    Quoted from zarco:

    Wish I could capture some of the looks non-pinball (boring)
    people give us when they see a house full of pinball machines
    for the first time.
    Yeah, they think we're bonkers. Visit some of these folks homes
    and their places are *empty*, often having a huge TV, couch
    and little else. Methinks that is a dismal existence.

    Hell, I thought I was bonkers when I was looking for an empty space for #2 pin. And hit me. I had been sleeping on the couch for several years and go to sleep to the big screen. Feeling bonkers became history as I gave the mattress to the Salvation Army, converted the dresser and chest of drawers in to parts cabinets. I also decided I did not want to inherit my mom's china hutch loaded with what-nots.

    I now have 8 pins shoveled in and everything seems perfectly normal The only thing to look at are some pictures on the wall. Everything else has some sort of manual function going on.

    Granted, Tim Pierce, is selling guitar tutorial services, instead of raking out a few chords, and maybe this is an office but I think it is his living room.

    Pins are no different than a couple of guitars and a drum kit filling a room. And then we have the model train guys. Model railroading can be an isolated hobby. You have the lone golfers or fishermen out in quite solitude. Anything can be a solitary hobby. And pinball parties get a lot of social action going on.
