen that is sports related.
I bought my daughter a new pair of ski boots last week, and as cool as they are, who is she going to show them off to?
Hey man check out these bindings.
On the other hand when my son was a teenager I gave him a Viking plain jane and his buddies went nuts "YOU GOT A VIKING!"

There are definitely pool halls where people don't sit around and talk about cues, but not around here.
Some AZers who traveled here have commented about that, and some have even stuck around just to talk pool cues.
There was a time when I couldn't get any practice time in because of cues, but that has all but dissipated.
 
Since I have been on this rock a pretty long time I feel the answer is the social media.
Nowadays everyone has their Iphone glued to their ear an i pod with tunes a Go Pro camera to record them from dusk till dawn and they think someone cares what they are doing.
Now about 1 millionth of the people actually have something people want to see , most of it is fake boobs and soft porn , but every once in a while there is a guy who is a mechanical genius or inventor or some crazy comedian and people want to see him.
But mostly it's porn and boobies.
Everyone else is just wasting a lot of time .
Which is what you will never have enough of!!!!
Get off the phone, get off the internet get out from in front of the tv and live life.

Me? Just taking a short break from Googling fake boobs. Gotta go...
 
On "baby forums" for mothers in Switzerland, some of them have this kind of signature:

Laura / 18month 1day 1hour 2min / sleep well / 3 visit to the doctor / vaccinate / waiting for our second baby /

For pool, I quite like these signatures. It is common to have your setup as a sig.
