Graduation Present!

RandomSkater · 01-21-2006, 02:29 PM

So a couple months ago my mom asked me what I would like for a graduation present.
Since my sister got a baby grand piano, I quickly came to theconclusion that I wanted a pool table.

Yesterday my mom was like "I feel like doing something, you want to go out?" and then I was all like "hey, I know! Let's go looka t pool tables" and it turns out she was thinking the same thing.

After about an hour and a half of talking about stuff with the guy at the pool place we ended up ordering the table.

My dream table is a 8 foot Brunswick Billiards "Highlander" in cherry.
I'm not sure what color cloth I'm gonna choose yet, when the table comes in we're gonna go in and look at how the cloth looks on it.
I'm thinking either the "regular" green or red.
We also got the Brunswick "Centennial Pack".
It comes with the following:
Instructional DVD
Centennial Pocket Balls
Four Centennial Cues (two-piece)
Two-Piece Short Cue
Two-Piece Bridge Stick
Brass Bridge Head
Wood Eight-Ball Rack
Wood Nine-Ball Rack
Table Brush
Twelve Pieces of Chalk
Official BCA Rule Book

I will DEFINITELLY have pictures when we get it in!

Oddly enough....it doesn't seem to be a real popular retirement sport. Maybe it takes too much hand - eye coordination! HAHA!

Nothing says 'Time to get the h*ll out'....much better than luggage!

Well, since I'm only 17, I'm planning on taking a year off to work, work on my piloting stuff and decide where to go for college.
Depending on where I go, I may be living close to my mom. If not she's gonna keep it wherever she is.

Did they attach a wealthy guy to marry to the luggage as well? 8O 8O

Something to do with aviation, probably aeronautical engineering.
If I don't do that, I'll probably go for a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) license.
