Quoted from schudel5:Right behind you...
Yeah! We’re winning! Whoohoo!
I want to thank all the little people out there that made it possible.
And of course I have to thank the big guy...vid1900.
Youngstown, OH
Quoted from xeneize:vino are you saying vid's a streaker? No doubt!
Vid doesn't need cloths. The plants and trees move to cover him as he travels. When there are no plants, the shadows from day cover what's needed. At night, Vid doesn't bother.
Quoted from TractorDoc:Vid was once summoned for jury duty and was offered complimentary valet parking.
There's the Winner here folks!
Quoted from Cheddar:vid please come back. I just changed my avatar to encourage him to return[quoted image]
2e84df3d264601961070173dadcbdffc (resized).jpgFrom what multiple people have said above, sounds like he is well, just taking a break....I'm sure we will see more Vid as needed in the future 
Quoted from Tommy-dog:The funny thing is that a lot of us have seen Vid. He was been to a lot of pinball shows like Expo, Kalamazoo, the Ohio show, etc. I know exactly what he looks like and his real name.
I am start to question Cichlid's story now. If he already knows what he looks like, finding a picture of him is actually easy. Just look at prior pinball shows. I did find a picture of Vid but my gut said that I should not be helping this Cichlid person. Something just is not right.
Quoted from cichlid:I can not find an actual picture clear picture of him.
I have the neighbor's security cam video, but it's worthless other than seeing motion.
I've looked through a few threads on the pinball shows, but he is scarce.
Does this help?

After all the posts in here I’m assuming Vid is the guy on the banner?
Quoted from JayDee:After all the posts in here I’m assuming Vid is the guy on the banner?
No he’s the third one. Everybody knows Vid can’t be seen in mirrors or pics.
When Vid goes into a bar for the first time and asks about that sign saying - free beer tomorrow, they bring him a pitcher of his favorite beer on the house (and he didn’t even tell them which one it was)!

Why do we need a picture of Penn at a time like this?
Quoted from Aniraf:Why do we need a picture of Penn at a time like this?
That’s an old pic, barely recognizable. Vid had surgery to moisturize his leathery neck and now rocks a full head of ginger locks.

Obviously we can tell he must have been bathing in saddle soap to get rid of that tough old leathery skin. I think he was trying to sell the silver surfer a box of old bally boards.
Quoted from Aniraf:Why do we need a picture of Penn at a time like this?
That's funny because when I saw this pic or one similar many years ago tied to Vid in a thread that Vid was actually participating in, I stated that he looked like Penn. He gave me a thumbs up. I just assumed at that point that it was in fact him. But on the other hand, I assumed that he was much older since he's talked about attending Zeppelin shows in the 70's, for example.

I heard that Vid was present when Jesus was born.
QSS
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Does this help?
That cannot be Vid. That's a picture of a man, a mere mortal. Vid is a legend, clearly.
Quoted from Guinnesstime:I have faith that one day, we'll turn around and vid will just show up again.[quoted image]
I'm sure Vid will be back one day.

Wait a sec - i think i remember that pic, wasnt there another thread somewhere about that guy being a dick to some girls that were playing or something?

Vid is a Russian bot designed to spread misinformation about pinball repair and maintenance. I can’t believe you guys have all been waxing your playfields for all this time. The Russians are really laughing at us.
Vid is in Northern Canada seeking old growth hard wood forests to cut down and bring us playfields with no dimpeling.
Quoted from Nokoro:Clear my upvote

I always thought vid was a beta-terminator, sent back from the future as a test to see if the machines could do it. Instead of destroying us, he decided to fix pinball machines who he mistakenly thinks are his kind. You see his circuit boards were scrambled a bit...
Quoted from SirScott:And here, I thought you already had me on ignore.
Lol...don't be silly! I thinks it cool 20 years after high school, where we didn't have a lot in common, to both end up...here!

...as was foretold in the prophecies.

It’s amazing to me how much people change in the years after high school.
