I have no idea what your talking about, and will let the mods figure this one out. ENJOY.
Of course, you are at least smart enough to know it would be STUPID to have a ebay link for magic chalk here, right? You realize I have to pay fee's for selling on Ebay, so why in the HELL would I send folks to Ebay to buy chalk from a place that does NOT charge fee's???
Put down the pipe son
Of course I knew you would type that. LOL... "I have no idea". "will let mods figure this out". Whatever. At least your avatar shows the man you really are. Think about it, it fits you perfectly. Oh, I thought your "son" sold on ebay. You just said "I have to pay fee's for selling on Ebay". Besides, it was apparently someone you knew that placed the link to begin with. Don't act innocent, I know better. Please, continue to deny all you want...
Whatever your name is, you are just bad action. Period. Would you like me to post the PM's? You initially were going to sell me 10 boxes and then decided at the last minute to change it to 3 boxes. Why? Because you claim everyone could get some that way. BS. You did that to maximize your profits. Just be HONEST about it..lol. I had a talk with another AZ member that you did the same exact thing to. Then you go on to call me a moron. Haha. Of course I called you out on it, and you run back to your hole. I provided you my name, phone number, address, and email address. You wouldn't even provide me with your name and I know why that is. Thanks for the free box of chalk, it got me started in the right direction, which lead to the next paragraph....
Well, guess what? I only started selling this because of you. I really don't care, but I know it is important to you.
Which now leads me to the next phase......
You made it personal and I am now making it fun. Thank you.
I am the OP.
This post was a test to see what kind of people are active in these forums.
A few months ago I made a good informative post about the 9 ball break that only got 10 replies. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=389628
Now I make a dumb comment about gloves and I get over 100 comments.
I guess most people are only here to ***** and complain and argue over a god damn glove. What a joke...

Your post wasn't all that new or informative ... That's why it was :boring2:
I understand why people look at glove wearers different. Especially if they suck. It comes across as tue glove is making them play better. Kind of like a weak player using a 5grand cue.
Personally I'd never wear one. They just look too keen when you're surrounded by drunk guys in a bar or pool hall.

That's pretty much it for me, Pidge. I don't knock anyone's equipment but poseurs are just that, and it's something I've never been able to bring myself to be. Someone who uses equipment and/or wears gear that's worth a fortune, but don't have game worth a damn. Pool is no exception, it's everywhere. I expect to see people geared up at high level events. I always found it out of place in bars. But hey, I just bought my first cue last year after 20 years of pulling house cues off the wall. LOL!
I don't think it matters if a player "sux" or not. If it's easy for them to a cue a ball, then let them. Are they having fun? Are they spending money? Are they our brothers in the game of pool? Heck, they are one of "us", are they not ?
You never, and I mean, never see folks talk about equipment as much as billiards. I've never heard a negative comment in baseball, been playing it for 45 years, about equipment. I mean, we have batting gloves, fielding gloves, bat (many diff woods) shoes, (metal and plastic) etc. About the only complaint is certain balls don't "fly" out as easily, but once you know what ball you're using, you don't try and "jack" it.
Nobody cares what bat the other guy uses, nobody cares what glove the other guy has. If I see a poor fielder wearing a Wilson A2000 glove, I don't assume he's a "dork' cause he's not good enough to deserve to wear such an expensive glove that many pro's wear (retail about $300).
I just assume here is a guy who bought good equipment because he does not want to buy a glove that is only gonna last him one or two seasons, this one will last him a decade or more, not to mention, his hand is NOT going to sting on line drives, cause the more expensive gloves have better padding.
So, folks moan and groan cause pool is dying, and nobody plays as much anymore, but when they play, they moan and groan cause they use this or that equipment, or they are not very good, and don't deserve to be at the table because they are so bad.
True Story. Playing pool with fellow AZB'er about a week ago. Two tables over a guy and his girl are playing, and are terrible, but having fun. I noticed they NEVER chalk their cues.... so I'm thinking, no way could these folks be using Magic Chalk... so I watch a little more, and they begin to mis cue like crazy, every other shot.
They have NO chalk at the table, and are not looking for any. I walk over and give them a piece of chalk that is on our table. I really don't think they knew what it was for, and I told them need to chalk cue before shooting. and they did.
My first thought was not what a couple of "banger idiots", but man, they need some chalk. Funny part, is when they left, the brought the piece back over to me and thanked me. It was not "my" chalk, just Masters from the table. I'm guessing first time they ever played pool, but they were having fun

