I would do this, if it wasn't, you know, valentines day.

Totally understand.
Robert would do this if he was, you know, my boyfriend anymore.
Sucks!

[GeorgeLiquor]

I'll be working, otherwise I'd be game.

[Kayla]

Damn.
Well if our paths ever cross I will challenge you to a pinball duel.
Maybe I'll just grab someone off the street for this.

[GeorgeLiquor]

I can hold on my own..mostly.

The people at Shortys demolish me though.
I can beat Kicks at Addams family 45% of the time though.

[Kayla]

Well should be a decent challenge then. I'm not incredible myself. Just better than average with a couple REALLY good games on a few tables I play a lot.
Such as Addams Family:


Granted the next score is a factory setting and I can't remember if there were any real scores from real people, that was taken in September and I'm still #1 with some of my roommates' scores below me.

I'd totally be down if it wasn't Valentine's Day... I usually get talked into doing something by my harem.

[GeorgeLiquor]

My current best to this day..
but thats when I was playing a lot more frequently. I don't play pinball nearly as much anymore in the last two years.

Speaking of pinball competitions, there's one tomorrow at the Seattle Pinball Museum:

Tomorrow is the first Seattle Pinball League tourney of 2011. Registration starts @ 10AM and hopefully the tourney will start by 11 ish. Located at 508 Maynard Ave S. (SPM in Chinatown). Tourney fee is $5.00 for SPL members and $10. for non members. SPL membership this year is $40 and includes a SPL shirt. Spectators and casual player admission during the tourney hours 10AM-4PM is $5.00. Hope to see some new faces to the SPM! Best parking ($4.00 all day) is in the lot on the S.E. corner of Maynard and Lane street intersection.

That's a nice Ad Fam score! Some times practice make perfect but most times practice means more time / quarters pumped into a machine.
Here are some other scores I'm rather proud of:


Creature from the Black Lagoon


Funhouse

That Funhouse game was the most intense pinball I've ever played. My average score is like 10-12 mil and this is 4 times as much! Once the game was over I heard that satisfying Free Game crack over and over and over again. Off of 50 cents I got about 6 free credits but after a game like that I just wanted to walk away and consider Funhouse done. I still play it at Hell's Kitchen from time to time when it's actually working.

Spammer!  I demand a detailed explanation of why you would be Kayla's perfect pinball partner!  Also provide your favorite Ramones album.

Seriously! Why does no one wanna play pinball with me? Well that's not true, I've been playing a lot of Dr. Who in Georgetown with friends.

I'm for pinball. My busy times are finally starting to slow down. I'm hopefully getting the broken part on my Addams Family welded this weekend, within a month I should be hosting a pinball are arcade party.

That's great to hear! I'm spending most my quarters on Monster Bash at the Galway all the time. But I've got the #2, 3, and 4 high scores as well as the highest Monster Mosh Pit score.
Love to play some Addam's Family and Bride soon.

[Kayla]

This is happening again but I'll be working that night. :p
Though more importantly, this Saturday at Dorkys is PINBREW! anyone heading to stinky sucky Tacoma? (only joking, I hope you all know that I love Tacoma.)
