ok, here is some interesting stuff. sitting around the bar one night in reno, earl was talking to a bunch of us players,about 5 of us,and he said "i've learned a lot of things in the many years i've been playing pool, but i'm gonna give you all some advice right now, that will help your game out tremendously,you should all listen carfully" he went on to say~~~"take off your ferrul and tip, get an old mucci ferrul that's real soft, then put on top of it,a black fibre backing not a red one but a black one, then make an X with a razor blade into the ferrul,then after putting an elk master into a vise glue it on top of that ferrul and backing, he said, "it will give you the sweetest hit in the world"
now mike sigel sitting at the bar one night was telling larry schwartz and i, you know the shots that people play today that are supposed to be fantastic? well, i invented them. for instance the kick and stick shot, when your kicking behind the ball from the lengeth of the table,and the object ball goes up table and the cue ball stops in it's tracks, well, i invented that"


well, that's what these two said in the wee hours of the morning.

Reminds me of Al Gore saying he invented the Internet.
 
Bernie ...

Were they all smiling when you got back from the bathroom? You do know what a straight man is, don't you? I had an Uncle that was so good, that you never really knew if he was serious or kidding, which ended
up him kidding almost all the time ... but he could get you going ,,, lol
 
Ya Know What I Think!

They knew they were talking in front of the worlds greatest NIT and that he would go out and convey their private conversations and make an ass out of himself. They were exactly right!!!
Purdman:D

How do ya spell NIT?

Kind of like Sigel said in Vegas that he could've won the tournament if he really wanted to, right?:D
 
Well I own the Brooklyn Bridge... h[/QUOTE]

hi,
when I sold the Brooklyn Bridge to u I made tons of profit and since then I never had to work for my living.:cool:
 
I think some of youse guys are being a lil rough on Bernie. I think this post/thread was a bit interesting. I can picture both those guys saying that. No need to kick a bleeding dog though.

I have to laugh at myself. After your first sentence and the following second sentence, I thought you were asking him if he was gay! ROFL. I had to read it another time to get what you were referencing. Sorry, it's been a long day already!

Hmm, is there anything new under the sun? Is this guy <Sigel> for real? I discovered this when I first started playing billiards (carom) and pool - and I had never even seen Sigel play. I guess that's why they call him 'The Mouth.' :eek: :confused:
