Fatboy and I did a deal on a Gus cue I had (for nearly 25 yrs), I was the seller, and despite the fact that the cue market is a bit down (understatement), Eric stepped up and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He paid, I shipped, he receives it and pm'd me that he's real happy, so I chalk it up to a nice, enjoyable deal, all the way around.
Maybe two nights later I get a call from him saying that he has actually been using the Gus and he's making shots with it that heretofore were not makeable. Like never. And so I'm happy about it for him but he's going on and on to the point that I'm wondering, did I make a mistake selling it. Was this Gus, in fact, a true magic wand? Well anyway, we had some more pleasant chat and hung up, I thought this was the end of a nice deal. Wrong.
My phone has not stopped ringing but here's the killer. And I mentioned this to him once (or twice). Apparently, he keeps some odd hours or maybe he loses track that I'm on the east coast, or whatever, but my phone is ringing sometimes at 3 a.m. WTF!
So get this. Now he's saying that not only is this the best cue that he's ever had in his hands, still making unreal shots and all, but add to that, he now claims the cue is having some miraculous healing power on his back, which many of us know has been causing him lots of difficulty for years. I'm honestly, really happy for his uptrend but I asked, sincerely, couldn't the relief he's experiencing be something to do with other therapies or treatments he's been receiving?
Well, to make a long story slightly shorter, there is zero doubt in his mind. This cue is making amazing shots and also, causing Eric to feel like a new man, almost pain free. I really am happy for this.
How can a pool cue be doing all this, I don't know.
Now Eric is calling me, still so happy with everything (look for his post here in the next day or so), that he is inviting me to join him and his lady at their beautiful compound in Vegas for some 10 ball and one pocket, room, board, he'll pick up my plane fare (what?) and, are you ready for this, while I'm there, Eric has offered that I can use one of his Rolls Royces. (one of - lol!)
Okay, maybe all these calls at 2-4 am EST are worth it.
Did I sell this cue too cheap?
Eric, you're a great guy and I seriously will check my schedule. This sounds like a once in a lifetime oppty.
But please man, let me get some sleep.
Best,
Brian kc

Oh my gawwwwwd, that *was* priceless! I can't stop laughing!
-Sean <-- whose laughing led to a case of the "hic'em ups" -- drinking some water to try and relieve 'em...
:killingme:
Try plugging your ears tight THEN drink (from a straw, you should have a finger in each ear). This is an amazing remedy, you all can thank me later.

UPDATE:
Okay, just off the phone with Fatboy and, can you believe this; now he wants my Bushka.
After what I went through over the Gus, good luck with that.
Best,
Brian kc <------- wishing he really had such problems like Gusses and Bushkas laying around.

I can get rid of the demons using my Pendulum.
Send your cue to me.
Hoping it is a George or a Gus. Hehe.
Spider, Pay Pal me a 20 and a picture of your knee and I will have it fixed up for you in no time.

You will, of course, let me know if that ever were to happen, right? I got "north of Boston" down real good.
I'd be right along, promptly!
What, are you going to dribble chicken's blood on it and roll the bones while chanting in Swahili?
-Sean <-- hopes that chicken blood ain't from the kickin' type...

What are the differences between a pool cue and a Snooker cue?

Snooker - cue is a tool to be mastered by the player
Pool - cue is a magical instrument that will make a banger a world champion; magical properties can be improved by adding leather made from skins of exotic or endangered animals, ivory, linen stolen from Irish leprechauns, or whatever else the snake oil salesmen can foist on gullible pool players.

I'm sure you'll come up with a way to spin that to actually be true. I have a magic Black Boar you may be interested in...
Since it is long distance I will send you a pic of my knee and a pic of a $20 bill...
Heck no, I just make up stuff, but it sounds good.
Guys, don't be naysayers here. Google pendulums and diving rods.
You can do a lot of wild stuff with them, seriously.
I put positive energy into my playing cue. It doesn't help my game worth a crap but my cue is
all charged up. Its like a lightening bolt.
