Confess that when I drink hard liquor (which is rare), I wake up the next day in a panic to see what I wrote in The Confessional. But I only edited this post because it was boring; nobody needs to hear about WW3.

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:We played a board game, Up Words.
It's ok @johnnypinball007, you are not alone...

Quoted from swampfire:Gonna hang back a while, but let’s have some “best of” pinball-related confessions. Playfields on fire, pinjuries, let’s go….search the history of this thread.
Oh I confess I have a hard drive littered with pinball destruction. Stuff we couldn’t give away back in 2010. What’s that weird game with a monitor and a pinball? Baby pac or something? Parted out cabinet destroyed and I’ve got the proof. Over a dozen populated playfields. Backglasses. Couldn’t sell them on Craigslist for $20
Pinball has changed a lot since then.
Quoted from Zartan:My first wedding ring cost me $3000
That’s cheap. I’ve heard some guys pay $300,000 to $400,000 minimum and then have to move back in with their parents.
Sorry folks! I treated it like it was an actual confessional! I confess I was pretty drunk! Not feeling well today!

Ya. The casino fraud stories were a lil surprising.. i mean, the trouser snake stories were pretty good too but dunno if they're as serious of repercussions with that. Please don't ever confess you're never drinking again! Good stuff!

A ring don't block a hole.. that would be foolish to spend that much! You could buy so many pins with that money! 
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:Ok, I have a real confession.
I hope this does not get me moderated.
I hope this does not get me kicked off of here or banned.
I confess the last 2 nights we did not play any pinball machines, or even any arcade games.
We played a board game, Up Words.
I really hope I do not get a whole lot of downvotes for confessing this, and permanently banned from here.
I do not know what I was thinking, and I can not promise that it will not happen again.
That's nothing. Check out my game room from my last house. This was all I had. I confess these machines almost went 2 years without being played. Seems like yesterday but so long ago.

“Never again”, I says to myself this morning. Feeling several quarts low.

I'm gonna step into "this" for the next 8 days straight on a fellas golf trip.

Quoted from prl867:My favorite song by Madonna is Crazy for You.
Madge...she is still pretty hot..at my age and everything but I’ll admit Martha Stewart is a stone cold fox.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Does this mean you aren't going to buy each of us a brand new pinball machine of our choice ?
Major bummer.

My brother is the laziest bastard. The wife and I spend 3 days slaving at my dad's prepping and cleaning his house for sale. We head home for a couple days. He goes out for a overnight visit. Not only did he do fukn nothing. He didn't take his pile of stuff I sorted for him. Got drunk and broke a glass shelf above the toilet which in turn broke the toilet. Now I have to drive 3 hrs, go to Costco, get a toilet and install it because he's a useless tool. I took his pile of stuff and threw it in the trash and going to send him the bill for the new toilet. What a fukn dumbass
I haven't played pinball in weeks. Too busy with other stuff. A friend of my wife's stopped by for happy hour last week and I watched her flip a few games. Was really impressed at her skills and reaction time. She didn't flip the flippers together at the same time and when I said to hit the ramp she did it. She hadn't played pinball since the 80s. And she's 60.
Quoted from prl867:It annoys me when people call them “pinball games” instead of pinball machines.
Better than calling pinball machines a table.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:She didn't flip the flippers together at the same time and when I said to hit the ramp she did it
I’m jealous. My wife has been around my pins for 24 years, and she STILL chimp-flips. I think she does it to piss me off.
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:Better than calling pinball machines a table.
That doesn’t bother me as much as when someone calls it a “toy”. No sir, toys are for children; pins are for men (and women).
Well, very sober and hydrated! I’ve said it before but I actually mean it this time, I’ll never get that drunk again!
Quoted from Zartan:Well, very sober and hydrated! I’ve said it before but I actually mean it this time, I’ll never get that drunk again!
Buy some of the nicer stuff to drink now.
That’s what I’ve been doing now that I drink hardly at all. You can afford the better stuff.
I like cheap beer. Why pay $2 a can for Canadian, Coors, Budweiser when I can pay a buck a can for Brewhouse which I really like. Costco sells 48 packs for $45 before deposit. So happy to see Costco carrying Brewhouse.
Won't drink cat piss like Luckys, old Milwaukee, etc... Leave that shit for the drunks

My wife likes to play both flippers together and she thinks having the flipper buttons pushed in all the time somehow prevents more ball drains and will trap the ball easier. I think I would rather sell my lone machine than do a flipper rebuild every 100 plays...
Quoted from punkin:I know a guy who thinks flipping the flippers make the pops work harder.
When I was a kid my dad told me to press both flippers at the same time during the match sequence to increase my likelihood of getting a match.
I confess I should have listened to my wife and not drove into a huge snowstorm in alberta today. Drove 50km/hr on pure ice, whiteout conditions around Camrose, AB for a hour to Costco by the airport. Sat dead still for 30 minutes on QE2 south by Mulhurst before going up a off ramp backwards and hitting some backroards with drifts up to my doors to get where I needed to be. Most stressful drive of my life. I walked into my dad's and said to my wife and dad, give me a beer, I'm going to smoke a joint and destress.

I don’t think you cook with string cheese

I caught up this morning and kept seeing Z. Was hoping it wasn't a statement about Russia. Now I see what the deal is. Wish I would've caught you live because we only got one qoute.
Confess that when a spend a weekend of nice days working on my pins, I feel like I’m not so different from Lenny in “The Butterfly Effect”.
(For those who haven’t seen the movie, he kinda loses his mind and just builds model airplanes all day every day).

I've always been impressed with the packaging guys at the toothpaste factory.
I mean they can fit 30% of the toothpaste in the last 5% of the tube. I get down to nearly nothing and then it lasts 5 more months.
But is it too much to ask that the breweries send some of their packaging guys over to Colgate?
How good would it be when you get down to your last two cans, to know they hold half a carton?
Quoted from dirkdiggler:I never sat in a gravity chair before today. Pretty comfortable. Feels a little like being in a dentist chair though
[quoted image]
I have a similar one and absolutely love it
Quoted from punkin:Don't all chairs rely on gravity?
I think what you're looking for is an anti-gravity chair 
Quoted from ForceFlow:I think what you're looking for is an anti-gravity chair
Yeah I forgot that magical word. Anti. I'm going to put it in my living room. Better than a couch
Great song from one of the few “perfect albums”, my son agrees:
“no one really cares for it at all…not the gravity plan”
This explains my model Gundam Collection
