Does your pool cue have a name

If not, why not? Golfers always have a name for their driver or putter. Bobby Jones called his putter Calamity Jane, and when Sam Sneads first driver fell apart, he held it in his arms and cried like a baby all night long.

My LTD-3 Bushka is called Delilah, because when I am out on the road, away from Yo Sarah, me cue sleeps with me in me bed. My Schuler break cue is called Black Beauty, because it is loaded with pure black Ebony.

It's all in how you train them early on. They have to know where they stand. If you let them dictate they are going to be number one in your life, then yo fookin life is gonna be hell on earth.

I just asked Yo Sarah the question, the joint is now on fire, I have to make a choice, I can only save one, do I run out with my LTD-3 bushka cue, or save you. She said, you save your cue of course. I went, yo, dats a right broad. She is trained, she knows where she stands on my list of importance. She knows she can never get above my Bushka or my Golf driver, so she accepts this lower position in life. Then the conflict and competition stops, and I am at peace and my wa is now in tact.
Guys, real men, understand this, chicks call me a chauvinist pig. Most of them are Bull Dykes any Hu, so Hu cares what they think>

So what's your cues name?

Women are incapable of understandin, a pool playin man, or a drinkin man, or a ramblin man, and if the man she marries is all 3, which most pool players are, God help the poor thing.

Yep, a wife and a full time job has ruined many a good pool player.

My cue does not have a name, but the Ferrari is named "Tree Frog" its red and the front light popu up like frog's eyes.

It took me 5-7 years training my wife not to expect a call everynight when I am overseas (or not) on business. Once they do get over it, however, it is well worth the hassle of getting it through to them (gently my friend, gently).

A real name no. But I have called it a few names in the past.

I call mine the Boar. My better half says the Boar would come first. I said, that's not true. But now, if the Boar could learn to cook. :)

I called my first cue Michael Caine.

It looked really good, but wasn't very high performance, and was warped badly after two or three years use.

I've not named one since, because despite its shortcomings, I've not felt the same kind of attachment to any of my others.


The girlfriend versus all that other stuff is an ongoing battle. I make a good effort to set out certain boundaries, but sometimes cave to the guilt trips and the whining, and that probably makes things much harder for myself.

It the boar even had a snatch, she would be long gone, and she knows it. And there is always Pizza delivery?
You see you lie about it, to make her feel good, but she knows you lie like a dog. Women have this 6th sense, there is no way to lie to them, and get away with it. Usually they know you are lying like a dog about the lip stick on your collar, and they will let it ride, but they will slowly punish you for it for a long time. Women have memories, like an Elephant. Yo Sarah can tell you she-yit I pulled 25 years ago. I can't tell you what I did last week. But Johnny Walker has made my brain into JellO. I walk around teethered to Max, my German Shepherd going what, huh, ?????

I get by with murder now, I just blame it all on old timers disease.

Yea, women know we are pigs, that's just the way it is. That's the way we were when they meet us. And we are never going to change.

GRASSHOPPER, THEREIN IS PROBLEMO.

What I tell them, is what you see is what you get. Men do not change. But they all think they can build you into their vision of perfect man, and when that fails, it aint pretty.

Here is the case where brutal honesty actully is very useful. Neither lie nor hide relevent details, sooner or later she will cut you off when you have said "no" and does not need any further explanation. At that point, you, my friend, have the upper hand (for a while).

My wife may have believed in your second phrase, but no longer does.

Man, brutal honesty, no way, no how. I think there are times when they want you to lie to them, because they already know the truth, don't want to hear it, because they don't want to act on it, can't face it, so they will let it ride and then just punish you for months......
Its a form of denial they go through.

We had a Falcon football player who was a real rounder, and he snuck in one morning around 6am drunk as a skunk, just as the sun was coming up, and he flopped on the sofa just as his wife was waking up and coming in the room. She said, Harmon, where have you been all night long. He said honey, I got home after midnight, and I did not want to wake you up, and it was such a lovely warm summer night, I went out to the hammock in the back yard, got in to smoke a cig, and fell sound asleep. The birds just woke me up and I just walked in.

His wife said, Harmon, that hammock rotted and fell down two years ago. There is not one out there.

Then Harmon uttered those famous words we all have followed since that great mid 70's speech.

We'll honey, that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

There may be times when they want you to lie to them, but if you never do--and then one of those times arrives--when you tell them the truth they will actually believe without the merest shadow of a doubt.

I successfully lied out of all my baddies, and was cruxified for a couple that I was totally innocent on, so I guess it was like an OJ, it did not really matter which one did me in or not. Any one will do after a while. If they can't nail you on the ones you guilty on, they will still nail you on the next one that comes along. I think they love doing that to ya, cause they know your innocent, and that makes it more painful.
