Please pardon me if I misunderstand, but you need a city to get bonus points for its souvenir. Your comment reads like you're saying that the first WOW is not worthwhile, when it certainly is... after that, it's worthless other than the possible easter egg Tarek mentions (which I didn't know...

Thanks, v.e.! So you've started RS... I'm curious what you come up with.

That's not even the best beer movie.

They both have I Can't Drive 55, according to their flyers & IPDb. http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=5093&picno=28853&zoom=1 http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=5120&picno=29981&zoom=1

I think this method actually might make PF more interesting... :) I enjoyed PF when it was new... it's kind of an easier version of Cyclone. Then I hated it. I don't remember why. From the late 1980's Williams, I'd rather see Grand Lizard, Millionaire, Space Station, F-14 Tomcat, Banzai Run...

Time to get ready for the second PC tourney. The tables are, as listed in the last newsletter, - Safe Cracker - Space Shuttle (again) - Whirlwind - Firepower - Victory (again) - Haunted House (again) - Flight 2000 - Junk Yard That's right, three of last month's tables were I guess just so...

You got a problem with mustard? Guys! Let's have a picnic!

Well, I pasted the box office top 10's for 1971 and 2014 above :). My claim is about the movies that Americans actually watch, weighted by # of times watched (which is roughly box office, I think) and that the quality of such has gone down markedly since about 1970-1995 or a bit later. I...

And thus it also goes by 3's and 4's, and 6's, 7's, 8's, ..., thus all nonzero (mod 5) integers, in either direction! :) Thanks for the tip. I haven't yet tried to predict the next one, and I think I have gotten the same value on the display a very few times, but it seems be helping me get...

After the bacon and beans you need some dessert, like I am sure that Dedpop enjoys this tasty treat.

Tweetsie Railroad is still around? I went there a few times as a kid... well I lived in Raleigh in the 1990s, but drove all over the Triad and SE NC looking for pinball action, which was mega-abundant in the Triangle. I don't know anything about that area now, though. I suppose you've looked...

When I want UK food I always get

That means you don't live in Asheville, Charlotte, or Grandy.

Star Trek's backglass is beautiful. The playfield looks nice too, and maybe a little more interesting than most 1977-1978 tables. (I couldn't find a better big playfield image quickly... would like a link to one. It looks lovely in the video.)

They're probably more fun to play than they are in TPA... though Gorgar is about as much fun as any TPA table. The very few times I've found good-condition 1970's machines, like Wizard, I've played them every chance I could... maybe I need to move next door to a pinball museum.

This one has a spectacular backglass, and a playfield that looks fun but not as beautiful as S&S.

Golly, this one is beautiful... ...doesn't look much fun, though.

Fair enough... my 1971 was cherry-picking, though 2014 was not, of course, it's just last year. So which years from (say) 1970-1995 had a worse top 10 than 2014? If the quality is equal on average, half of the years 1970-1995 have a worse top 10, so it won't be hard to choose a year. Or if...

So you think the top 10 movies of 2014 are as good as the top 10 of 1971?

Candy 2000 is my future wife, so I guess you better include me in her family.
