Heck, I like cruising pawn shops now & then. It's fun. Picked up a McDermott cue & case. I thought I'd use a a trunk cue. Translation: A cue cheap enough that you carry it in your car, don't care about potential warpage damage. Bought it for $100. Then cleaned the ugly red chalk mess off the shaft, had John at the cue ball put on a lepro tip for $7. A plain Jane cue, made in the early 80's.
Cindy played with it once. Declared it to have a great hit.
Now I need to look around a pawn shop, see if I can find a trunk cue.
