1. Wow! How in the world did they even figure out how to

13. I wouldn't be surprised...
Probably had a little arc in it, too...to match the curve of the pool ball.

12. That's a great idea!
They need an old-fashioned variety show that puts a spotlight on unknown artists and quirky acts. :thumbsup:
