Great to see a lot of new faces and old faces I haven’t seen since 2019.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Congratulations on the 50th Lloyd!
Thank you for all your help to everyone throughout the years.
Definitely. Lloyd is the man. I’m really bummed that I couldn’t make it out. Next time. And I’ll bring a nice bottle of single malt scotch.
Now let’s see some of those high (low) scores being set so we can mock them here on Pinside.

My first game on Dr. Who
Part of the video I just uploaded on Pinball Outpost doing a quick walkthrough when I got there at 2:30 forgot to change my camera from 720 to 1080 but you get the idea.

You've always been a class act and ambassador to the hobby. Please know how much you are appreciated and respected.
Go easy on the cheese pump tonight. We want you around for another 50.
Cheers.

The cheese pump is what got him this far. Stopping now is not a good thing LOL!
Quoted from RVH:Thanks again Lloyd for all you’ve done for pinball and the pinball community.
Mmmm sweet sweet cheese pump!

It's because of you Lloyd...I'm hell-bent to get a cheese pump.

Congrats Lloyd! Only been on this forum a couple years, but I appreciate the tips you’ve given me. All the best to you!
Congrats on the 50th LTG! Wish I could've been there(I have friends that live only about 20 miles away from Hopkins that I could've stayed with, too!).
Also, I knew you were a good guy already, but it makes me even happier to see your choice in mustard! I love Plochman's! I tried it once and I was hooked. I think I'm the only guy in my city that has it or even knows about it. Nobody really sells it out here on the west coast so when my mom(who lives in Florida) comes to visit, I make her bring me a few bottles of it. I'm always curious to know what the TSA folks are thinking when they scan her checked luggage.
Quoted from LTG:Ribs gone, mugs gone, pizza gone. Pinball still going strong !
LTG : )

Proof that pinball is a renewable resource!
Congrats on 50 years, Lloyd! (Too bad I’m not still in Eagan, or I would have been there.)
Congratulations Lloyd!
Even as someone just getting into the hobby it is immediately apparent to me what a dedicated, valuable and appreciated resource you are for the community.
In retrospect, part of me wishes I would have chatted with folks more, but the introverted side of me apparently won out. Had a great time playing, though!
Congrats and thanks again!
Quoted from LTG:Todd has many articles in the older Pinball News, Learn How It Works, section.
Took me awhile to figure out how to find the old site but here it is:
https://www.pinballnews.com/learn/index.html
(had to figure it out last month in the middle of a debate on which tournament game was at expo 2000. So glad he kept the old site archived it's neat to look at the turbulence in the expo reports around the turn of the millennium)
Quoted from LTG:You beat me to it. Todd did a nice write up of the event.
Todd has many articles in the older Pinball News, Learn How It Works, section.
LTG : )
That was a good article. Love hearing the chronological history of SS Billiards. Some hardships, and some good times.
Congrats again Lloyd. I’ll be out to hang at some point and have a glass or two of scotch, play some games and chat it up.
