That is a great thread. I really enjoy perusing it from time to time.

Here's one of my faves. It is of Golden Cue in Albany, New York. The tournament has ended.

Keith won the tournament, and it was time for us to drive home, about a 5.5-hour drive.
We were walking out to our car, getting ready for the long trek, hoping to get a little daylight
driving time before night fell.

Something caught Keith's eye, and he returned to the front window of the pool room, clutching his trophy,
peering inside one last time. He was actually contemplating whether he should stay or not,
watching Kid Delicous counting his cabbage. To leave or not to leave, that's the question! :D

This one here shows what a little imagination can do. These poor souls are in
a Palestinian refugee camp, making do with what they have available,
and they managed to play some pool to help pass the time, I guess. :)

This is the kind of equipment that Jose Parica, Efren Reyes, and all the rest
of our Filipino bretheren of players used to hone their pocket billiard skill. They used to
play 15-ball rotation on inferior tables, ripped cloth, uneven balls, et cetera.

It is no wonder that when they came to the States, they ruled the pool world
when only had to run out to 9 playing 9-ball rotation on pristine equipment. ;)

This shot was in Cebu, Philippines.

Just another day at Hung Chow's open air pool room.

1. Guy on far right says. "I hope no one can smell that."
2. The two guys at the next table are John Schmidt and Danny Harriman.
3. The guy sitting on the third table is thinking about asking the guy on the fourth table if he plays One Pocket.
4. A table down from there, one chick tells the other. "I think that humpback guy in the leather jacket is kinda cute." "Ewww!" Says her friend.
5. The guy in the white hat says. "Okay, who ordered the Chicken-gui with egg roll?"
6. The guy standing in front of the blue door is Waldo.

That's cool as hell Mr. Steamer. I had to make a rare sojourn to az whatever to go through many pages of the poolroom pics. Re the guy sitting on the third table. The first room I ever hung in after the YMCA was run by a man named Peg. If he saw you sitting on the table like that, the first time you would get a stern warning and the second time he would swing that thick hard wooden rack against your kneecap almost as hard as he could. I promise you could not walk right for awhile after he hit you. And if you acted like you wanted to bow up, he would whack you across the head with the thing. YET if you had a shot where it was necessary to get up on the table, no probem. He said it broke down the rails to sit on them or something like that. Oh yea. He had a big german sheppard that stayed in there with him too and of course a 38 cal smith. I think every single person I knew had a 38 colt or S&W back then. Accept no substitutes. Now there are so many fine choices of good handguns. Better grab a few up before we lose the right to buy one......................
