Quoted from Boof-Ed:Whenever I'm doing my daily scroll through pinball for sale ads and my wife asks me what I'm doing I say "just looking at porn dear!" So she doesn't think I'm going to get another pin.
Great idea!!! I'll try that one this weekend!

Here's my confession...my girlfriend bought me my last pair of shoes....and my last 2 pinball projects

A confession....Over the decades, I've done some shamefully hackful repairs and did it KNOWINGLY....I was ashamed of myself then and more so now; but....it wasn't on ANY of my equipment (I never would!). Cheap ass employer who cut every corner possible and never bought new parts. Would rather have me wire nut a cut off used connector or solder direct to board vs invest 30 bucks.
Jacked up thing, is that I've actually been poked at about my repairs by same person years later as if it was my fault and that I was the hack!!!
Anyway....I'll leave out names....and I digress....
Just dont hold it against me as a few were pretty freakin bad!

I HATE main stream social media; and it makes me almost vomit a bit to have to look on any of it for pinball and other hobby deals.
Can't stand the drama, stupidity, disconnection from actual real people who ARE right in front of you now....
Besides that....I don't give f#)k that your dog ate your kids cheeseburger after bringing leftovers home or some other nonsense. Who really freakin does!!?

Quoted from pacmanretro:I dropped a used pinball in with some candy of an older kids sack of treats tonite
Dude had side burns down to his chin and I just couldn't help it....though I admit, I DID set it in candy bowl with intent of leaving it to SOMEONE 
Quoted from king-pin:Hope he knows a good dentist!
Lmao....I was MORE concerned about it coming back at my house instead of an egg!

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I drain all RIP pinside threads.
Why????
"Celebrity" I can get.....personal ones are a different story, but that's just me....
Quoted from cait001:HEY NOW, this is the confessional thread. The Shaming thread is every other thread on pinside.
My apologies to Blitz on that one 
When I posted, I was intending to just ask why, not shame. Hadn't planned on judging nor meant for him to have to defend a confession.
I probably should have just left it alone.
Sorry Blitz
Quoted from Ozzy:Im considering leaving the pinball hobby.
Now SURELY this confession shouldn't be left alone!
Just kidding of course.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I’m here to read about pinball. The RIPs clutter up my forum topics. No disrespect to those that have passed.
I get wanting to come here for pinball. I do enjoy some O/T topics as well...but I will admit there are some days I want just pinball and just clicking on new forum posts sometimes can throw up a lot of non pinball clusters of threads sometimes.
I drain threads about people with money burning a hole in pocket and asking what they should buy.
If you're from an area without many places to try them, I understand a little more. Or newer people not sure of types/themes for family/etc. Maybe.
But still, I just don't get ones who say "hey!, I have some money, anybody want to tell me what to do with it?".

Quoted from Gornkleschnitzer:My basement can fit 8 games comfortably, 9 can fit decently, and 10 is the physical limit.
I own 12 games.
Just relax a little. You'll fit a little more.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Just relax a little. You'll fit a little more.
Ohh wait....sorry, this isn't a thread in the basement...

If you have people pay small dues, and supply like a sticker or something, you could just call it a "club"

I can't stand name abbreviations...it slows the crap out of the flow of a sentence/discussion to me (even if I know what they mean).
Is there not enough space to type real name?
Are we THAT lazy these days?
Is it just what the cool kids are doing? You know; To be different, just like everyone else...

Quoted from king-pin:I can't believe how much ForceFlow looks like Superman
I heard that they based superman off of ForceFlow after they couldn't find Vid...
Home or storage, they both cost money per square foot. I have a mixed view on storage. It seems people look at storage units as a crazy expense (which is fine), but at same time, doesn't home storage cost so much per square foot as well?
Idk. Just doesnt seem as cut and dry as some people act like. Too many situations/variables to make a blanketed statement that storage is stupid in my opinon....but again, every reason and opinion is different

