If anyone could please explain why that cue stick on the far right of the others, seems to be hanging in midair by itself, defying the laws of gravity, it would be appreciated.

That GIF is a fake. The egg would have broken after hitting the cue ball.
That gif is real, that really happened. There is a chicken out there somewhere that is one heck of a pool player, and you'll never convince me otherwise!
I used to play in a billiards league, and was fairly decent; I won the majority of the time.
I once played against Steve Mizerak. I was stationed at Columbus AFB in Mississippi in the mid-1980s and he came to the base rec center one weekend. I played two racks against him; he broke the first rack and ran the table. He let me break the second rack. Nothing fell for me on the break, so he came up and ran the table again.
I was at my LCS yesterday. Wasn't really shopping, just shooting the s with the owner and his son. He had a little tray with random token, coins, things and this was in there for some reason. A chip from the 2002 8 ball championship in Vegas. I immediately thought of this thread and for some reason decided to grab it. If for any reason this would mean something to any of you or look good on your desk, shoot me a message and I'll send it to you. I don't collect these but, like I said, felt compelled. 😂😂
Fun Fact: Not one, but FOUR 90s sitcoms had a pool hustler episode, and three of those four were TGIF ones. They are: Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, and Fresh Prince.

The massé, most fun shot to pull off in a crowded hall.
Cbeck out the spin on this ball.

The correct term is “English” ? I think?

Ah yes, I couldn't remember what it was called! 😂😂

I don’t believe you for a second, Steve.
How could you even possibly know that it was the eggs turn to break?

Jeanette Lee, "The Black Widow", has been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer and has less than a year to live:

She apparently has also been dealing with crippling pain from scoliosis that may have delayed diagnosis of her cancer.
Oh and that's a bad miss!

Interesting ultimatum on Carl Winslow's part...either allow me to play stripes, or YOU will get stripes!
