My Beloved House Cue

In memoriam - The Beast - 2001-2007.

I arrived at the local bar last night to find my favorite house cue -- the one I used to break with -- in a tragic & irrepairable state. Someone (or some Thing) had put a large crack directly where the joint would be if it were a two piece cue.

She was a 23oz (misleadingly labeled 21oz) Valley cue with four uneven rosewood points spliced into maple. I'd retipped her myself with a hard tip & sanded the clear coat from her shaft; I always carefully put her back into her favorite wall rack & harbored her from the dangerous groping paws of intoxicated frat boys.

So, this thread's for you Beast. Thanks for the good times, and you will be missed.
 
My Condolences.. We have all gone through this. A little time is all you need. You'll find another house cue and be breakin like a champ in no time.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have a few "marked" in my main playing room that I use for breaking with all the time. When I am done playing I always put them back in the area of the pool hall that doesn't get much use so they are easy to find:)
 
Oh, the humanity! When will this tragic, senseless violence stop?
STOP DRUNKEN FRAT BOY ON HOUSE CUE CRIME! CONTACT YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSMAN AND DEMAND ACTION!
 
I am sorry for your loss, but let's not kid ourselves... it was inevitible.

At 23oz. The Beast was not only overweight, but mis-labled as a 21 (known favorite of Tequila gulping frat f**ks). They swoon over a 21 oz. cue worse than middleschool boys over nekkid posters of Pamela Anderson.

It was just a matter of time before one of them took her down and bent her over the rail. If that had not happened, the overweight condition of her body would have certainly meant death by congestive purple-heart failure.

Momma don't let your babies grow up to be bar cues...

This is true.

I can remember several occasions where, upon arriving at the bar, the Beast was already in the eager hands of some foul mouthed beer glutton. It was during these times I employed what has come to be known as the "bait & switch"; I would grab a 21oz cue and have my girlfriend challenge whomever possessed the Beast, through subtle misdirections I would attract their attention away from the Beast & switch the cue out unnoticed.

Later, three tables down, we would often hear them and their drunken lamentations, "Damn dawg, this shit feels light" & "This ***** is all crooked & shit."

Good recreation of frat boy linguistics, Matt. The only thing that would make it more accurate would be the addition of the word "yo" to the end of each sentence.
examples:
"That shot was all f*ckin' lucky and sh*t, yo"
or
"check it out, check it out, look how f*ckin' stupid I look with my pants all pulled down and sh*t, yo"

Hope this helps.

I must say you hit it right on the head with that post. There pretty bad here in Florida Too. I kinda switched to a house cue, It looks odd when I walk in with an $800 Schon.
 
You found a VALLEY house cue that worked for you? That in itself is EPIC! Sorry for the loss bro.
 
have you ever thought the beast was cheating on u all these years,always in hands of the other,being stroked by hundreds of others.SLAMMED against the table by hundreds.the way i see it the beast was a whore.from young,to even old men shooting blanks.
i have no respect for slutty cues like that and if it were me i'd be chalking the s**t out of her so she could cheat no more.

where has the loyalty gone!!!!!!!!!!!!
