    Maybe add "Hagler" to the thread title?

    Just to save any momentary confusion and alarm when silly people like me assume you are going to tell us that Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum is closing! I haven't made it over there yet!

    Be fair, that would have fit in with the website, anyway.

    I will forgo my opinion of "the sweet science."

    Still, RIP Mr. Hagler.

    Quoted from rockrand:

    I thought Marvin’s Marvolus closed,wow

    Yeah, OP thoughtfully refuses to add Hagler to the thread title as I suggested he might. Such a swell guy.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said "momentary confusion and alarm," and I was not the only one to initially misinterpret.

    In most cases, his last name was invoked along with that appellation.

    This is a pinball board, ya know. If someone says Marvelous Marvin, they are more likely to think of Marvin's than of some aged boxer, unless maybe they had already learned of his passing.

    And guess what? If you google Marvelous Marvin, it even asks at the bottom of the page if you were looking for MMMM.

    Deliberately not making such a reasonable fix is, like I said, real swell.

    I apologize for the "swell" thing. For all I knew he hadn't noticed my request.

    As for the original request, it was not unreasonable, garnering six upvotes to one down. Marvin's is coin op Mecca! You have to go at least once in your life. I thought everyone knew.

    Try googling Marvelous Marvin -Hagler (which means exclude Hagler).

    Thanks for changing it, despite my sarcasm. Us old timers can take only so many jolts. I knew you could figure out how, unlike some!
