well yeah, EMs are easy to roll over when you have them set to award a extra ball every 10 points!
 sure, you just know deep down inside that the EM Brigade is unbeatable because they excel in the world of REAL bells and chimes, unlike that recorded electronically mumble jumble you are used to. We understand the geometry and the skill set with smacking those cabinet corners to make the game shrivel in fear at our awesome playing skill. Why I heard that JEFFNOTJIM has scored on Ems higher totals then the billions of points awarded for putting the ball in play on a SS game.  SS=simply silly. Boy they sure don't make them like the good old days when people respected we wizards for our expertise and being just plain good looking examples of the human race!
 SS players all need to work on their tans!
 its ok yall fear us, we understand!  ;D

well see what you should do is borrow my bow and arrow or old Chicago or maybe one of my gottlieb wedgies and not announce it as one of the 9. then you can freak out a whole bunch of players, or maybe not, most good players can play EMS quite well. then theres that occasional player that claims they hate EMS and have never really played them,,,,,,,,,,,kinda like making NASCAR drivers try to make it around road courses!

True. Often the same names appear in the list of top 16 qualifying players in both modern and classics banks. Some players are stronger on one era versus another, but the top players are solid across the eras.

I just realized this is the same day as the Meatloaf concert and I got VIP seats for my wife for her birthday. I really hate to miss one of your gatherings Dan as they are always a great time and I get to see some people that I don't see that often anymore. Plus your collection is amazing and always changing. Between the pins and the jukes I could spend a whole weekend there.

I can come by Sunday morning and play some pinball while you are cleaning up.   ;D

Sorry I can't make it and thank you for the invite.

Just a final note...after the party note that is.It was a GREAT time again as usual! The PIN GOLF tournament was FUN and different. Ron, showed up on the right day! LOL. And even a few new faces! Congrats to Kirby for the WIN for April. The league will be sad to see you go.But I guess you will just have to get a plane ticket and come back in a few months for the Finals. Owl brought the TBPL shirts too. and we had a minor issue with 2 games at the start but Hamster came to the rescue! Thanks!. ( and just to clarify that was Ron oicu812)...the food was great and prepped by Dona. Hope to see all or most of you next month. Sorry..the pics I took are WAY out of focus!!!

Was fun to play a different format, Pin Golf, and the strawberry angel food cake was divine!
