They do.

When Gottlieb remade it as SS Pinball Pool, they also stay down, but you can reset them during the ball by getting in the upper kickout holes, which scores the bonus and resets the drops, and also leaves the bonus multiplier where it is. If you can keep the ball going long enough you can rack up some points that way.

They also used that "remotrip" on it, which drops the corresponding target on the other side. I don't like that feature and I disabled it on my game.

What you did to those ribs is blasphemy in these parts...

Great looking Surfer, though, congrats

You can still be a BBQ guy in SoCal. You don't need much.

Low and slow, indirect heat and don't sauce them until you take them off. Mop them in the last hour or so, but you want to be careful using sauce to do that, it can burn due to the high sugar content. Also, sauce can soften and remove the bark, and great BBQ is all about the bark. 3 to 4 hours on the smoker for ribs. Charcoal is ok to use, the real stuff (lump hardwood) is far superior to the "K" product. Just use that and some good hickory chunks early on in the process and you're on your way.

It's pretty simple.

The Devil's Spit sauce is pretty good stuff. Famous Dave's is ok for chain BBQ, we actually have it here. But it's pretty far down the list of places I'm going to go to get BBQ. If I'm somewhere else that doesn't have good stuff, I can go there though.

There's a general rule about BBQ places.

If you can't smell it when you drive up to it, just keep on going.

When is the weather ever bad in SoCal? And I was under the impression that it doesn't ever rain anyway. So eat some barbecue!!!

This place in KC used to be mainly outdoors, but it's kind of cold here in the winter. They started out selling wood to places, then decided to make their own Q.

I don't think I've ever seen a drop of rain any time I've been out there. Clouds in the morning, yes. But no rain.

My brother in law who lives in LA confirms that people there don't drive very well once the first drop of rain hits the windshield.

I eat at Dreamland every time I'm in Birmingham. It's not bad, but it just can't compare to Arthur's. Problem number one is they don't slow smoke the ribs, they grill them. They're not bad, but again, not much bark or smoke ring and without those, it's just not the same. But it's decent barbecue.

Jack, where in the world do you drive 75-80 on LA freeways? Nowhere in LA that I've ever driven. You couldn't do that on the 405 at 3 in the morning.

Well, I guess when you get further down south on the 5 or further up north you can do it, but in LA proper, I go faster on the city streets.

Texas is really good at brisket. Too bad they don't know how to do all the other good stuff...

It is great stuff. As I've gotten older, I've gravitated more to pork, though. I haven't had a beef sandwich in awhile.

Strangely, I really enjoy beef ribs. The big ones that look like Fred Flintstone at the drive in kind. Most people around here just eat pork and a lot of places don't have beef ribs.
