Support Your Local Poolhall...Please.

Summertime is the worst season of the year for those fine small businesses that cater to those of us in the pool playing community. People are fishing, golfing, doing yardwork & things on the honey-do list, while your friendly neighbourhood poolroom is mostly empty and trying to survive the summertime blues.

Kids today with the Xboxes, PS3s, IPods, cellphones and other gizmos have too many other distractions that have taken them away from our beloved game. The doldrums that effect the game today can only be cured with your support, the pool playing community by its self is not large enough to keep the rooms afloat without the general public's help.

With friends like this...who needs enemas?

A MAN rammed a pool cue into the rectum of a drunken friend with such force it snapped off, leaving 31 centimetres stuck inside his bowel, the Tasmanian Supreme Court in Hobart has been told.

Mr. DJ, would you please play me a song

and dedicate it to Elizabeth Edwards. I wanna hear Tangerine by Led Zeppelin and Homegrown by Neil Young. While you're at it play Almost Cut My Hair by Crosby Stills Nash & Young and dedicate it to John Edwards...

So I hear tell that 'lizabeth Edwards may never eat another tangerine because they have to be transported to the area she lives in. Apparently in her mind this will help slow down "global warming". But my question is; will Johnboy stop flying "that guy" across the country to trim his fearsome locks. 'Cause if he don't...she'd have to not buy an awful lot of tangerines to offset that jet fuel.

I'd like to help her out but I just can't do without my (British) Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea. That and the English Breakfast Tea and the Spiced Chai. Lipton will never do.

Did they search the freezer?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal agents searching the Alaska home of Republican Sen. Ted Stevens appeared particularly interested in cases of wine stored in the senator's house, an attorney briefed on the raid said.

Investigators photographed the cases and the individual bottles Monday along with other items from Stevens' home as part of a public corruption investigation that stretches from Alaska to Washington.

Stevens, 83, is under a federal investigation for his relationship with Bill Allen, an oil field services contractor who was convicted this year of bribing state lawmakers. Stevens was aware for some time that investigators wanted to search the house, the attorney said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.
