Quoted from coasterguy:Do we have to keep making the here lame threads that mean zero. Robins amazing site deserves better.
Sorry/not sorry.
Yes. Maybe not. Me too.

Quoted from spidey:As soon as I read the title I knew Crazy posted it. Well played.
Yes. I’m now getting the feeling that I’ve been had with respect to my earlier reply. Oh well, irony is sometimes hard to discern with only the written word at your disposal. Haha.
Quoted from PappaDubz:Does CrazyLevi have a Arch Nemesis on Pinside?
So we can summon him to this thread for his 2 cents
Unfortunately I am beloved by all and have no enemies here.
I feel the sudden need to do a deep dive into past pinside posts, make a list, and copy paste that list incessantly. Nah jk, that would just show how lame I really am.

Better known as, Kumbaya Levi
Is this the part where I lose my mind over the most trivial of annoyances like a psycho, or does that come later?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Unfortunately I am beloved by all and have no enemies here.
Now would be a great time for someone to post links to 30 topics such as Gumgate/FamilyArcade that provided wealth of discussion and entertainment to prove Levi’s point.
…but ain’t nobody got time for that.
…quite frankly I can’t imagine how boring this place would be without pinsiders like him. One of the reasons I read all these topics.
While I enjoy everybody's threats to post links to my posting history, it rings kind of hollow when you don't actually do it!
Why are you folks so lazy? You think my awesome Pinball Pricing Thread Index just typed itself?
There was a lot of work there. There was a lot of commitment. There was a lot of passion. If you are gonna try to co-opt my act, you actually have to DO it! You don't get points for just threatening to do it!
DO IT!
Quoted from CryHavoc:Is this the part where I lose my mind over the most trivial of annoyances like a psycho, or does that come later?
Well, you've clearly lost your mind already, so I'm not sure what comes later.
What comes after following me around like a psycho in multiple threads posting inane one-liners?
Let's find out together!

Imagine being Levi and begrudging someone else for following someone around to multiple threads with one-liners. Hilarious.
Edit: To be clear, I'm not following you. I'm posting in the same pricing threads you are. Just because I don't champion you on and summon you doesn't mean I'm following you. If you really think someone's following you they make pills for that.

The point isn't that the posts exist. The point is that it's lame do something like that in the first place. Use more exclamation marks and ALL CAPS btw. Really jazzes it up.

Agree on everything! Lots of work. Lots of commitment. You are dedicated and, I think, appreciated by most for that dedication!
I’m not so dedicated…figured it was okay to drop in one fond memory of a thread that might also bring a smile to a couple other faces and maybe spur a few more mentions of memorable threads.
Threatening?!? Please. Mentioned only in good fun and admiration.
A couple of months ago I stopped saving for pinball machines so I could save money to buy an oil company.

You usually lose it pretty quick.

I best prepare my caps lock button then.
Dude, I concede. These caps lock burns are hitting too close to home and it's making me uncomfortable.
Call off the dogs man!!! Have a heart!
Quoted from CryHavoc:Really, that's it?
Yes, really. That's absolutely the best comeback I could muster to "I better prepare my caplock."
Give me better material to work with buddy!

Oh hey man that's my bad, I was under the impression you were the resident quipper here. Everyone has been giving me the impression you were clever enough to carry yourself. I'll keep that in mind.
I know an opportunity when I see it… electric cars lead us to gas powered pins.
BPH (balls per hour) overtakes MPH as the leading measurement. Multiball is a killer on the wallet.

It feels like the part of the movie where you tell each other you hate them followed by a passionate kiss.

Come on Vic! Back when you were still with us in the NFL thread we had lots of little “take it to PM” tiffs, it didn’t mean we wanted to sleep together!
I mean I think. Right? I mean, I’m willing to revisit this!

We did? The only thing I remember is a bunch of bengal fans taking up all the oxygen and reporting anyone to the mods who didn’t agree with them.

Things have changed over there, it’s all peace and love now!!
Just swallow your pride, suck up to the mods, and come back to us! It’s the year of the Ram, take your victory lap!
Plummeting gas prices? If that is not a modern day hyperbolic intro than I do not know what is!
I would expect that marquee bill from esteemed economist(?) Paul Krugman!

Yeah, in the MLB thread a bengals fan mentioned his trip to LA for the super bowl. I thought I was just having a good natured jab at him. But no, he’s a bengals fan. Looking forward to collecting 50 bucks from him when the Dodgers win their 100th game.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Also for the Bengals. I couldn’t care less about attending the games anymore unless my dad wants to go with me.
Quoted from vicjw66:Yeah. You should make the super bowl your last bengals game. Seeing it end in person with Aaron Donald spinning Burrow around to the ground like a rag doll. I tell you, it doesn’t get any better than that. Who’s house? Rams house!!!
Quoted from chuckwurt:Douches gotta douche. Talk to ya at the end of this season to settle up.
I followed up with a somewhat apology saying it was meant to be a light hearted jab, but nope. Bengals fan.
Quoted from underlord:Somebody needs to post 20 years of Levi responds to price bubble links.
Leave that to a mod, they apparently have plenty of free time.
Quoted from PoMC:Leave that to a mod, they apparently have plenty of free time.
Why don't you just set the mod on 'ignore?"
Ohhhh wait you can't for some reason.

Erik is one of the best guys in the hobby. If you can't get along with him, check the mirror for problems...
Well…officially, gas prices continue to plummet!
Good luck to all!
=====
The national average price of a gallon of regular gas has shed more than 70 cents since its peak above $5 a gallon at the beginning of June, falling to $4.30 as of Wednesday.
There's a ton of profit taking occurring. One nearby street has all the stations at 4.55, another street a mile away is 4.05 (3.95 cash). Has been like that all week, and business isn't dropping off on street #1. People are stupid and businesses gonna profit on that.
I posted this in the stock forum by accident and meant to post it in this thread.
Big profits for the major oil companies:

The way I see it it is a good idea to own some oil stocks to pay for your gas consumption
