Man, I'm jinxed
« on: January 15, 2009, 11:00:16 PM »
Seriously....

What is that saying about things come in threes?

Was out in the gamesroom tonight and thought I'd have another go at finding that f**king short on my World Fair. So I pull the lockdown bar off, slide the playfield glass out and gently place against the wall behind me.

So what next?

Take a step back, clip the glass and it shatters into a billion small bits.

That is THREE playfield glasses I'v accidently smashed over the past few months after never smashing one in the previous 32 years of collecting.

Didn't even clean up the mess  :lol Just turned around, locked the door and gave up  :lol

Tony no disrespect but it seems that this World Fair is becoming a curse  !  !)#

Not only are you having trouble finding this short but these guys are giving you a hard time about it too !  <.>

Leave it for the meet at your your place.. The more pairs of eyes the better....  *%*

I'll send up some super glue Tony. Between my superglue and your restoration skills, we'll have that glass back together and looking like the day it left the factory in no time at all.

There's still time to be the first person to vote "Never" and almost certainly be the winner at the current rate!
