I got the call! Southwest Cues! -
04-22-2019, 06:41 PM
After placing my name on the list in 2005, I finally got the call from Laurie to begin designing my cues! I’m over the moon excited. Now I have to figure out what I want. Any suggestions?

My suggestion:
Spiraling up the butt of the cue you have the Southwest Cues version of the Bayeux Tapestry
Here’s a description from Wikipedia:
“The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth nearly 70 metres long and 50 centimetres tall, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England by concerning William, Duke of Normandy, culminating in the Battle of Hastings in 1066”
The real tapestry shows the Duke building an army in France, feeding it for months while waiting for the weather to change, almost getting lost while sailing across the English Channel, defeating Harold in battle, and being crowed King.
Your “Southwest Cues version” will show a young you putting your name on a list, finishing school, getting a job, getting married and having kids, quitting and restarting playing pool several times, qualifying for league Nationals, being knocked out of Nationals by a crazy scratch on fast cloth,...and then... receiving a phone call from Southwest Cues!

Just make sure it's a South West and not a Southwest!

Why? I'm sure he had another cue to shoot with and with no deposit what's the issue?
