In before the lock, oh wait never mind.

Pinside needs to send y'all a outside work table so your not on the ground or having to hold the work on your hand.

It already has the invisible stuff. I can't see a thing.

I'll take one too.

They are probably getting a big splinter removed or a cut sewn up.

Oh damn. Wasn't me, I promise.

Damn caught me. It was Friday and I was bored so I had to go loot and pillage. Guess you didn't notice the missing shoes yet. They fit great.

IMG_3243 (resized).JPG

Hope they catch them.

The backboxes look like tombstones.

You couldn't steal one from the junk yard (back alley)? You could build a mars probe with all that stuff.

Slackers. Don't they know what's important yet?

I don't think that is supposed to be a twist drill.

I'm expecting "eye closed" welding and sparks flying tonight.

Amigos just ain't right without sparks.

Nows your chance to drop the playfield on his head. You know it's going to happen so might as well get it out of the way before all the stuff is on the bottom.

Whiskey break done got you. Ha ha.

No harm no foul. Have another.

Can we go ahead and do Friday on Thursday this week? I'm going out Friday and don't want to have to wait till Saturday.

3 days instead of 1.

I'm in.
Y'all need to road trip more often.

The shirts need a bigger area of a lighter color to make space for autographs. We will need that.

Not white but there a silver one that would work great.

But I can't understand a thing y'all say. Except for the beer part. Guess that's universal in any language.

And y'all got cool cars. You have our cool cars and your cool cars too.

We're gonna be needing that back.

If they wrote pacmans people would be like "idiots don't know how to spell". It would be like if a pin had words misspelled on a Playfield. Oh wait never mind...

Where do the baby pacman's come from? Ms pacman must be getting out a lot.

Awesome. Don't forget a V-neck ladies style shirt. They will NEED one too. Well she will wear it but it will be for me...

What.... think you been breathing to much welding fumes.

Make it $5 more for autographs. It is for a good cause and don't think anyone will mind helping.

Put a Williams style coin door trim bolt to fill the hole.

Never say "BOOM!!!" When working on electronics.

How about some spaghetti to go with your beer bombs.

It's probably one if those $20 shipping and when you get it the postage says $2.50.

No, I think it was the "moss".

That's not dirt. It's preservative.

They are running a little late.

My favorite day (except Monday) yea!!

In keeping with the amigo pinball spirit just saw off a couple inches from the edges.

Edit

Guess I should have went all the way down before posting. That's mostly what you did. Ha ha.

Sure.... rub it in while all us losers can only dream.

I don't about you but when I get hammered I count that as an injury. The next day anyhow.

Hmm... well it is 420.

No it's only Thursday but I will check back in tomorrow.

I was starting to get worried. There hadn't been any grinding or welding in weeks.

Hey Bas, I know you have business in the car industry. Do you have anything to do with Bas international? Just bought a new roadster top and I'm feeling the $pain$. Just say yes so I can feel like my money went to something good.

Hmm... that's usually the "old lady kicked us out look"? What did y'all do now?

Edit to say that does look like an album cover.

Hey I just remembered. The "moss" must be in the alley. We always called that "the safety meeting".

Either that or maybe this.

Something tells me next time you will be a little more careful with the black urethane.

Oh shit, one look at that blade on the dremel and all I could think about was this.
IMG_4464 (resized).PNG

Porch moss is my favorite. Adds reality.

I get nervous every time I see you use one of those unibits. I'm to chicken for those things. I could blast a hole 3 sizes to big in a split second.

And they spurt too.

One more personal question?
Do your girl and kids have mastery of English like you? Do they understand some of the nuances of the language? Seems like you are a American living over there as good as you do.

You have more of Americas useless old crap than we do.

Holy crap that dude obviously came out of the "funky junky" and he had been sampling the junky. Wonder what was in his plastic bag?

Just for the record, I have more fun on your vacations than I do on mine.

Hopefully no break ins when you get home this time.

That's what kids are for. If they give you any lip tell them the hole is for them.

This weeks take away. Lack of alcohol makes Mics beard grow like wildfire.

As usual.

We always called that the "safety meeting".

Bunch of drunk pinball people in a party bus. Make us all proud.

Two words. Motorhome submarine. All it would take is some sealer around the windows, air source for the engine, propellers in the back... We all know they can do it.

It's impossible to catch the Friday update and not smile the whole time.

No Dick tonight.

Boo. That's two weeks in a row.

tar snd feathers fir him

WTF. Never seen y'all use instructions before.

There is a joke in there somewhere but I will leave it alone.

The more I think about this thread I think y'all have cut yourselves short.
You've heard of a "widebody" what was needed was a "longbody". You know like a casket. Just think of the crazy layout, amount of flippers and different shots if the game was 6' long. Not huge like Hercules just long.

Take the glass off and have your kids look for it. They will find it.

The safety meeting must have kicked in.

I will tell you what's worse. With average life expectancy I got about 20 more years. I can remember 20 years ago like yesterday. So the good news is... you got 30 left.

Damn, you havnt even been to the alley yet.

It's Friday!!

IMG_5070 (resized).JPG

So your saying just act normal? That's always the easiest.

I noticed in the different pictures they post a lot of products have both languages on the packaging. If it's not in English the first thing I do is google it to figure out what the heck it is.

My question is do Dick and "The Beard" speak English too? In the video clips I've never heard them speak.

About another 4 hours. They're tuning up their grinders.

You could always get some clear window film (like window tint) and put on the glass for safety reasons.

Oh, when talking about glass, I like to avoid the word "boom"

I thought that was what the alley was for?

Hmm. I don't see any beer, must be hiding behind those boxes.

That looks like “those” cookies. Shouldn’t you be eating them in the alley?
