Earl just got a new sponsor, the Hathaway Broom Company. He will soon be playing with their new lightweight feather duster model, with the long tapered handle and tight peacock feather bottom. He will be using a revolutionary new tip made out of skunk skin. It smells funny but is very tacky and should make it easy to use extreme english.

I heard he is getting $100 per event, a slight decrease in pay, but times are tough so you have to take what you can get. And he will also get a dozen feather dusters to sell at each event he goes to. A nice bonus worth nearly $200, if he sells them all retail. That shouldn't be any problem either. Who wouldn't want a broom signed by Earl?

The hard part is figuring out the best way to grip the feathers. I understand Earl is testing Eskimo mittens as they seem to hold the feathers firmly and yet not too tight.

It looks like Earl will soon be sweeping away the competition once again. :D
LOL.........

Who knows? There's this idiot in Atlanta that babbles on and on saying that you're Mike Howerton and that I am 68 years old. For all we know, Travis could be Janet Shimel. Unlikely, but possible.

The top arrow is the beginning of his taper.. starting at around 1 1/2 inch from the collar... :eek:
It is done tapering at around 2 1/2 inches later at the bottom arrow :eek: :eek: :eek:
Earls_taper.jpg


Most people with stock shafts have around a 12-14inch taper. This pic shows a 24-26 inch taper (assuming a 29 inch shaft).

Very similar to the taper on SVB's cue.

If APA7 is Mike H, Travis is DCP, then maybe SVB & Earl are also the same person.

That's ok, we've also figured out that Pan Xiaoting was posting as The Woim.

:D :p :D

Well shazam! Wouldn't that be something? How did you even think of that?
That would explain a lot.....Nobody has ever gotten a PM or a rep point from Travis that I'm aware of despite having his (her?) share of fans. It certainly keeps CueTec in the AZB limelight as well.The only known photos of Travis Trotter is when he / she is high fiving Allie after yet another win on ESPN.:)

Maybe my pal Tim5000 is really MR. Shimel. He's the one with the beaver chewing on the CueTec in his great avator pic!:D (Sorry buddy, couldn't resist!:))

Blackjack, very cool thought. Something to consider at least.

Thanks Terry... In reality I'm not Mr. S. or even Mrs. S.

As far as the avatar, besides Cuetec my beaver also loves Liquid Wick cues! After all, their website says 'Play Like A Pro For $99' You can't beat that, that's cheaper than Cuetec! I notice Jeanette Lee on the Liquid Wick website... I wonder which one her beaver prefers?

Tim,
We all know that cause we seen your picture on another thread. You got proof! Travis Trotter doesn't!:eek:

Regarding your beaver.....:D
Do you remember when Bigskyjake had that beaverzilla creature as his avator pic? Well, rumor has it that that particular beaver was fed a steady diet of Meucci's. And look what it did to him!!

You better be careful around that little fellow. Mix in some other wood just to keep his diet balanced! Maybe a couple of Lucasi's every now & then...

PS-We ain't seen hide nor hair of Deadpoked official AZB mascot since Bigskyjake's beaverzilla made it's debut. Wonder what or who else is in that bely?:eek:
