Hey baby, I love you so much I bought you this necklace and earrings made with burned out #44 bulbs! They're "vintage"!

I have been searching for evidence that the end of the world is nigh. Clearly, this is it. Good luck in the apocolypse everyone. Make sure you protect your pins.

Just my monthly search for 'pinball' on Etsy. I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet - ouch.

I've seen people turn used pinballs into the base for monkey fist knot keychains, which are heavy but look cool, but not anything with burned out bulbs. That's a bit weird.

If I clean up all my pinball crap from the milk crates under my machines I could put Tiffanys out of business

I clicked on the link to the etsy store. Unfortunate last name... I hope the emphasis doesn't fall on the "e".

Leave the tabby alone! He can't help it when he sees shiny metal things that make noise.

Besides, a 1/2 eaten sandwich sold on eBay. That is enough to convince me that there is a buyer for everything.

I'd be more impressed if they lit up. No sale.
