My History With Pinball

Rukia:
My second Tale from the Flipper story...
 
I should have known...I really should have known.  I've known about it since I met him, about his pinball obsession.  But I thought that since he had gotten rid of all his old worn out t-shirts that had stupid sayings on them, such as the old Wendy's “Where's The Beef?”, and “Official Breast Inspector” that he decided to grow up and be a responsible human being...especially since he asked me, no wait, nix that, begged me to marry him. 
Our wedding night hotel room was a gift from my new father-in-law, and was just the thing we needed to branch out on our new life as Mr. & Mrs.  Little did I know what was in store for me when we reached our honeymoon destination: Camp Sokol in New Buffalo Michigan, where his family had been going for decades.  We had decided that is where we would honeymoon since it was all we could afford and it was only a couple of hours away from where we lived.  Like any other bride, I dreamed that we would spend romantic moments at the beach and swim in Lake Michigan, and then have lunch, or dinner and maybe take a nice drive...or something romantic.  But no!  He found the Mario Brothers Pinball Machine in the recreation room and left me alone so he could play pinball!!!  THIS WAS A SIGN!  Anytime I went in there, all I could hear was “The bumpers Mario, the bumpers!”  Well then, I thought that if he was going to ignore me for Mario, then guess what he wasn't getting on his honeymoon!  Yeah, yeah...laugh it up!  He's really lucky that I didn't leave his corpse on top of Mario's, if you get my drift!
 
It's a joke to us now, the bumpers thing, and it was indeed a sign of things to come.  Look at him!  He's built a pincab of his own, and even as I type this, he's working on something pinball and ignoring me.  But sometimes I don't mind being alone. It gives me time to plan.  Plan what?  Well, never mind that now.  All is well.  Yes, that's the ticket...all is well.

at least you kind of tolerate pinball
 my gal hates them with a passion!
and everything pin related she actually thanked me for not going to the Allentown expo this year
since she said last year she was bored to tears!
 yeah she puts up with me building/playing as long as I don't ignore her while she is here!
 we don't live together (yet) so when she is over I put all pin stuff on hold
and for the past month she has been staying with me while her moms condo gets fixed up
so I didn't get a chance all month to play any pins much less work on them!
you two belong together by what I gather from your type of humor
same as me and mine but you like pins where my gal doesn't and that is tough to get around
 she also hates video games...how did we meet up you ask?
DATING sites! enough said we each were cruising the dating sites looking for that one special person
 when I got wind of her humor and it melded with mine!
 so we mesh in everything except pinball!!
