So I got drunk, gambled, almost got kicked out and bought a cue

You lost because you were shooting with a Meucci :wink:

It actually felt pretty good, but in all honesty I could have been wielding a Southwest, broom stick, or ninja sword and I wouldn't have known the difference. Daddy was drunk

Great story. I have some good gambling stories too. I think you got a pretty good deal on the cue. Worst case scenario, you can always get back what you paid if you ever decide to sell it. If you ever go to Dollar Tree, look in the hair care isle and grab a pack of fabric covered elastic bands similar to the ones in the picture below. They come in packs of about 30 for $1. They also come in packs of all black. They fit perfectly around money and look much nicer than regular rubber bands.

I find that regular thin rubber bands are pretty effective. I like the colored ones. I also use my daughters hair bands for luck sometimes.
 
Ahhhh yes. The perfect night, lol!!!:thumbup:

It had a little bit of everything. Including a purchase!
 
A man's gotta have a few drinks and howl at the moon once in a while.
But waking up in the morning with a Meucci is worse than waking up
with the ugliest broad in town.

Call the guy and offer him $90 to take it back.

all of the above is true. lol
 
I don't care what anyone says, I'd pay 90 bucks for that in a heart beat. My first cue was a plain old meucci and I still take it out shooting sometimes and knock em dead, and it was.....1/15 the cost of my custom??
 
Funny story and sounded like a good time.

A big time gambler one laid his Meucci on the front seat of his car with both windows rowed down. He walks into the pool hall and announced it. A few hours later, after he gambled, he walks back to his car. To his amazement, there were two Meuccis on his front seat...LOL True story!

Not sure why many of you dislike Meucci's? The one's I played with shot very well. I even like the old red dot shafts...

This has the black dot shaft with matching ring work. From what I can tell those sell for $100+ by themselves.

no doubt, you got a good value at $90, even though it's a lesser quality newer model.

however, your overall business plan does need some tweaking, imo. :wink::eek::grin-square:

best,

Have kids. That'll solve the above issue in a heartbeat.....

oh, you'd better believe I know that. I have a 7 year old daughter and a 3 year old son. The daughter just started playing basketball and just had to have the pink Air Jordan's. $80 for shoes she'll probably wear for 3 months. Ridiculous
 
Decided to go out last night to the pool hall I used to frequent in Athens since I hadn't been out in a while. I get there and the guys I'm supposed to go out with are playing in the weekly pool tourney that goes on until the wee hours of the morning. So I started drinking crown and diet and shots of chilled patron like I'm 25 again. After 7-8 drinks and several shots, I decide since I'm not going downtown I might as well gamble a little....bad idea.

Since I don't own a cue, I borrowed one from a guy to shoot with. After losing a couple of $200 sets of 8-ball (which weren't even close), I decided to really go off and told the entire room the window was open if anyone wanted to bet on the other guy in the next set, another bad idea. I was upset because 1.) I was playing horrible and seeing like 30 balls on the table and 2.) I knew the guys that were betting were shooting a toothpick at a lumber yard because I was drunk so I showed a my ass a little. Apparently the tournament director and bartenders don't like loud drunks so they not so politely asked me to leave. After tense negotiations, all of the people that know me convinced them to let me stay.

The guy whose cue I was using had to leave so I was going to be without a cue if I wanted to continue to play. He said he'd sell it to me if I wanted it so I said sure and bought it, lol. (pics to follow)

After splitting 2 more sets (I finally made a ball after they cut me off at 2:30 am), I decided I'd had enough since it was 5 in the morning. All in all, it was a pretty shitty night and I'm not drinking again until the next time.

Here's the cue. From what research I've done, it looks like a Meucci SE-11, but it's not numbered like some of the pics I've looked at. Some have been numbered and some haven't. If anyone has any info then please chime in. I figured I couldn't go wrong for $90, lol. He asked for a c-note, but I offered $90 since I'm a purchase nit. I'll run up a $500 tab and donk off $500 in a heart beat, but will go out of the way to save $10 on a cue I don't need, go figure.

As you was walking out, you should have snapped the cue over your knee (ala Bo Jackson), dropped it like a microphone, and exited the "stage"!

Wait until they start wearing adult sizes.......that $80 turns into $200 real quick! I have two sons, and I spent over $400 on shoes for Christmas. Damn you KD!