Quoted from cait001:This summer they were replacing the sewer lines on our street, probably 15 feet down? Some drunk student decided to climb the pit fence for fun and got stuck down in the hole, and I think had to be rescued by firefighters.
I'm sorry for your ouchies, but I hoped you snapped a selfie from when climbed out victorious

Shameless thread plug 
I confess.....I am jealous of the confession thread getting johnny ghost and Lloyd hearse stories instead of my 2020 Halloween thread
Quoted from cait001:I confess I still look up how to spell words like schadenfreude and vacuum
I'm typically quite versed at proper words to use (except when phone fills in wrong versions of a word).
However, here are a few words I confess that I seem to never spell correctly (after letting spell check fix my list. Lol):
Tomorrow
Definitely
Psycho
Wednesday
And a few more I'm sure I'll think of right after hitting send...
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I confess I have always hated Halloween.
I used to sell candy in school, made awesome money doing that, and Halloween messed up sales for a while.
AND, I was buying the candy wholesale, and selling it for less than retail at the store on the corner near the school, so it was a win-win, I made money and saved all the kids money.
And at my 20 year high school reunion, it was all still cool! People I have not seen in 20 years asked if I had any candy to sell(joking of course). One dude I did not even remember told me he thought it was so cool what I did that he is trying to get his son to do it now.
I confess.... this is the image that popped into my head of Johnny selling 'candy' wholesale

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Does johnnypinball type his confession posts or does he use some form of talk-to-text app/program?
I believe it is talk to text thru Johnny 5.
INPUT!!!
Johnny-5-iPad (resized).pngQuoted from hwyhed:So a guy came into my townhouse complex, did a u turn, and spun his tires. I was outside of my garage, and yelled ‘slow down asshole’. He stopped a few houses away, and I told him that there’s kids around, and no need to be spinning tires. He told me to relax, and I told him to go puck himself. I didn’t care if other neighbours heard me, as he was a young ignorant asshole. Maybe I’m just getting old..
My short street is one of a couple that a lot of thru traffic cuts down and people gun it to get down the street a LOT. I scream and yell at people all the time too. Lol.
A few times I thought I was going to really get into it with some people. I felt embarrassed yelling in front of neighbors a few times and said sorry, but they actually thanked me and agreed (Many of them have kids).
One neighbor (since moved) used to have a paintball gun he would leave set out in the summer...that's all I'll say on that one....he was a pretty hardass guy and didn't have interest in backing down if he got angry. But he was a nice neighbor.
Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:It was a shorter train.
Soooo...shorty bottles?

Quoted from punkin:Hilltop Hoods, Funkoars, Drapht, The Herd, Butterfingers, Seth Sentry ect seem to fill my playlists much more than they should for an old cunt.
Quoted from punkin:Try looking up the bands i've mentioned in the post above. Start with Hilltop hoods.
I confess, the first read of the above list, I thought those were some lyrics and I was trying to rhyme them in my head
Quoted from swampfire:I’ve been home alone with my 4 cats for about a week and I’m so bored I’ve started giving them titles. The yellow cat is the King, little tabby is the Sheriff. Fat black cat is “reincarnated Elvis”.
Zazzy!
TheZazzySubstitution (resized).jpgQuoted from LTG:Not necessarily awesome.
I had a car in the 1970's with really good air conditioning. So I always had the windows rolled up. My friend "T" always gave me a hard time about that. One day we just pulled into the parking lot where my business was and he said he didn't care, he was going to open his window. Which he did and stuck his elbow out to rest on the open window ledge. A bird flying by pooped on his bare arm.
I pointed out that that was why I kept my windows rolled up. He wasn't real happy.
Some friends were fishing on Lake Mille Lacs many years ago. Out in a boat. Doing more drinking than fishing. One man is looking up with his mouth wide open. A seagull flying by shoots out a poop right into his wide open mouth. He closed his mouth and gulped. And said, "thank God my mouth was open or that bird would have sh*t all over my face.
LTG : )
You know....It seems we always look up at a flock of geese when they fly over.
If we are always saying (or thinking) "I hope they dont poop" .... then why DO we seem to always look up???
