>>145815160alri. Thanks for making the thread. I was sure Polebro would finally do it but, in the end, I had to celebrate Ding dinging Milkins all by myself last night.
Anime.This is >us when a thread is archived, so it's obviously /sp/ related.

>>145815508Actually, I was just about to do it while Ding was still playing, literally JUST about to. Alas, suddenly the disappearance of the thread reminded me of the passage of time.This in turn made me realize that we're only Mark Selby, 1 month away from Christmas (strange when you remember that we just had Christmas ~4 months ago).So I was distracted by the thought about presents. Decided to immediately look for some, because there's no time like the present(s) after all. Starting with myself, obviously.So I spent 4 hours looking for rare Hakos. Bought 5, then couldn't buy more because of an error, which absorbed me further (a dude from my bank just called as I was typing this, my card was automatically blocked, should be able to buy more now).Then I noticed it was 2:00, so a bit too late to make a thread. Then I slept for nearly 5 hours, tried buying more Hakos again but couldn't, and before I could make a thread, it was already here.This is a true story.
I just paid 15 euroshekels for a Hako literally cut out from a magazine. I'm done looking for presents.>Bai destroys in an hour>two minks destroy in an hour (one another)>Ng destroys in an hour>Roof destroys in four hours>Selby destroys in ten hoursShould be a fun day.
>>145816955>>145817351As a man with Mercari and Yahoo auctions tabs always open on the same searches, I admire your dedication to the ‘tism. I’m sure there’s someone in Japan who buys Steve Davis clippings off eBay, so it’s obviously sp related.
>I'm done looking for presents.Is what I said. However...>>145817656I browsed all stores they have on Buyee, even the "Korean Market", just in case.
Snooker
>>145818534Even better than just snooker. Text snooker:>https://snookerscores.net/scoreboard/match/ea8dc9b5-b645-4780-a770-19e8ab65cc3d>https://snookerscores.net/scoreboard/match/80c32e64-ff3a-4c41-9641-34a2566730b3GO ON THE GIRLS
Bai: INPic related. It's a full snooker match in its pure, unfiltered form. Read from the bottom, obviously.Minks: pendingEither the site stopped working, or it got VERY zesty, because it's still 0-0. Probably the former, but I hope it's the latter.
>>145818923In the future, WST won't even need magnets. The scriptwriters will just produce a document like this, feed it into AI, and the match will be generated, complete with AI Willie Thorn and AI Shorn Murphy commentary (Shorn will still be alive at this point, but he will have sold the rights to his voice to WST as an example of being "great ambassador" for the sport).
>>145818960>Shorn will still be alive at this pointA grim vision of the future indeed.
Sophie didn't destroy...>>145816955>>145817656>>145818923I love you little autists (no homo)
ref forgetting to re-spot the yellow gave Murphy the chance to engage in his famous banter, thus relaxing him going into the final frame.Zhao should be reinstated.

Is this the most handsome match in snooker?

Should have played for snookers. Only up to 4 needed.
Something to watch during the interval. A highly prestigious snooker event:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C4qU5bVmG4
Are YCPs allowed to play each other
>>145827629>no referee and the other player has to fish the balls outThat's some "Gibraltar Open 2020" level of prestige
>>145827772Where I come from, we call it "SOVL".
Anybody else notice Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips had ALL the top players on except Selby? I think they Selby hates Hendry

I don't know what to do. There are pretty much no posters with Hako and this one is especially great, because it's a debut poster. I'll probably never see it again if I don't buy it.But... It's expensive, full of wrinkles, tiny cuts etc. (nearly 50 years old), plus they can't just fold it and put it into an envelope. If they rolled it up, the package would be of a non-standard size, so it's likely they won't be able to send it together with the other things I ordered, so I'd have to pay again for shipping. Because of the size (~73x52cm), the shipping price could potentially reach some retarded numbers for all I know. I only ever ordered flat, easily stackable things after all. And then I can't just say "okay, then, I changed my mind", they don't do refunds. You pay for the shipping or they "dispose" of things you bought.But it's so beautiful...Someone should decide for me, so I can blame them. If I had the time, I'd make a poll, but I need to get my 4.5 hours of sleep soon.Other than that...B O 3
>>145830601If it's any comparison, I passed up an opportunity to buy a rare Joy Division demo track for like 150 euro and have regretted it every day since. It depends on if it's the specific item you want or the content (Hako on your wall)
>>145830170Bo11 should be the minimum.
more like Back LiPOWski
Selby? More like Shellby, because he's a just shell of a player.

>>145830601Can you ask the seller if they can do you a deal? I emailed a record shop in Hungary to see how much it would cost to buy lots of old Hungarian pop music from the 1980s (pic related; she's the GOAT), and they were very helpful. In the end, I got something like 30 records for £100 + £40 P&P, but I forget the numbers because they were all in Hungarian forints.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pD-d9B1q-E
>Lisowski v CarterRoofbros are feasting
Watching Selby now and remembering the old days of SELBYWINSLOL is like watching Wolverine in Logan.

>losing to a player who has 0% chance of winning the tournament

>>145831851I love how the commentators are fully in on the meme as well. Everything they say about Jack Lisowski is about what a legendary choker he is.
>>145831940Makes me laugh everytiem
>>145827001>
Can see now why he's the Jester, losing to Jegg is very funny.
>>145832298Come now. "Day of the" Jack L specialises in winning in the early rounds. That's why he's been hyped for his whole career. It's only later rounds, and finals specifically, where he crumbles into nothing and any of us could beat him.
