Do you guys know what im talking about? You know sometimes when you just finished a game and your about to see if your score matches the number for a free game then POP!, like a golf ball hit your cabinet.

That's a notification of a free game for a match after the game is over, or your bonus on the last ball made your score earn a replay.
It's a knocker attached to the side of the cabinet, or backbox that basically is a solenoid with a doorbell plunger in it, that when it fires "knocks" on the side of the cabinet.
Or you have a lot of golf balls inside your game.
The best is when you get the new High Score to Date and are awarded three replays (POP, POP, POP). Drives my wife crazy

I love the POP! Its the sound of victory!!
It means that you have finally "arrived" Donny- and you have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and you are all out of bubblegum!
The newer digital knockers are VERY loud- especially in a small room...
Don't do too well on LOTR at 1AM, with the windows open... Unless you really hate your neighbor!!!
(Which I kinda do... )
It is a bad thing if your wife beats your high scores, if that's the case might as well sell your pins and get a new hobby haha

Hey my wife kicks ASS at pinball!
I should be so lucky to have a partner in which to share this- "hobby!"
That is why TRON and WOZ are STILL on the way (in the same year as buying LOTR NIB..!) !!!
What other "wives" would be cool with that..? (I could probably count them on one hand. )
AND I still get to sleep in the big bed!
My wife is good too, and enjoys pinball and even helps me fix them, still doesn't mean she can have any highscores
Quoted from tomdotcom:If that was my wife
Acually, it's mine. I wanna know how NP got her picture.
She's holding out on me.
Quoted from ThePostmaster:I wanna know how NP got her picture.
I just used my camera...
Duh.
P.S.
You're out of Vodka...
Quoted from NimblePin:P.S.
You're out of Vodka...
Thanks, I'll stop by the liqour store on my way home tomorrow.
