    Sometimes reminisce about checking the coin return slots for free quarters back when I was an impoverished arcade kid. I long for the days when a game of pinball held so much value and concentrated enjoyment. Then I snap it if it and play pinball in the comfort of my own home for a couple hours.

    For many years, even into adulthood sadly, I thought you had to own a company to buy a pinball machine...

    In 1991, after many games at a whopping 50 cents per game, I finally got to spin the big wheel on Bride of Pinbot. It awarded me one million. I was too old to cry, but young enough and poor enough for tears to swell.

    I've made speeches about not judging people while judging people.

    Quoted from Chisox:

    Agreed. I’m still working (essential my ass) and would love to have some time off. I also feel horrible for those who are stuck at home with no income that need to get back to work. I have tons of friends and family in this situation.

    My workload went up by 25% and will continue to be that way for the foreseeable future. I'm the online guy in our department, which is now all online. I'm glad I'm not laid off, but the wife is off work till this thing is over. Jealous but thankful.

    I've given my wife a German oven (fart in bed and aggressively cover her with the blanket). It was only once, because no woman can typically survive more than one German oven. Dutch ovens are far less lethal.

    We just had our ten year anniversary and couldn't be happier.

    Quoted from Lhyrgoif:

    I really like that there is no sports on tv, no sports in the magazines and no sports on radio. My life is better now when I dont have to actively avoid uninteresting sport news whenever I watch something.

    Wow, someone like me!

    I used to brag that I like the smell of my farts.

    As I get older, I'm joining the others.

    Quoted from Shredso:

    Same. I end up wasting so much time during the day doing useless shit like read these posts, that I end up going back to work after dinner to make up for all the time I wasted.

    I confess that this made me quit reading this thread... For now.

    First confession:

    I want to put my tough games on five ball and/or raise the ball save, but I know the game would never look at me the same. I'd feel so cheap, I'd have to sell it.

    Second confession:

    I swear at IMDN in the tone of a prison fighter, with anunciated, spitt-filled cusses. "Ohhh, cheap drain." "FUCK yourself you fuckin' cunt fuck!" Thinking "I wish I could just smash the fucking glass and get it over with."

    Wife from upstairs: "Heeeeeey!"

    Later that night: "Iron Maiden is my favourite game. It's sooo challenging in a good way."
