Quoted from Beechwood:Not sure if you heard, but he knows people. Pinball people.

I have pepperoni, 2 or 3 times a week. There is lots of locations the boys are seen at. Living most of my life here, I know almost all the locations the show was filmed at.
John, as a tourist what should I do up there? May head up in a few weeks.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:What really piques my curiosity is the distinction of those with $10K cash as "mini whales."
How hard up to you have to be to think that having $10k on hand makes someone a mini-whale?!
$10k won’t even buy that new fem-pin from JJP.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Plan A July, Plan B August, or Die September 1 this year. Do not know how to explain the end date any easier than that.
Could you provide a project road map?
Quoted from greatwichjohn:I will say it again for my big supporters here. NO MONEY is coming my way.
Will the money be put in escrow then?
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Project dies from the TPB & their licensing company before the build start..
Will you be pitching a "Plan B" license if TPB decline?
Quoted from FrankJ:I think you need a plan C- get a job and do it yourself. You speak of your meager retirement check. Get off the keyboard, out of the tavern, and earn it like the rest of us whales, mini whales, and wannabe whales.
The irony is that if we all took our time that we have spent in these whale threads and billed it out at the rate we get for our real careers we could finance the 100k if not more!
Quoted from iceman44:Go big or go home.
Guy has no quit in him.
Good guy with a big heart.
Whether he makes it or not, I’ll applaud his efforts.
It’s kind of like Tommy Boy or Animal House. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no.
They underestimated Tommy Boy too.
You can take a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:which is why he doesn’t really have any investors. Until they pay something, they are interested parties only. Until they sign a contract to pay on milestones, it is strictly voluntary. Damn it GWJ, collect some $ and get these investors invested. Until then it is all pie in the sky and doesn’t exist.
I’d go with trailer park girls, mud wrestling girls or Hoes from NYC. Make my dreams come though.
Actually I think a raunchy retheme kit would be more realistic and scalable.
Quoted from mof:inline drops for the nazi biker gang, with some magic option that can drop them all if you get Clyde riled up by pounding the dreaded lockdown bar button. OH yeah.
Maybe it should be based on pounding on the glass.

Quoted from greatwichjohn:Said the game will be a pro style game. Did not say the era but it will be electronic. The budget is $10k US for each game. Some stuff will have to go to keep the BOM reasonable.
Will you be voicing the call outs?
Quoted from jwilson:I like how the game has gone from being a Stern Pro level machine to basically a 70s Bally SS. Things not exactly working out as planned - because there was never a plan.
At this point the theme doesn’t even matter. How “adult” can it be with no screen? It’s basically Whoa Nellie and we all know what a sales monster that was.
Pretty soon it will be flipperless.
Quoted from benheck:"I've just opened beer #5 at 1:30 on a Tuesday. As far as rules go, that is something my Coach is going to have to discuss with my Whale-Pod crew. There is a guy at the bar who says he knows FORTRAN, I am thinking he will be able to program this game in a day or two, so that goalpost will be moved to February 29th"

Du Hast!

Quoted from Beechwood:You just let us assume there was one this whole time?? We are collectively shocked at this revelation!
Haha thanks for the laugh tonight.
Quoted from dr_nybble:John starting to give as much as he gets! Enjoy the bacon $$ I sent you.
Who would throw in on a cured meats pinball machine? Bacon, Prosciutto and Capocollo themed. Mod Couple could make a Slim Jim shooter rod mod.

Quoted from greatwichjohn:It is a average of beer per day. Some days I have zero for days, or like today 9. Here is a picture of some of the stuff, & I had too many beers today & calling it a night. The coach responded that the artist is standing by when I am ready.

Quoted from greatwichjohn:Had a bad reaction with a brownie, so only second hand smoke for me. Saturday is a slow time for the bus system, so had the scenic routes. Had to hit 2 Sobeys to get a deal. Breakfast & Lunch meals. Bread is super dry, washed the breakfast one down with senior McD coffee. Do some playfield work later today. The coach sent in the next $1k US for Pinball Life order.

Quoted from ultimategameroom:Why is Bud so expensive in Canada? That’s almost double the cost where I’m at.
It’s imported?
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Had KFC value meal tonight, that they do not advertise (less than $7, get a can of pop since the fountain is out of order).
What else comes with it?
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Back from the bar, had 5 beers.
If I had that many beers I’d running to the bathroom. I’m more of a hard alcohol guy.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:The cabinet will be built locally. Had no beer so far today, just played some pinball & hot dogs with root beer for free. Beer count was pretty high Friday night on fresh beer there & another 2 at the social. The operator is in a bad mood today, & I have to move some more stuff into my area.
What brand of hot dog do you gravitate toward?

Quoted from greatwichjohn:Flipping whitewood before xmas. I do know how to do contacts & connectors contrary to what people think.
Anything special planned with the Misses for Christmas?
