Re: Here's how it is.
We play with 14 reds, don't like the "real" way of racking with the 15th setting in front of the rack.greg wrote:Playing snooker with all 15 red balls is just torturous.
How long do games last, on average?
We are down to about 20 minutes a game now, unless it's one of those nights when both of us really suck

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

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.

THANKS IMJ !!!

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.leonmallett wrote:I need a man cave. You have inspired me guys. Can you talk my fiancee into it?
Therefore just put up your cave, and it's likely she'll walk into it and look around and think it's cool.

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.greg wrote:Rent (or buy) the 40 Year Old Virgin movie on DVD (even if you've seen it before),leonmallett wrote:You need to meet my fiancee to find out how unlikely that is....

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

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






VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month
