    1. Remember, the trolls feed off your response. It's the attention, positive or negative, that they crave. Best to just ignore them.

  8. Dad had a pool table/record machine/pinball machine rental business in the late 70's and 80's. I was a teenager in the 70's and always had a roll of quarters in my pocket. I got real good with pinball and early video games.

  11. Right.
    Because they'll never shovel out stupid amounts of money to sit in front of something with loud noises and flashing lights for hours on end.

  12. When my wife and I married, my stepdaughter was 13. I had a pinball machine and she'd play for a while after school. When she started dating, and bringing boys home for dinner, we could easily tell which ones she really liked. They won. Otherwise, she ran up an embarrassingly high score (for the boys) while they struggled to keep up. We never saw the losers again.
