I don't know about everyone else, but I feel the need for a fun thread. It's been a weird and long few weeks, and we're at the halfway point of the year with a holiday weekend for those in the US, so I think we need to celebrate and have some fun.
Between now and Sunday the 5th (it has to end sometime so we don't murder the new server,) everyone is invited to join in on this virtual pinball party. Share posts with pictures of your pins, your arcade, your family or friends playing your pins, and this weekend's gatherings if you are having people over. Pictures and videos of fireworks are appreciated, as I'm having to bunker down with my terrified rescue dogs and won't see any in person.
We're going to need food for this party of course, so share your best burgers, ribs, chicken, veggie platters, dips, etc. Pictures are great, recipes are even better. I don't drink and will be the designated driver, but please drink responsibly and don't post weird stuff under the influence.
And of course you can't have a party without some music, so share your favorite songs and music videos! If you play an instrument or are in a band, show us! (I officially declare Silverball by Bare Naked Ladies the anthem for the party.) If you have some other cool talent and want to share that as well, please do. There's plenty of room at this party for a talent show.
The only party rules are to play nice, no politics/religion/racism/sexism talk (because honestly if you need more of that, just look at Facebook or turn on the news,) and keep all photos/videos/links relatively safe for work. Oh, and don't pee in the pool. 
If you aren't sure about a picture, don't post it or mark it NSFW. I'm hosting this shindig and have to be able to view it from work, and promised Robin that everyone would behave. (That may have been stupid, but I believe you all can do it!) If anyone is way out of line, you'll be shown the door with a permanent thread eject. So welcome to the party, I hope you have a blast!
