I found out last night that Tony's kid is eight years old. Then I realized how old that made me.

At oregon Brewers festival and this guy sees me going into a porta-potty. Goes in the one next door and through the walls tells me that it's an honor to take a piss next to me, a real 12th man because he hates the Seahawks. He then asks if he can get a picture with me...this whole convo takes place in the porta. Not sure if he was that drunk or that was just him.
quote:Nice. Is that some sort of shadow or does the grain actually turn red?
I'm pretty sure EXIF metadata is removed by imgur. I guess I could also take a selfie but I hope this is enough.

I just my cue back from the billiard factory so I can post it. I badly needed a new tip, so i went all fancy top-of-the-line with a Kamui medium-hardness clear laminated tip. A good tip makes all the difference, the past couple of weeks I've shot like **** because the tip was so worn down that it would hardly even hold chalk. The cue is a 'Players' brand, nothin fancy, I think it cost me about $100 forever ago. These Kamui tips are supposed to be excellent at retaining shape and holding chalk.
This is my gear. These are probably the basics you want to eventually acquire if you get to where you are playing daily/weekly. The blue thing is a Claw, its just something you set on the bar or against a table to keep your cue upright when you aren't shooting. Then below that is a pocket chalk holder. Some people could give or take the glove, but having one means not having to chalk up your hands every few turns, one less thing to think about, one more variable to hold constant. In a precision/finesse game like pool, you want to hold as many variables steady as you can. That's why at a minimum, folks should get their own cue (even if its a cheap one). You want to play with the same cue every time. Below that is a cue tip shaper that you use every once in a while to rough up the tip to hold chalk better. And finally below that is a little bridge piece that you attach to the end of another cue for when you want to make a shot requiring a bridge. The only thing I'm missing is a breaking cue, which is, as you guessed, used for breaking. Breaking cues are heavier, thicker, with a harder tip. I was going to pick one up yesterday but decided I'd shop around online first.

So now we've seen each other's shafts and I couldn't feel gayer.
