    Ya'll might have seen this article:

    http://www.pinballnews.com/news/ballywilliams.html

    As a "damned yankee" who's been here since 1974, I'd like to explain the implications of this change:

    1. Whirlwind fan topper to be replaced by small A/C unit topper
    2. Monster Bash to be reissued as "Monster Truck Bash".
    3. "No Fear: Dangerous Sports" to be reissued as "Hey ya'll, watch this!"
    4. All speech ROMs will be modified to replace "Hello" with "Hey".
    5. Games will be certified for outdoor use, so we can keep them on the porch with our washers and dryers.
    6. Cabinet heads will be pre-drilled for a gun rack.
    7. New motto is "Bally/Williams: the pinball company too busy too hate".
    8. Camo-design legs will now come standard.
    9. Coin slots will now take Marta tokens.

    (disclaimer: I'm joking, and I kid out of love for my home state)
