Since I am awake & have been up all night in the US of A having fun & had 10 minutes spare (some of us young 45 year olds don't go to bed at 7.30 pm like 80 year olds do Mr Pinsanity) I read this thread. And before I forget, I bought the Princess of AP a few extra matchbox & hotwheels Ferraris for his 70 plus collection. No need to thank me. It's all good.
The article I read, at the start of this article was just crap in my humble opinion.
It was designed to stick the knife in & the title of the thread was pretty misleading to say the least.
But at least, the two most stalker activating words regarding pinball in the last few months, Bugs Bunny, weren't mentioned. Lol. It's a joke Princess Ferrari, don't lose us lollie, it's just a joke since you missed me.
But I took your photo to the shooting range in Illinois, and I didn't miss you ! (Boom boom - another awesome joke - lol)
Look, shit happens in pinball.
Yeh the game is late. We all face challenges in our life.
I waited sixteen years for a B Job in my marriage & never got it so a few years waiting for a pinball seems like a walk in the park. (Another joke if my lovely x wife is reading)
Personally, if the pin didn't eventuate, and Mike stuck to cocktail games & his contracts to supply big USA pinball manufacturers pinball parts, and did some refunds, I would declare the man a genius because the living in the pinball hobby eat their own & it's a pretty negative back stabbing keyboard commando shitfest year after year.
I will say that it seems that the intelligent majority in pinball enjoy carving up anyone who even dares to manufacture pinballs. Most people in this hobby are dark in hard to please.
So if JJP, Stern & others get their throats slit daily by the haters, I would say to Mike, why bother.
Cash in, do anything but build a pinball machine, because even if u finish it tomorrow, and it's the best thing since a matchbox Ferrari or sliced bread, 90 percent who aren't even buying one, will trash your efforts anyway.
The article was crap.
I really only posted because I know my princess on AP is missing me & I didn't want him to feel lonely.
I will be back in the country soon & you can hide in the bushes outside my bedroom window again, so it's all good, you haven't missed much.
Good to see you guys talking about pinball & remember, nothing in pinball is perfect, or ever on time, so it's all normal.
Cow Corner was right, that J Pop shelf be locked up because he kept trading when he knew he couldn't deliver.
I am amazed he is still alive or hasn't been jailed.
Mike is a stand up guy. He would hate being late on this pinball, and I know he would do the right thing if anyone pulled out, so don't let anything worry you if you are in on this game.
Peace to all & have a fun & safe Easter please everyone.
Kind regards, COT.
P. s - I wonder how many more pages this thread can go on for based on that pretty crap article ?
Maybe we need to do a Ferrari pinball thread, because I know someone "special" who would be all over that like a 12 year old boy with a booby magazine....
