Aussie stories
« on: June 10, 2009, 11:17:49 PM »
Hey guys

I keep a blog about pinball, cunningly called The Pinball Blog - I normally try and post something everyday and it's well read among pinball folk (altho granted I took a few days off recently after rolling a friend's 4x4!).

If any of you guys have a story you would like to share with the blog, then I'm all ears! If you've read the blog you'll know pretty much anything gets posted up, so it can be serious or silly as it doesn't really matter. Off-beat show reports, buying stories, random stories, whatever.

Or if there's news from down under you would like to share, then please try and keep me in the loop! Or suggestions of significant Australian pinball folk that you think should be interviewed.

I also publish people's "top 10" pinball machines from time to time, so feel free to submit your own.

Cheers

Good to see you are back in the land of the living Pal and back posting. #*#
Always good to read his top 10 machines and get the thoughts of other peoples taste in pinball machines, Mine's in the Top Ten mix somewhere. I don't think we have had any or many EM machines in the top ten's so far. There seems to be quite a lot of interest in the older EM stuff down in OZ so send him your top ten's and give us all a insight why you like them so much and why one title beats another.
Darren.

Hey Nick, welcome back! Got my pinball blog update this morning and was glad to see you are on the road to recovery (I think there's a pun in there).

Anyone wanting to keep up with the blog you can subscribe http://www.thepinballblog.com/ by clicking the "Subscribe via email" link on the right about half way down. Always good for a laugh or two.

Aussie Storys....Well once upon a time there was this Kangaroo, it was playing a game of Pinball.  The Pinball was a four player EM.  Anyway the Kangarro looks at the backglass and sees another Kangarro.  He says to the Kangaroo, hey you sleeped with my cusin hay....to which the other Kangaroo pulls out a gun and 'chick chick bang' the Kangaroo is dead.

Anyway what pinball machine was he playing....???

Why did I write this S*it....must still be pissed from last night *)*

PS. Glad to hear your Ok
