Playing snooker with all 15 red balls is just torturous.

How long do games last, on average? :hm:
We play with 14 reds, don't like the "real" way of racking with the 15th setting in front of the rack.
We are down to about 20 minutes a game now, unless it's one of those nights when both of us really suck :lol:

When we got the table, I bought a set of regular pool balls (but snooker-size) because I thought Drew would rather play that. He wanted to play snooker since "that's what Dad likes". For the first year or so, games were VERY long. Once he really got interested in playing - and learning how to shoot correctly - the time started coming down.

Me and him found a clip of some British champ who ran a full table of 15 reds AND making a 7 ball with every red for a perfect score, and he did it in like 5 minutes. That's what we are training for :lol: :lol: :lol:

Awesome, man! I thought you'd get a kick out of that... I'm glad you like it, and it's awesome that it has a place with your other statues. :thumb:
I will try to get around to posting pics of my bust collection AND my books which has not been revamped and had to go to a higher level to conserve space. But, just in time... I am down with a bug again and just in time as I pick up a new class of IOs Monday with a brand new two week course that I had to put together. I'll try...
As promised...

It's been demonstrated in correlational studies that a woman is more likely to adapt to her male partner's routines than vice versa, but only if the relationship is perceived to be moving forward and stable.

Therefore just put up your cave, and it's likely she'll walk into it and look around and think it's cool. :wink:

Rent (or buy) the 40 Year Old Virgin movie on DVD (even if you've seen it before),
point out how his collection is in every room of the house and then turn to her and say,
"Honey, there's no way I'll let my collection get outside of one room."

Man cave... initiated. :thumb:

My wife has slowly managed to get everything of mine into one room. But man, that room is cluttered now! I posted pictures of it before, but I'm in the process of doing some cleaning and rearranging. Nothing major, but I'll post pics once I'm done.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Nice collections, guys. I have my collections scattered around the house and we're looking to move soon anyway, so I hope to make the Mid-2007 Man-cave edition. :)

Cool! :thumb:

This is why they call it a man "cave" though...because it would be almost impossible to get any action if this was lying around you house or apartment on a regular basis :lol:
