Those of you who don't like my other enthusiasm can pretend this post isn't here. For those who do, this is a great match if you haven't seen it—Johnny Archer vs. England's Karl Boyes in the 2010 Mosconi Cup. Short (race to 6) but exciting, with some great shotmaking and lots o' dramatic tension.

What is Time? I dunno, but I just lost one Saturday-earth-hour of it down a Flubber-cushion-lined, vacuum-sucking black hole of a billiard table pocket this Saturday. Even the dog had to wait seven "dog hours" for his walk! (not true, i paused the game for him) Plus I'd swear that there were areas of anti-gravity in the slate. Somehow I mysteriously ended up on YT watching three exciting (no sarcasm) minutes leading to a Cue-off of a well played match, and I was hooked from there. The commentators very well knew the game and how to keep the peanut gallery interested. If there were such a thing as a Slam-Dunk in billiards (or nine ball or snooker or whatever the hell was being played there) there were several S-Ds here. The way the balls reacted in this match, i had suspicions of ths match being CG. I am not a rabid (avid?) fan of the game, but i thoroughly enjoyed watching this one. I'd like to say you now owe me one Saturday-earth-Hour, but I did watch this of my own free will, if I indeed have one ;-) BTW, +1 for a nickname of Guapo for a Pool-Player. This nickname sort of rivals one like "Minnesota Fats"....And +1 for the excellent videography of the match. Thanks for the tip, Mike.
