I've often wondered why folks measure from the bumper up..
I guess most cues are around the same length
but if you're gonna measure bp
may as well take the whole cue into account

A billiard table is that richest of metaphors,
by turns a theatre, an altar, touchstone, gauntlet,
ritual ground, a gunfighter's high noon, a refuge,
a verdant landscape for balls to scatter and rest in meaningful synchronicity,
a classroom, a karma dance, mirror of moods, a guide and trusted friend...
