I also considered an old-school pachinko machine, such as my folks brought back with us when we moved back to Alaska from Japan in '72 or thereabouts.

I liked to hit the flippers to match Thing's snaps, even when the machine didn't do it automatically.

Because...

See, my take on gambling is that you have to know when to hold them, but also know when to fold them. It's pretty complicated shit.

But pinball, FUCK YES! Going to Vegas next weekend. I'll see if I can talk my friend into spending some time at the museum. I love that place. Who knows, maybe I'll take some photos.

I am really bad at every game in the world except for Settlers of Catan. I don't really gamble.

My radio station has the simpsons arcade game. Also Off Road, but it's been broken for a billion years.

The traditional first question during General Manager elections is "when will you fix Off Road?"

The Simpsons pinball kicks ass. I would buy that if I had the cash and the space.

Pinball.  Yes.

I remember once, I was playing some rad pin ball machine, and it malfunctioned in the most wonderful way - I just wouldn't stop giving me balls.  First is shot out every ball it contained, then every time I sank one, it was shot back out again.  That was good times.  Eventually my parents made me leave, which was something I did not want to do.

The one thing I really liked in Vegas was the car museum, but then again I didn't go to the pinball dealie.
