i missed everything that happened here... but i take it there was some weeping and rending of garments and gnashing of teeth.
jay are you 86'd from goodfoot or just not working there? i know it's a drag to feel like you were let go over petty reasons, but it would be cool if you'd come out and play ball anyway. i'm not sure if i'm going to make it (i have like 5 things going on that night and am trying to figure out what to do,) so there's a chance i won't narrowly edge you out of the tournament on my bonus this time... although star wars is in it, so you could end up facing my ramp wrath.
personally i'm picking eric to win this one because of his familiarity with JM, but anything could happen.
hope no one's feelings are too hurt. i took a chill pill recently, it's been doing wonders. now my major disappointment in life is that i've spent enough precious cash playing mr. mahaffey's monster bash machines to put a down payment on one, and i'm still plateauing at about 500 mil. i can't hit the right ramp consistently to save my life, and i noticed, at least on the one at green dragon, that the left flipper appears to be calibrated differently than the right. could this be my problem? doubtful, but now it's in my head that the sweet spot on the left flipper is smaller than the right, and most of my drains come from shots missed on that side (i.e. deflections that go to the slingshots, or into the scoop instead, which still kicks out SDTM half the time.) when i got that billion at the show, it was like a walk in the park. shots were smooth, you could roll pass, i felt like i could hit things at will. i only played one game. the ones at billy ray's and green dragon i'm concentrating the whole time and they just continually shit on my face. ugh.
