“On a cloth untrue / With a twisted cue, / And elliptical billiard balls.”
William S. Gilbert
“They have a shot, but it's a nine-bank billiard shot and they have only one stroke of the cue to get it right. You need to get consensus from a firmament of major labels, independent labels, the publishers, courts, legislature, the peer-to-peer to companies, retailers and other actors. This is the ultimate, purest form of herding cats.”
Jonathan Spalter
“The tusks that clashed in mighty brawlsOf mastodons, are billiard balls.The sword of Charlemagne the JustIs ferric oxide, known as rust.The grizzly bear, whose potent hugWas feared by all, is now a rug.Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf,And I don't feel so well myself.”
Arthur Guiterman
“There was a big urn in the billiard room and it was black, but I wondered if it was brass.”
Betty Anderson
“The ceiling conforms to those elliptical guidelines. The ideal is no dead spots,”
Robert Mahoney
“Concrete is a very hard, dense surface that sound bounces off, almost like a billiard ball would bounce off a hard edge. Or if you think of a sound wave as a wave of water, it hits a wall and splashes back as an echo. Or if you think of a flashlight pointed at a mirror, that light would bounce right off and create a glare -- an echo is like an acoustical glare.”
Jack Randorff
“We already knew that powerful quasars are very efficient at making light. Now we know that black holes in elliptical galaxies are efficient as well. This suggests that being green is a trait that all black holes may have in common.”
