Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Bilbo Baggins multiball wizard mode featuring music by Leonard Nimoy?!
» YouTube video

I did not know you were into LSD Panzer.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

LOL! Those are the type of videos you can find when doing random YouTube browsing at 2:00am, haha.

....on LSD.

Quoted from Squizz:

Hmm I still do not see why there are 4 flippers on the table?
The bottom 2 seem to be able to shoot every shot as it stands.
Or am I missing something.

Imagine a hurry up pointing you to shoot an orbit that leads back to an upper flipper then a "troll" or trap door pops up and you have to hit it with the upper flipper in time or you miss the shot. It seems clear to me.

Quoted from ek77:

Does anyone know if Jack has gotten the most important part of his company up and running the grunts you pay $15 to $20 dollars a hour for manufacturing. In all the factory tours or pics I could find there were never more then a few guys building games.With the Stern Williams and more the factories were full of workers.

1-The amount you assume the line workers make is likely lower than that.
2-It was not long ago that I made less than $15 in a skilled job related to automotive manufacturing and the like.
3-I can't speak for everyone, but I highly resent people referring to me or my fellow man as a grunt. Unless it is a term of endearment. ?
4-I agreed to my wage with my employer with the calculated understanding that experience and knowledge would lead to more opportunity and pay. I was correct.

5.Smiles to convey the message that I am not wishing you ill will.

Quoted from markmon:

What's wrong with the term "grunt"?
2.
informal
a low-ranking or unskilled soldier or other worker.
"he went from grunt to senior executive vice-president in less than five years"
Seems inoffensive. It's just a word.

I assure you, if you go out on the floor of any plant in my area and call someone you don't have a friendship with a grunt, they will consider you a real A-h...

Manufacturing is not the Marines (where the term originated)

#347 10 years ago
Quoted from ledge:

how many people they got working over at JJP?

Yes tell us all your vast knowledge.

#348 10 years ago
Quoted from ek77:

The point was not what to call the workers but the fact Jack needs more workers on the floor.

What is your manufacturing experience? There are obviously issues over there but your speculation on what they are is just that....speculation. I don't see what your point was in pointing out your speculation on their pay and calling them grunts. Oh well.

ek77 go back up and reread, ledge asked you how many people they had working there. I knew you had no ideas, so I was teasing you.

#406 10 years ago
Quoted from ledge:

obviously you havent got the answer chief.

You are correct. I have no idea how many workers JJP has.
