Who wants to break first?

Let Cue up a great show!

Thanks to Josh Myers in WN for the subject and questions.

The term 'poolroom' now means a place where billiards is played, but in the 19th century a poolroom was a betting parlor for horse racing. Billiard tables were installed so patrons could pass the time between races. The game of billiards and the poolroom became connected in the public's mind. Today, the two terms are used interchangeably.  

What do you know, Joe?

Last Post Answers: Royale with Cheese In fact it's actually just a "Royale Cheese" - there's no "with". See how travel broadens the mind.
