Question for cue guys...

Twilight Zone Episode 68, series 77- The Player

As strange as it may sound, I've discussed this question with my wife in the past.....
I think she agreed to put The Klein, Bobby Hunter, Lambros and the big It's George case with me.....
And new Master Chalk.
I know they're bound to have some on the other side, but I'm not taking any chances.:smile:

Good thread guys, I was starting to think I was the only one that ever had that going through my head!
Maybe we WILL all get together and play some someday.....:thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Eric, I say bury yourself with your favorite cue - and a 9' Diamond, in case they only have GC's up there or, heaven forbid, Olhausens. :D
Now, if you're getting cremated it's a different story. In that case leave the cue to a loved one.

Of course, I'd like to think the house cues in heaven are all Gus's and Gina's.

Before My Son Was Born, I Would Have Wanted To Be Buried With My Player...... Now That I Have Him, I'd Want Him To Use It As His Player...... Maybe It Sounds Fruity, But Thats What I Feel.

As Far As My Collection Goes, I'm Sure One Of My Cue Friends Would Help My Wife Sell Them, And Make Sure She Gets The Money To Take Care Of Things.

P.s. Fatboy, You Come Up With Some Morbid Questions. Meaningful......but, Morbid.

The Eqyptians were buried in the pyramids with things to help them on their journey or in the afterlife. I am being cremated and mixed with all my dogs ashes and scattered at my favorite place I had while growing up. I had never considered a cue also, now I am.
Not trying to tell you how to run your life Eric, but I think you need to learn to meditate. I'm a 3rd degree Reiki practitioner, so have a few Reiki sessions with a qualified practitioner or try meditating.
I believe learning how to breathe properly (Tanden breathing) when you feel a stress attack coming
will help. Believe it or not, either way, I use Reiki when playing pool.

OK, as strange as this question sounds, I've given it some thought...
Pick out your best looking cue and ask your family to have it in the coffin with you for the wake, but, pick out your best playing cue and ask your family to bury it with you. If there is pool in the hereafter, you want your best player.

The Custom Coffin

Eric, Since you can afford it, commission someone to build a custom coffin with custom cue like handles and billiard theme inlays on the lid. The top could be covered with Simonis. Maybe Barry will fit four matching cues into his schedule for the handle portion. This also will give you the incentive to relax and enjoy what we all have left of this life. None of it is worth being stressed out about. Hope you get to feeling better. Bob H. (Just drove through Vegas Saturday-Back to Coeur d'Alene from S. Cal)
 
Screw the cue. When i'm planted you can include ANGELINA, PAM, JEN, EVA, SOPHIA, MARILYN, JAYNE, ANNA (sluts are fun on occasion), TRIGGER, FARRAH, KATHERINE (she was HOWWWWWWT), ROSEANNE (w/o bad GR8 can get boring) and the HELL'S KITCHEN asswhole to keep us fed.

That's not too much to ask, is it?

YOU HAD ME UP UNTIL ROSEANNE.........
 
Cues and Death

Before I had my son, I wanted to be buried with my cue. My buddy already told me that he would dig me up to get the cue. Now, my son will get my motorcycles, guitars and cues, and whatever else I have that may be worth something. No if's, and's or but's about it.
 
eric , if you were buried with your cues or even cue I would think you might have a few grave robbers because it crossed my mind when asked the question. Sean and I have always said to each other after making a bad deal that the cue in question would be used as a septor on our coffin.
thanks matt

this might sound weird, my heart was acting up again-I dont know why i was in a meeting sitting on a love seat in my conference room and my chest tightned up bad. I had to hit the nitro hard to feel better and now I'm in bed with a headache from it. I get arterial spasms in my heart from stress and that can trigger a instant fatal heart attack, I have ZERO placque or blockages in my heart, they put the camera in there to see, I never smoked(not once, not even pot-never once), barely drink, eat healthy most of the time and weigh 235. So I'm not in a high risk group, but the stress is bad for me, the economy and watching my bankroll disappear and my biz hasnt helped me, I first went down when I was 35 from this-I was making $800,000/month then-but still had massive stress, perhaps more then than now. Stress is bad stuff


so to my point I am laying here my cue is next to me-on my bed. If I died would it be weird to be bruied with a cue??? Some people get buried with their wedding ring, or other stuff. Its kinda a waste of a cue, I dont want to get buried with any old junk cue, however I dont want to take a perfectly good Gus out of circulation either.


So if you died would you want to be buried with a cue??? and if so your player cue, or a cue you had for years? no i'm not high on pain meds been off them for months. Its a legit question. I'd like to have a cue in the box with me, it might get lonely in there-ya never know. What if you go to the pearly gates and they ask where's your cue and you say its at home and my family is selling it off, you would feel pretty silly, not like you can go home and get it-your dead!!!

So what if any cue is your coffin cue???

and NO i'm not on meds-except nitro, but that kind of scare gets a guy thinking weird stuff. I didnt post this in the regualr forum, just for cue guys, most people probably dont care.

Sorry to hear about your condition. Hopefully the economy will get better and make ALL of us feel better lol...
But my cues that mean a lot to me will go to my son. The kind of collection you have, the many Balabushka and Szamboti cues, they should be cues collectors share pics with people many years from now so as to let the next generations know the history of our sport and people who made it what it is etc... But that's just my two cents. You bought what you got, so just like me, you can do with them as you please lol...

You seem to be wondering if its a weird idea. Its NOT. As a player I thought about it. And told my wife I wanted to be buried with my cue.

As a cuemaker I'm not sure what cue that will be since I am completing a new cue for myself;)

And you know its only money --- took me a long time to figure it out. If you have your health and everything is ok with your family then life is good. Its only money to be made and spent.
 
here after

I hope you feel better fatman and won't have to worry about it for a long time

Interesting Thread

Well, it is yours to do what you will. You can take a cue and break it, burn it, etc. Any true fan of the game would preserve them for the next generation. Donate them, etc. I think it is similar to one who does not play with a cue as well (and we have had this conversation Eric and I know you use all of them). I understand things like this, we really "own" nothing, it us all on loan, we really don't buy something, we are renting it.
 
Hey , buddy , this is america and you can do it ... A dear friend , Don McClure was laid to rest with most of his cause we all know where he is going after making it through the pearly gates ... The first 4-1/2x9 he sees ...:cool:
 
I'm gonna take my ex-wife with me.........that'll fix her ass.

:nanner: :nanner: :nanner: :lmao:
 
Hey Eric, Not only should you be buried with the cue of your choice, you should also be layed out on a nice table and buried with it too! Make sure your grave marker has a pool theme with silver diamond and dot or propeller inlays!

On another note, maybe it's time to consult with a stress management expert who doesn't use a medication approach.