OMG! I'll assume you don't fly fish? Lol
I've never seen any activity that has so much attention and snobbery about the stuff people use to catch a frickin' fish. It is right off the wall compared to pool. From the rods, to the lines, to the leaders, right down to the fly and whether or not you use a full-barb Mustad hook, or a chemically sharpened mini-barb Daiichi hook, or a traditional English Partridge hook.
Fast action rods, slow action rods, progressive action rods, short rods, long rods, 2-piece or 3-piece rods, split bamboo or graphite, boron, fiberglass, composite reel seat or wood, cork wrap or rubber. And you don't just WANT lots of them, you absolutely NEED lots of them.
Some of the reels alone could set you back a couple truck payments - each - and that's for new stuff, not collectables. Plus, you need extra spools for all your reels, with fly lines of different densities for top, intermediate and bottom fishing on each one, and in several different weights that match the line handling capacities of the rods. And all this stuff ends up costing you thousands, just to catch a trout that you will carefully land and immediately release back into the river.
Then there is the concern about the actual fly tying materials - natural or synthetic, lead-wrapped shanks or no, brass or tungsten bead heads, Chinese rooster hackles or the new "genetic" saddle hackles from Whiting. It goes on and on forever. And yet to the practitioners, it's all part of the sport. Rare is it the guy who doesn't get drawn into it all. Maybe it's because fly fishermen have nothing better to do all winter. Unless they're rich enough to fly to New Zealand or Patagonia.
But I gotta tell, nothing makes me have to suppress a smirk more than seeing a 30-something couple slide out of their new SUV at the parking spot, all decked out in their identical spanking new Orvis fly fishing outfits that they just spent over $2000 on right after their 2-day fly fishing class.
They will both have every gadget known to mankind dangling from tiny retractable "zingers" attached to their vests, and the guy will lead the way to the river bank, take one step and end up ass-first slipping down into the water. When he recovers, he will grab his handy dandy stream thermometer, stick it in the water for a minute and yell up to his GF in a cold and shivering voice, "67º... the blue-winged olives should be hatching any time." (he has never seen a real blue-winged olive in his life, and has no clue he is going to need to fish the rusty spinner tonight because that is what the fish will be on).
Sorry, I am kind and helpful enough to them, and maybe they are in some sense "brothers of the cloth", but do they really have to wear their ineptitude so conspicuously?
Yeah, pool pales by comparison. But the main reason I wouldn't want to be seen wearing a glove is not because I suck (I do) but because in the bars I usually played in, I'd probably be beaten to death in the men's room by half a dozen bikers.
I'd rather a person use a glove rather than the table look like a snow storm hit it in the middle of December. I got a rack of balls the other day that looked like someone had dumped a half a bottle of baby powder in the bottom of the box. I took them back and got another set.
Are you sure it's baby powder?
Maybe the party before you really had a party!!!

Personal... too funny. over chalk none the less. Dude, it you want to make it fun, sell your chalk for $4 and steal all the business you want. I mean, if it is only fun, why are you trying to make a profit. Sell it cheap, I mean, since you are only in this for fun. C'mon, do it.
Well, when you're right, you're right. Not only do I not fly fish, but I don't fish of any kind. dont' really know what fly fishing is, do they have wings

Apparently I greenie'd you recently and AZ won't let me do it again. so here's a thumbs up :thumbup:
Classic thread ... almost 120 posts concerning if you're less of a man if you wear a glove. WTF? I guess woman can wear gloves in the OP's mind or would that make their femininity questionable?
The glove is the teacher!

Tom, the OP was just messing about the subject seeing if AZ would take the bait and explode post on his arse. It worked. Happy Tuesday
Yea. That was exactly my point. Over chalk. Pretty silly, but I expect that from you.Personal... too funny. over chalk none the less. Dude, it you want to make it fun, sell your chalk for $4 and steal all the business you want. I mean, if it is only fun, why are you trying to make a profit.
