Quoted from trilogybeer:Sounds like you've done enough for one day , you should reward yourself with a beer . How was Iron Man 3 ?
Yeah, I'm spent...
It was good and the best of the three IMO. It had some good action sequences (a couple were even genuinely exciting) and some nice character moments along the way. I'd recommend it.
If you go, be sure to stay through the credits. The scene at the end is pretty funny.
WOW, I take a break from pinside for 3 days and come back to find that you guys have totally taken this thread off the rails and crashed right thru Grandma's living room. 
(all good stuff & I don't even drink beer)

Quoted from centerflank:Congrats on 50K karma jarjar, must be all the double posts!
Yes, I figure if it isn't worth posting twice it isn't worth posting at all. 
Quoted from centerflank:Thats quite interesting, Ill look at that some more later on tonight.
After a beer or 5
Looks like an interesting app ... Will give it a whirl.

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Centerflank,
Here is your inspirational cheerleader to keep you pumped up and motivated!
I feel like I'm watching the Toni Basil video for Mickey!

Nice. Did you know she was in Easy Rider?
Blondetall: Hi, boys. What's happening? We need to talk about your nude pics.
(Y'all): Yeah. The pics. I know, I know.
Blondetall: Yeah. Did you get that memo?
(Y'all): Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore.
Blondetall: Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting self-tilts on all the nudies pics now before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!
Quoted from blondetall:Blondetall: Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting self-tilts on all the nudies pics now before they go out now
Is buttfloss still OK?
Quoted from blondetall:We need to talk about your nude pics.
Totally agreed, I have images disabled so I dont have to see the filth these guys post.
I just don't want to get fired at work for reading threads on break and scrolling across a nude chick. lol I personally don't care if you post them, but just tilt the ones you deem probably not appropriate for those of us looking while at work, or the kiddies that may be lurking around.
I'm sure you do, Centerflank. Wouldn't want to damage your poor virgin eyes with all this filth. lol
By the way, I was reading this thread and got hungry with all the food pics. I need to start those pinball push-ups too. I don't drink beer, but I do sit on my butt at work 8.5 hours a day, and that doesn't help.
*OT* Ive been eating fairly well and no longer drinking beer for right meow, hitting the weights tonight! Wait thats on topic, who started this thread?
VVVVVVVV Definite fail! 
Quoted from blondetall:Blondetall: Hi, boys. What's happening? We need to talk about your nude pics.
Thanks for the reminder! I forgot this topic went skin-to-win earlier on. Now then... Back to page 4! 
Yeah, I didn't figure you all would mind going back to check out the nude pics again. lol
(The sad part is, if a thread is tilted and hidden from view, that just makes me want to look at it more because it must be good.)

Pinball is doing it to me too 
I do amateur boxing and since I got into pinball, no scheduled fights and up a weight class.
1 week later
Quoted from Pin-it:Hey centerflank ,losing weight yet? or is Beer winning?
I think I am losing my battle.
yeah, not feeling so much slimmer, been working a lot, I think I dropped a few pounds but nothing worthwhile, I just straight up LOVE drinking beer!
Perhaps one of you guys could dress up in a wasp outfit and chase me around the job site 
Now I'm questioning myself if I've misunderstood all this time what a centerflank is.
I assumed it was some important position on a rugby or lacrosse team,
but now I'm wondering if it is referring to a fat cut of meat in the center area. Hmmm. 
Remember pinball is not causing fat. Eating too many calories is the only reason. Exercise is awesome but not if you eat too many calories
You guys can do it!!!! Fingers on flippers not forks
Quoted from centerflank:I just straight up LOVE drinking beer!
F yeah! Why does it have to taste sooooo good
The little working out I do anymore is so I can crush beers and scotch.

Ok Centerflank,
How well did you do on your fat reduction program lately? It's been 2 months now.
Should we applaud, or groan and gag?
We are well into the 2013 football season (not sure if this is a help or hinderance),
...and I believe you have two more pins in your collection, so that should have kept your attention to spend time exercising while playing pinball and flippin away.
Have you been implementing the Banger-Trilogy technique of playing pinball while running on a treadmill? 
If you have good news to report, then pics or it didn't happen.
If you have bad news then please no pics. Hope we don't need to start calling you centerflunk.
Uh,well, I did just move the elliptical trainer over to the side of the basement where my pins are, did 40 minutes last night, overall not so great, work really kicked my butt this summer and led to much beer drinking.
On the bright side, since I did buy 2 more pins just recently, I have no $ left to drink this winter, so I got that going for me.
Oh and Im making HobbitLE payments as well...Ill be on the elliptical again tonight sweating off a good 500calories.

You can come and drink at my house , I'm a bad influence .

What you doing tomorrow night? LOL!
Quoted from centerflank:What you doing tomorrow night? LOL!
Playing pinball and drinking beer .
Popped the tire on my new bike. Bought a new tube but keep forgetting to put it on. Gotta get some miles on that thing!
Quoted from starfighter:So far, it holds about two loads of laundry.
LOL
The beer made you fat. Period. And for that, I lift my bourbon to you good sir! 
If it's really bugging you, at least you have shoveling snow to look forward to for a workout... 
Otherwise, dust off that old stationary bike and pedal for points while playin dem pins son!
How about installing a 2nd set of flippers remotely onto the exercise bike and position the bike in front of the pin you are playing so you can see the playfield while riding/exercising.
I haven't fully figured out to handle nudging the machine with this new set-up other than positioning the bike so that it touches the front of the pin.

Lets do a wrap up on this thread, was so much fun ridiculing our (my) fatness.....Proud to say Im down to 183lbs from around 230lbs last mid summer, was doing good till the past holidays (bumped up to 205lbs) but rededicated myself hardcore the past 2 months! (183lbs is official lightweight status for the Milwaukee Rumble)
Fun video shoulder pressing 60b dumbells! Don't forget to do some physical fitness, you'll be happier and live a little longer hopefully!
Quoted from Nibbles:Those would be 70's if you didn't have the gloves on
Are you referring to my super tight T-shirt (brand new-not even pitted yet) or my sweet Nike FORCE sweatpants? LOL! Ive had those since 8th grade (1991)
Quoted from Erik:Can't wait to hear about the Rumble
Only bad thing is its run+operated so horrifically, I don't like sitting around 3+ hours waiting to fight after the event has started as you don't really know when your fight is so you try to keep amped up. Last year I fought, I think it started at 700pm and I didn't fight till 1030pm or something....Bushleague!
Where do you spar in your area? We have a great gym in Madison, Ford's, but most rings are few and far between.
Quoted from presqueisle:Where do you spar in your area? We have a great gym in Madison, Ford's, but most rings are few and far between.
I usually just sparred with some of my Rugby friends, i never went to a gym/ring. Just worked my heavy bag a lot back then.
Been taking Kickbox classes at the YMCA that my wife teaches, those are really good 30min workouts.
Edit---Dont forget to vote in the new poll
I actually lost 40 pounds since I shifted to my new house
was 297
today 256
just walk, lay off soda, watch portions
keep active
feels good to be in a 2X that wasn't pulled out to fit

Congrats on the weight loss. How old are you? I'm 48 and still active. The ring teaches a lot. Before I had access to one (30 yrs ago), we'd have to stand with one heel against a wall, couldn't move it, and the other guy would tee off. No hitting back, just defense. Kind of like what can happen in a ring, but the real ring was an eye opener for me. Good luck with your fight!
