Good morning pinballers! I hope everyone had a wonderfully pinball-filled Holiday weekend. I visited my parents in Burlington, VT, where there is only ONE pinball machine to be found in the whole county. On previous visits, this machine in question was a South Park machine in the local movie theater. When one of my old high school friends asked me if I wanted to go to a movie while I was in town, I hastedly aggreed! We saw the new Tintin (which was awesome), but the whole time I could feel the weight of the quarters in my pocket, just begging to be slung into a pin! When we got out of the movie, I found out that they had gotten rid of the South Park Machine!!!!
And replaced it with a pristine Tron Legacy machine! Phew, did you just ride that emotional roller coaster with me?! It was a lot of fun.
Anywho, I don't have a dream machine for you guys today. Instead, I have a comic. I have been kicking around this idea for a while - where someone with amazing body english skills saves the day. This is what I came up with. Disclaimer: it's weird.
That poor dolt falling out of his chair in the last panel is supposed to be me. I guess it's a joke about tilting a boulder that looks VAGUELY like a pinball machine, but also a joke on how I have to explain pinball ALL THE TIME to my friends. But, WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE, right?!?
