We all had a blast!

Got to show off some of my old pinball skills (although a little rusty), but I did win 70% of our 3 way battles. Also left with the high score of the day on Ms. PacMan (about 80K) and on two pinball machines (8 Ball Deluxe and 6 Million Dollar Man).

Oh, and I still suck at Donkey Kong and Joust.

Definitely need the Hipsters to continue to bring this back!
$20 a day? That is dirt cheap. I used to pump that into machines at 25 cents a pop in a couple of hours.

Many, many years ago my mother was in the car after shoveling for a rather large snow storm. 12 year old me and a friend were sitting in the back seat, and she turned around to reverse out of the driveway. I now know all too well why, but she immediately screamed, while being able to censor herself "Ouch ouch icky back!"

It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that she finally admitted she almost said fuck in front of the kids. We still pick on her about it.

Yep, that was my exact thought when I saw it.

I told my sons it's a good thing this place isn't on my way home from work,
I might become a "regular".

The nice thing about the in/out rights on the $20 a day one is there is a pool hall/bar that I'm told has decent food right next door.

I suggest you seek medical advice before it gets worse.

At age 35, hopefully the pain will be temporary, however, I doubt it will go away without some action on your part.

That's what my buddy was saying. So that's why before gets to my back I was working out my legs... but too late. When my back gets better, I'll be working out more.

If it is migrating like that, I do suggest checking with a doctor as well. I had issues that started in my knee and moved to my lower back. After finally seeing a doctor, it turns out a broken foot many years prior never healed properly, so my right foot was leaning outward and causing my leg to slightly bow. It has all but gone away with some specific shoe inserts in addition to hiking.

Huh interesting info. I've never broken my feet, so don't think that's it. BUT last month, I did sprained my ankle. It's fully recovered and have been running for few weeks... til Jumper Knee (different side) happened and this just happened.

It took that much on a new game just to figure out the controls and stuff!

I stopped with the home game units when they went past a joystick and a button.
