Aug 15, 2024 · Witness protection. Hiding out from debt collectors, a cue maker that has owners cues for years, etc. Speaking of witness protection, I fell into the trap of watching some flat earth stuff on youtube. They claim humans have never been to space. One of their "proofs" is that all of the Challenger disaster astronauts are all alive and well ...
Aug 25, 2024 · R42, yes! You're right--I was thinking of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Thank you for your kind correction! Billy Gray was truly wonderful in it, gave a very natural and intelligent performance, unlike so many child actors who seem like Charlie McCarthy, so stilted and mechanical. He deserved a prosperous adult career; not sure what happened ...
Aug 30, 2024 · CutreCon — which will hold its 14th edition next year between February 5 and 8 — shines a spotlight on trashy movies, the films made with lofty intentions that fell apart in production and became unwitting parodies. With audiences keen for different cinema experiences, these movies are winning over a passionate legion of fans, filling ...

He was very well known as a tough, gritty player on the barbox. Good athlete in hs and played scratch golf as well. Anyone that's played in Oklahoma or around the Midwest probably knows ...
Feb 6, 2015 · Bowie is a fantastic artist and a trail blazer. He pushed his gender presentation in extreme and amazing ways. Those images of him from the seventies still look fresh and avant-garde. Who cares what his orientation was. God knows he didn't give a shit if people thought he was queer. by Anonymous.
Feb 26, 2009 · Feb 26, 2009. #10. I bought a Josey cue back in 2000 and fell in love with it. It has a great stiff hit. A few years ago I had a chance to pick up another one (one of his Sneaky Petes) and have used it for a break cue. Some people say it is overkill for a break, but you can't beat the Josey cue for any purpose.
Aug 9, 2024 · Go down to the airport and top off the tank (after putting ten gals of Sunoco 260 in it) w cessna fuel at 160 octane or some shit. Then we headed for the straight strips of Earth City. Perfect 1/8ths and 1/4ths (Quarters.) Many a title changed hands there over the years!! Uh oh. I'm doing the old man reminiscing thing again. Better grab my meds ...
Jun 30, 2024 · Member. So yesterday, a bungee cord gave up on me, and my cue case took a tumble off the luggage rack of my Harley at 60-65 mph. The only casualties (aside from my heart rate & blood pressure) were one corner and part of the zipper on the small, top outside pocket. It’s a bit scuffed, but still functionally perfect.
