So I was at CP Pinball last night playing his many wonderful machines. In the midst of all the fun and glory, there was this shiny very well kept Funhouse sitting close to back corner of the rear building. I thought, ehh not really into the whole carnival thing but I've never played it so what the heck. Besides, it has two shooter rods!

Wow! I have to say I couldn’t pull myself away from it and it was the end of the night (for us at least) and the wife and child wanted to go. "Just one more game, please!" I begged my child who I didn’t want to abuse and cause him to develop a negative affliction to pinball. I snuck another game without them realizing my final ball drained and finally he blocked my access to the game.

I had more fun with this title that evening than any others there for some reason, even worked up a bead or two of sweat playing it. Man I'd love to own one now. Woke up this morning and checked out the Mr. Pinball ads and there is a guy up in Chicago with a nice one for 2250. But, alas both the wife and child said no way. Even pulled threats if I did buy it. They say Rudy creeps them out and they don’t want him in the house! I'm like, he's just a mechanical doll head, he's not going to get out and kill you or anything. My argument went unheeded. I guess I won’t ever own that title. Bummer.

Your right. I just seen the Mr Pinall ad and he describes it as nice. The CL ad paints a different picture.

The blocking move caught on camera. CP is a fun place for pinballers, anyone that gets in the STL area should check it out. Thats just the back building, the front building has many more machines.

True, and further evidence that I'd make a terrible lawyer. I tend to say it how it is too often and completely miss out on a perfectly good opportunity to spin or sugar coat my words.

However, she said "what if he sprouts arms and legs?” in response. So the thought was already there in this case.
