Sketchbook time … as an artist, when you are alone, you are free to REALLY observe. Art spies are all over the place… even at Pizza places. Beware, you might just wind up in someone’s sketchbook.
Two quarter and not enough for pinball? *sigh* It’s been like that for far too long. I remember when it was a dime per game, or three games for a quarter. That probably means I’m far too old. 😀
Some games are a whopping 75 cents to play. $2 will get you more fun for longer playing time.
Two quarters will get you a game, just not a raft of games. Maybe Randy wants lots or none.
It depends on which game you wanna play… some are 2 quarters… some are 3. Monster Bash is 3… but it is a GOOD game.
You have access to a Monster Bash machine?
Such a Fun machine.
I am officially jealous of you now. 😉
Pinball’s gotten more expensive than it was in my day. Then again, in my dad’s day, the machines would pay out on accumulated games. That sounded like a whole lot more fun.
Satisfaction now comes with lots of lights and stuff that move and bells and whistles galore!
Hey, Brig!
Ever hit the Penny Arcade on Main Street in Disneyland? When I worked for the Mouse back in the early 80’s they had arcade games that ran from a nickel to a quarter. My favorite there was Frogger. But the Penny Arcade also had non-gaming games. The electricity one where it sent increasing volts through your arms. A bunch of actual Nickelodeons, showing old time flip movies. Stuff like that.
Meanwhile, over in the Starcade in Tomorrowland, where everything was cutting edge and a quarter, my favorite was Tempest.
Ah, yes… the Mouse era. I worked in Candy Palace, very near the Penny Arcade. There wasn’t much in there that I remember. Some old time flip film viewfinder-ish machines. The arcade in Tomorrowland did have lots of top notch video games. On my last trip probably 8-ish years ago we dropped quarters into the pinball games. Somethings never cease to be cool.
I recall the best response I ever heard to the ‘vegan stink’ crowd: “Lady, the only vegan thing in my restaurant is the water.” It’s what you get when you go into a steakhouse…
I would think so… who knows what’s in the cornbread.
