Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball.......

Been scouring the local Craigslist and Flea bay and found a machine for my garage/drive in man cave....So now when I smoke in the garage I also play pinball.....So it looks like more smoking but a touch less attention(for now) to flavor nuances.....

with apologies to the Who...."that deaf, dumb and cigar smoker sure plays a mean pinball" ............

There is a whole other world out there of pinball freaks...I have owned the Aztec for 24 hours and am already negotiating on another one or two.....Just what I needed, another slope.......

back in 1994 when I was in the army I was stationed in a small town called Middelburg and the base was really small, just 4 small platoons and used for education only. We were there for a course of a month and in the bar there was a 'creature of the black lagoon'. The highscore was by one of the staff and had been the highscore for years, so the owner of the record had a prize in the shape of a round of beer for the guy who broke his record.
All I can say I was pretty drunk at his expence one night

We used to have an Evel Kneivel machine when I was little, if I can ever find one that is in working order I will probably pick it up, used to play that game for hours.

Enjoy it, Charlie!
I am on Mr.Pinball and a couple other sites, just not very often. If you ever see a Satin Doll (Williams, 1972) or Pat Hand (Williams, 1975), for sale in the Midwest, let me know please.

Had one of these in the lobby when I went to college - spent so much time playing it one of my professors always stopped by to "remind" me class was starting. Good times...
