Some clarifications provided below for some of you brain dead pinball fanatics:

When you finally notice you wife is not speaking to you and not making eye contact,
...and you say: Honey, is there something wrong? You seem quiet since I brought home those 3 old beat up pinball machines.
...and she says: No
...then you say: Are you sure? I'm gonna get them fixed over the winter. Really, what's wrong?
...and she says: Nothing

When you say: Honey, since we barely use the living room, is it ok to clear out the living room so I can set up my other pinball machines that are in storage?
...and she says: Go Ahead

When you say: Honey, I'm planning to throw a big 2-day pinball party to play pinball and watch football bowl games from Dec 31st to Jan 1st. If I make you a list, will you go to the grocery store and to Walmart to get the food & drinks and other stuff for the party?
...and she says: Whatever

When you say: Honey, I know you can't stand Ritchie, because you think he's a prick and an as$hole, but I said he can stay at our place for a week while his sister and her kids are staying at his place while visiting.
...and she says: That's okay.

When you say: Honey, you'll never guess what happened today. I was trying to get my Hobbit pinball machine down the steps by myself, and I slipped, and took out the bannister and put a hole in the china cabinet you got from your Grandma.
...and she says: Wow!
