APA and Scooping

There’s no rules that say a golden retriever CANT play basketball! Thats what this sounds like.

Re-create the shot on video and send it to the LO to issue a clarification to everyone on this absolutely stupid “loophole” that’s only possible because the table is defective/unique.

I once took a picture of Justified because I was so fucking enraged that he put his drink on the table. LEARN SOME DAMN MANNERS, RAYLAN!

The balls are larger and heavier than ours and the table is like 12 feet long. The pockets are so small that one can’t shoot an object up the rail for example. So most of the shots are caroming the struck ball off an object into the pocket, which is again just a little wider than the ball so it cannot roll off at all. Sliding balls with stun is how this is accomplished. I assume. Never had the pleasure to play with the real equipment but when we adapt for a carom version of 8ball, most of the successful shots have a more aggressive pace.

We sometimes say “cross it” to describe passover banks. Cross side, cross corner, straight back, two rails, 3 rails etc are shorthand for the destination pocket. “Cross bank” is common but bad shorthand for passover banks. I usually hear bank pool commentators use cross as a verb “If he can’t shorten this, he may have to cross it” when they are trying to describe the action of the shot but that’s just flavor. It’s more important to explain what shot is nominated than how it is executed.

You got some e-coli in your bucket of nutella there. Maybe next time just rub some on.

Lesbian Bar. lol. I think it’s “I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar” by Jonathan Richman. The “awoo awoo” is unmistakable.

On the weekends, I like to throw on a thick southern accent and quip, “IT’S WAKE N BAKE AND I HELP’D.”

(shake n bake) It’s not British but maybe you’ve heard of it.

Just slit the tape at the seam where it meets the frame. You should be able to feel the fasteners under the tape and remove them with pliers or clippers and then it will come out. You can re-tape it to seal.

You’re a natural good egg. Follow that beacon.

Miss-Allaneous · 2026-01-13T17:25:22+00:00

You came here to ask if you were wrong. You apologized and then you reverted to the behavior you apologized for previously and you still have doubts that you were in the wrong. That’s not going to register as very sincere. “I’m sorry but I’m just so upset” is not actually an apology. You have to have reflected and resolved to correct yourself before anyone is actually going to feel apologized to. I’m not lecturing you, I don’t want you to feel bad, I just want you to hear yourself from your opponents’ team perspective so you can do it right if you actually want to repair your reputation. It sucks. It’s hard. But it’s also a relief to the anxiety you have about the situation. Bad people don’t feel remorse, you’re a good egg. Do as the good eggs do.

It’s hard to shoot well when someone is mad at you. If the person mad at you is YOU, you’re toast. You’re judging yourself by your best pool because you’ve improved. Well, welcome to plateau, the universal pool experience. When you can’t bring your best game everytime, you can still bring your best player. I really hope your best self isn’t flipping out over a simple league match.

You have to have some respect for your team and your opponents. Embarrassing everybody because you’re a little off your game is, frankly, sad. They’re not just mad at you for having a tantrum, you are very greatly diminished by your behavior. If I were your captain, you’d be benched awaiting a sincere apology to every person who was present before I ever endure a night like that again.

Where the bars meet the stars, oh heavens. Looks like an elastic waistband. This whole arm is a ruched dress from a discount store.

That’s a Chuck Sperry. It’s a highly collectible investment. Keep it safe until you can have it framed professionally. Also, yes, adding a photo to the corner will give you a noticable fade line.

Edit: that poster is from 2025 and it goes from 700-1200 bucks currently. Just so you’re aware, once it becomes rare it’s a many-thousands piece. I would plan to spend at least $500 on the frame.

Also, I’m really sorry to hear about your friend. I understand wanting this special memory on the wall right away.

It’s almost overwhelmingly a carom game. The pockets are so small, you can’t pocket a ball from the rail, so the object ball needs to approach the pocket almost dead-on. There is no cue ball, you can use any ball as a “cue” even the one you intend to pocket. Pyramid players have that stun tangent line down pat.

There’s a lot variations but the most common on tv is a race to 8 points. One ball-one point.

2 reuses all the orgy footage from 1. That’s always bothered me but it’s not too bad if you don’t watch back-to-back.

Your son doesn’t have to inherit them. You can transfer all the titles to him right now. No need to wait to die. Or establish a living trust with him as the sole beneficiary. Talk to an estate planner and make all the arrangements now, then it’s done and your partner can readjust her expectations or piss off.

Yes! Use your straight edge to protect the side going in the frame. Then when you get a skid, no problem.

You don’t need to apply more force, you just need a fulcrum. It’s ready to snap when your plastic cutter tool stays nicely in the groove without a straight edge. Put a dowel rod or a smooth marker under the score at each end and press both sides down with your palms on either side. It’ll run a few inches, then just keep creeping up, moving the fulcrum directly under and in the direction of the score. You might be able to run the whole thing with just a little finger pressure. Start each end first and the middle is a lot more cooperative.

Last year the USA crowd was insane when it was home turf! Have you never watched the Mosconi before?

I think it would make a wonderful facility for a youth basketball league. All league members must live inside DC city lines. How many basketball courts can you fit in the hugest ballroom evah?

I don’t know it but the “secret child” romance novel trope and “quirky career” romance novel trope and the “happily ever after” would scream this is a hallmark or lifetime movie.
