We have endured music practice on drums and violin. There is generally a television on somewhere and most likely it is airing a noisy horror movie with lots of subwoofer action.
We have suffered through dog's snoring and hamsters running on endless wheels throughout the night. If the washer or dryer are running, it sounds as if Apache helicopters are landing on the roof.
There's the "daddy chair" which shakes the floor - it's a la-z-boy with massage and heat. There are multiple cell phones all set to vibrate and/or ring to call us all to immediate action.
With all of this shaking going on - you'd think that there would be a little thrill in it for somebody, right?
Well, there is some shaking that just can't be beat. It goes from your fingers down to your toes, rings your bell, flashes bright lights and makes you feel like you really scored.
Enjoy, but please remember that this is for entertainment purposes only...
Oh hell yes. I love pinball!
ReplyDeleteCome visit and play with me!!! No quarters required.
Deletei want one of those!
ReplyDeleteYup! They are great.
DeleteThis is so much better than all the other electronic devices put together!
ReplyDeleteOnly louder than the rest sometimes. The dog can't stand the sounds from this machine as it has the old fashioned chimes.
DeleteWow, I haven't played in years. I've probably pumped enough quarters into those things over the years to buy one.
ReplyDeleteProbably! You can find them for not a lot of dollars if you look.
DeleteApache helicopters? Really? Tilt.
ReplyDeleteHa!:"tilt"
DeleteEverybody that hears the laundry running thinks it is a helicopter over the house.
I can't even remember the last time I played pinball, what a great take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ziva. I had too many thought on this one, but this photo won.
DeleteI love old fashioned pinball. Never could get into the newer electronic game systems. We had one called "Pinky" in my in-laws' basement that provided us with endless hours of amusement. We'd write our high scores on the basement wall next to PInky, using the chalk from the pool table. Good memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great memory! High scores are a big bragging right.
DeleteI was never any good at playing pinball but I did enjoy it as a kid. I probably haven't flipped a paddle in fifty years.
ReplyDeleteYou have to play a lot on the same machine to get around to being "good." most kids don't have the coins for that.
DeleteYour post made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI loved this line:

A little thrill never hurts does it?
DeleteOh yes.....nothing like a great game of pin ball to make you feel fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYes! Of course you can't win anything except that good feeling!
DeleteGame on! SWEET!
ReplyDeleteI ♥ pinball machines... sadly I usually don't do very well when I play them but they do provide me with endless entertainment.
ReplyDeletegoooood vibrations!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo. And I'm still jealous. More so, actually, now that I've seen the proof. You guys are awesome. Wanna adopt me?
