...Who beat you in the regular tournament?   Glen only beat me because of Johnny Mnemonic.   Next time, we will do it on MY turf... classic SS pins. Good luck!  

Quoted from Mrhide

the first time I meet Ian, I sold him his first machine ( Flash gordon)

I was away when he picked it up and packaged it all nice and ready to go.
He showed up with a VAN full of his wife stuff so he had to unpack the whole pinball to fit it in the van ... my wife still remembers him with that since it took him like 30 minutes in our driveway...

I still have that FG!!! Yeah... my wife is a respiratory therapist who does house calls... her van is even more full today with medical supplies. I have my own van now!

Is this turning into a roast? ... I love it! I should ask my wife to participate!

Look both of you lost... and for that matter it might have been Vengeance that kinda smelled like cat pee.

SS? I didn't see any tubes or relays in anything WPC over here.

Not that I need to make excuses, since I won when it counted    but kind of pointless to win my own tournament and prizes wouldn't ya think

I'd be at Mr.Hides place if you would just make the tournament on a Saturday.

First Time I met Ian was when the founding Members asked me to make them a simple site for MAACA.

First Time I met Ian was when the founding Members asked me to make them a simple site for MAACA.

Man, did I ever screw YOU over...  

Too bad Helge Dirschoweit isn't around... he would have told you all the story on how I loaded my first pin ever (Pacman pin) inside a 1998 Toyota Corolla... he was freaking out!

...it only took me 90 minutes to get it in!

The first time I met Ian, he said "Hi... (looks at my cat) Oh yeah, you have a cat, good thing I took my meds!"    he then proceeded to fix my ipac2 issue  .

...You forgot the nearly 2-hour chat!!! Had a great time... next time I will bring the cab back and we will have some fun! You all gotta see his SWEET gameroom!!! I may have the pins, but Loafer�s got the awesome game area... air-hockey... pool table... big screen... I say we trick him into buying some pins and have a meeting there!!!  

Yep, great chat and I got the chance to push my astronomy hobby on you too! .  Yep, the gameroom is coming along very well, and I'm OFFICIALLY starting to budget to buy my first pin.  In my house, there's 2 entertainment budgets: one for the family and one for me.  The PS3, since it plays BluRay's, that fell into the family budget (sneaky, eh), but the pin, I seem to be the only guy in the family who likes pinball.  One of my daughters used to enjoy Visual Pinball, but she's gotten out of the gaming phase completely, darn it, so I have to do this on my own, no support from the family at all .  When I get the pins, it will be my pleasure to host a meeting.

Does anyone have a "how to embezzle from the family budget for dummies" book they can lend me?
