    Clearly, we need to take out www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com - and make pinball great again.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention Tim!

    I love what Tim does for the local community.
    I love that he's got a wide variety of games.
    I love that they're all so cheap; I can spend just $10 in an hour.
    I love that he's just 10 minutes from my daughter's house.
    I don't love his crotchetiness. But I love that he doesn't give a __.
    I've pitched in towards the new PHOP; I'm a fan of his mission.

    I have appreciation for the hard work it takes to keep an old fashioned arcade running.
    I have appreciation that he's done it without the associated ways to augment income (ie a barcade).
    I have appreciation that he's finding it tough, especially with new game prices skyrocketing.

    But, that said, I have a hard time going back to PHOP. Those blue half-rectified 60hz blinky LEDs. My eyes (or brain) absolutely hate low frequency blinky LEDs. So, even when it's convenient, I .. have a hard time dropping another hour's worth of quarters into the coin slots. This isn't unique to the museum though; half the games at shows have the same issue.
