When Im Gone
« on: June 01, 2009, 08:45:58 PM »
Ok I have mentioned this before but when I go I wanna be buried in one of my machines.

With the Backbox as the tomb stone.  Two Player with Player 1 score on 1965 (year of birth) and Player 2 on year of death.

Of course the Game Over light would be flashing.  The way Im putting on weight latley might have to bee a widebody machine  :lol

Is this weird??

PS. This is a joke by the way *)*

As long as you cover the top with dirt I can't see an issue with it.  However if you want everyone to look down, through the playfield glass this may be a little unsettling to some!

I do like the idea.

Like your thinking, instead of an open coffin, just have me visable through the playfield glass.  Just have to make sure Tony (illawara stealers) is no where around cause he would smash the glass on me :lol

I think it is a great idea. The playfield glass would be great for those wanting a viewing before you go into the grave.
Wouldn't it be good to see a cemetery with an Anglican section, Catholic section, Jewish section, then a Pinballist Section, with the backboxes (or granite reproductions of same) all lined up....
I don't think I could bear a cremation - to see a good cabinet go up in smoke would make the whole occasion even sadder.
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

I think it's a great idea Dean .... In fact I can see the funeral now ... Everyone paying there respects with heads bowed ... and the group of AP members with shovels at the ready to reclaim that "coffin".....  %.%

Someone might turn up and kick the shit out of your gravesite in a ritual performed to resurrect you.
This is the origin of the term "Death Save"  :D

Every time i have a pin cabinet stripped down (in the middle of a rebuild) i say the same thing to my wife. we dont need to buy a coffin, we can use a pinball cabinet.
