Tiki Pinball Deathmarch 2005!
Aloha.
I have returned from Cleveland with a 1973 Bali Hi pinball in above-average condition (the pinball, not me; I'm in below-average condition), a couple of books on arcade games, a box of ancient whiskey sour mix, and a yard of ale (thanks, Art!).
A trip report will follow as soon as I'm able to obtain a suitable donor for the ass transplant I'll be needing after sitting on it for close to 22 hours while making the 1451-mile roundtrip to Ohio, with stops in Ann Arbor and points in-between.
Any volunteers?
And here's special message for the state of Illinois: your toll road system SUCKS ASS!!!
Aloha.

I'd like to oblige you, as my ass is only a size larger, but I've got to conserve it for sitting on rock-hard synagogue seats this week. I know I'm getting old when I've been sitting on one of those for two hours and can't... get... up. Must... grab... alto in front of me! (It's Beth, so no worries.)

Heh! 22 hours sucks! Maybe you could have stuffed the pinball machine in the overhead compartment. ;)
I'm looking forward to a trip and pinball machine report.

You said it. How many guys do you know who're willing to give you their ass? Wait, don't answer that question!

Ask not for whom the road tolls; it tolls for thee.
I'm glad the trip went well and look forward to the trip recap with many photos!
I have to ask, why do you want a box of ancient whiskey sour mix?

Collin: it was a gift from my hosts in Ann Arbor.
