I rubbed my man sac on all of the plungers at MRP on friday night. I get the satisfaction of knowing that even though I suck at pinball, everyone else touched my junk juice

Just like when I caught you doing that at my house.

I lick all of the plungers for good luck, I wondered why they tasted like salt and hamburger meat.
Quoted from bangerjay:Just like when I caught you doing that at my house.
You mean just like when you showed me how to do it at your house!
My confession: I genuinely want to like ST, and I will give it every opportunity to impress me (e.g., by driving the four hours each way to Flippers to play it as soon as they have one). I wouldn't do that for anyone but Brother Steve.
I spent hours trying to figure out why the ball eject mechanism to the golie on World Cup Soccer wouldn't send the ball into the goal. I dropped the hairpin clip into the machine (never to be found again). I replaced the eject cam bracket, put it back together, and still no worky. Finally, after shocking myself several times (solenoids hold charge even if machine is unplugged), I noticed the cam was sticking. A few drops of light oil and whala! Much pain to discover the true problem. But, in the end, these issues produce perserverance; not going to give up until its fixed.
I paid 150 bucks for some sunglasses because my wife said old Ray Bans are hot and remind her of Tom Cruise in Risky Business. I guess I got the wrong ones because when I put them on she laughed at me and said I look like Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 
Also I think ST's pf art looks like p00 but I still am interested in it.
I left my daughters vollyball match before the third game to make a tourney yesterday. 
She has another tomorrow though so I don't feel TOO guilty.
Ok Erik,
As part of your full confession, I believe we need you to get your wife to take a pic of Lt. Erik Dangle w/ your cool sunglasses on and post it here.

Quoted from mickthepin:Man I was so pissed last night I don't remember going to bed. Father's Day lunch that extended Into the night. Think I am still boozed cause the hangover hasn't kick in properly.
Omg I laughed out loud. That has happened to me! Sometimes attract modes scares the hell outta ya.
Try hearing "hey you, with the face!" while staring at your pins at 2:30 am.
Quoted from bintzknocker:Once while changing lightbulbs on my Sorcerer, attract mode kicked in and yelled "SORCERER". It scared the crap out of me and I ended up throwing the bulb I was holding across the room.
Sorry...this is the quote that made me laugh out loud.
Before I discovered the pinside forum I used to think I was lucky to have 4 to 5 decent pinball machines. But after seeing the # of games and the quality of games most of the pinsiders seem to have I feel totally inadequate as a pinball collector. I definitely need to step up my game.
Don't any of you guys have a wife and kids? They take all my valuable pinball space! Can not wait till the kids graduate from college!
Quoted from Dbaum88:Sorry...this is the quote that made me laugh out loud.
Glad you enjoyed it. I laugh out loud whenever I think about it.
I had an endoscopy today and I enjoyed the Michael Jackson drugs so much (Propofol), I didn't go back to work.

Quoted from The_Gorilla:I contemplate resurecting olds threads just to see how many people I can piss off.
I wish Ebay would have an option to remove all Rubber Ring Kits, Roms, and Pinball Manual sales from the pinball parts listings.
--I've bought expensive parts to fix problems on machines and later found that the part didn't fix the problem... but that the fix was easy and cheap.
--The trashed coin door that's hanging on by the wire harness along the carpet, on the front of my RBION?
I may have been the one who trashed it 
HULK SMASH 
I can't slap a pinball machine to make the ball exit out of an orbit, making Iron Man & Family Guy impossible for me to play.
I think that 24 overshadows Star Trek (level 1 mission structure + additional Multiballs with super jackpot scoring)
I don't get all the hate for Shaq Attaq (sure the coach is the definition of hell but you can turn it off)

I sometimes bump my old threads.
I think Mustang is more fun than Star Trek.
I think the Raven translite chick is hot (the original, not the alternate).
My favorite pin is Genesis and I actually love the translite.
Proof...14 seconds in at LAX. I could be found at the game for hours and I was caught on camera.

If given the chance to buy an A-list pin for $100 or a Who Dunnit for $100, I would probably take the Who Dunnit. Just something about it I enjoy.
'Bonus Held' - what does that mean? I want my bonus now, not added later.
...sanity check... Mary Ann is still better than Ginger. Phew!
Quoted from chubtoad13:I've forgotten to take the balls out more than once before lifting a playfield
I don't remember the last time I remembered.
I work all the time so I could buy my pin collection.
They almost never get played cuz I'm either never home or exhausted.
Life. Wtf??
I don't play my games really, I turn them on, and marvel at their beauty, thinking
of all the work I have done on them, shopping, waxing, new ball's, rubber's,etc..... and while gazing into their
mesmerizing translites, playfields, am I even worthy of playing them.? not really...
I once saved a game from the trash dump. It was just about to be thrown off of the truck next to me when I intervened. I had it in the back of the truck heading home, and had to pull over and refresh my memory of what machine it was, I couldn't remember. All I could recall was the cabinet had a lot of pink in it. Turns out, it was a Gottlieb Counterforce.
I abandoned pinball in the early-mid 90s in favor of arcade games like SF2. I was part of the problem.
In the late 90s I'd regularly play a south park on location that was sitting between a TAF and TZ.
I used to play AFM on location at a laundromat in the 90s. I still look in laundromat windows to see if they have pins...
I once went to a conference for work and spent a disturbing amount of time in the hotel game room playing Space Jam.

There is a local dude that has been looking for one of those for the longest time
