My being on tilt is a hella bad thing. I seem to be experiencing holiday malaise/melancholia at the news of Scrambles's passing/an anurism. You will note that I have posted more in 20 minutes than... well... ever.

And the Chinaman is not the issue, Dude.

Man, I'm going to get a beating when Mrs. Dunston checks in.

If you don't for that second movie reference, man, you should.

But it is generally agreed that tilting the machine is part of the game, and part of any winning player's strategy.

Just ask Tommy.


LIES. It is clearly established in the canon that Tommy "has crazy flipper fingers (and) never tilts at all."(1)  Your implications to the contrary only slander perhaps the greatest figure in modern fictional pinball, a role model for all children.(2)

Funny story.  You'll have to ask Pedro about that movie sometime.  

Heh heh heh...

On Tilt, or full tilt can also mean taken to the extreme, as in as far as you can go before you totally tump over.  It's old school dope slang.  In the case of an ice machine on tilt I would take it to mean one that is hella making ice as fast as it can.

I don't think that that's what it means, cuz it just wouldn't make sense in the context of things.  Unless Ray used so much ice that the brain in the ice machine needs to make more speedy fast.  Doubtful though says I.

i took 'tilt' in the pinball sense, picturing an impatient ray banging on the machine when it stopped giving him ice for a while though his bucket was only HALF FULL.  the ice machine senses that it's being banged upon (via mercury switch, plumb bomb, or other such device), and starts beeping and flashing 'TILT' at ray.  this of course that the machine will refuse to even so much as make the "i'm trying to find some ice for you" noise when ray pushes the button.

to me, that mental picture was the funniest part of the strip

Strangly this never crossed my mind. but no one really looks all that hot, so I guess that's why.  This sort of hell is a lot more like what I might picture a sort of purgatory to be.

I guess it all depends on whether Johnston ever plays or not.
If not it's Hell.
Apart from that I like the look of it, in a debaucherous sort of sense.

I think purely based on this I'm off to sell my soul.
'Cause we know we can all trust Onstad as arbiter of all theological knowledge.

The continual promise that he will play followed by perpetual postponment - there's hell for ya.

tump over

Apologies if this has been gone over somewhere else, but I'm linguistically curious -- do you live or were you raised in the South?

Say, can you tell us about Pedro and that movie?


She's letting me tell it.  While I think Pedro is a fun moniker for a blindingly white-skinned person, I was actually born with the equally unlikely name Adrian.

One day while I was proctoring the SAT (Scholastic Achievment Test), I told the kidlets to call me Mr. Dunston.  One of the girls responded, "Like Dunston Checks In."  I smiled painfully because I like my name and don't like apes, but I decided to go with it.

"Yeah," I said.  "Actually, my first name's Adrian like Mrs. Balboa.  You know.  Yo Adriaaaan."  They stared.  "You know, Rocky?"

The girl kind of smirked.  "I think that was before our time."

Just before saying I hadn't been born in 1978 either but I've heard of Rocky Balboa, I remebered hearing on NPR the night before that Sylvester Stallone's last two movies had gone straight to video, and that he was pretty much washed up for all time.  I can't understand it.   I mean.  Who could forget Rocky III with Mr. T?  The man could do no wrong.  (Except maybe Rocky V, but that's not the point.)

I've since given up.  Wife, job, mortgage.  I haven't been alive a quarter century, but I'm already old.

I ended up telling the administrators that I had caught the girl cheating on her SAT.
