    Re: Time to update the old roll call —Bram Lambrecht
   (...) Well, I've always liked playing pool, but never played much. Recently, my brother decided to purchase a small table (about 3x6 feet--only $50), so now I play almost every day :) I'm getting better... --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.people)
   
        Re: Time to update the old roll call —Jasper Janssen
     (...) 3*6 feet tables are nice in terms of storability and affordability, but it would seem to me that there would be very few hard shots on such a thing.. am I right? Myself, I'm more into throwing sharp pointy things at simulated beer-barrel tops, (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.people)
    
         Re: Time to update the old roll call —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Well, for pub games, foosball can't be beat. Nor can I when I'm playing it. At least not by 99% of the population. But I do like darts. I used to keep a set AT the pub that we went to a lot (they have a cubby there for regulars to keep darts (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.people, lugnet.loc.uk)

          Re: Time to update the old roll call —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) Table football, yes. Real, that is, soccer. (one of the balls on my table at home is actually a little plastic soccer ball...) (...) I don't have a dartboard at home but I do have more than one set of darts. If I want to practice I go to my (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.people, lugnet.loc.uk)
     
          Re: Time to update the old roll call —Jasper Janssen
      (...) You lay your balls on the table? Ewww. (...) Ah.. so my guess is, you don't practice very often? (...) A bit of practice, and you'll be shooting ton-plusses regularly.

        Re: Time to update the old roll call —Mike Poindexter

         Re: Time to update the old roll call —James Brown
      (...) Bzzzt. 7x14. It wasn't a modern snooker table, 'twas an antique.
