“That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball!”
comics and animation, everyday glory, games, geekery, golf, monkeys!, movies and TV, news and info, office antics, quote of the day, science and technology, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...?! June 16th, 2008The day has been pretty good. The highlight (at least so far) was heading to
(…in the neighborhood…)
(…in the neigh-bor-hood.)
Not sure what trouble I plan on getting into this evening. Maybe a trip to Paragon City… or *gasp* even The Rogue Isles.

As neither looneybin88 nor I had heard of this, let alone seen the video, he sent us a link to it. (Disclaimer: If you’re squeamish, you may just want to skip this one.

Quotes of the Day
Today’s gems both came at lunchtime and qualify as “Unintentional Porn Overheard While Playing Pinball”
- looneybin88 was on the machine… and doing quite well. He made a play that resulted in playing with three pinballs on the table. (You have no idea how many permutations that last sentence went through before I came up with something that wasn’t porn-tastic.) Someone commented on his making a good play and the rest of the conversation went down the proverbial chute:
Me: Sun. Dog. Ass. (My usual ‘shorthand’ for “The sun shines on a dog’s ass, too…”)
looneybin88: What can I say? I got skills!
: You have skills… with a dog’s ass? I’m calling animal control. At that point, all three balls left the field of play as looneybin88 doubled-over, red-faced and laughing.
- All of us had a horrible third game… except JG. When he was coming to the table to play his second ball, he looked at our scores and said:
Huh, all I have to do is beat myself.
The rest of us looked at each other… and broke out in raucous laughter. JG, to his credit, stoically kept playing.
And now, to find some trouble to get into.
Namaste.
