I'm kind of like the Invisible Boy from Mystery Men -- I'm only invisible when nobody is looking at me, not even me.
That back room at Vincente's is my favorite place to play pinball because I usually don't have to try at all to tune anybody out.
Except during that game of MM the other night -- there was this little seven year old Mexican boy standing so close to the machine watching me play I kept inadvertently punching him in the chin. I didn't say anything to him for like forty minutes, until I was maybe two troll hits away from lighting Battle for the Kingdom, and then I was like hey buddy could you step back just a little bit? The kid takes off like a frightened deer; game was over in under a minute.
...so I guess I'm saying I can only play pinball when there's a little boy in the room.
So much for a friendly topic...
