I'm 19, and should be finishing up my first cab (a 3 sided cocktail) this weekend.

I still remember the days when I would look forward to my birthday because I knew at least one family member would give me 20 bucks.  I would ride my bike to the mall, which was a good ten miles away, walk into te dark musty room full of all those wonderful sounds and have the time of my life until I spent all the money I had...and in those days most everything cost a quarter to play and you would get 25 tokens for 5 bucks so it would last awhile.  I was also fond of 7-11 back when they stocked a couple arcade games.  We had about five 7-11's within a five mile radius so a friend and I would walk from one to the other munching on 7-11 hot dogs, slurpees, and we would feed our quarters into the machines.  Aaaah... the good 'ol days.  Jumping forward, I am now 32 about to turn 33 in July, I am married I own a house, two cars, five cats, and my baby is due next month.  I will never regain the 80's and the fun I had but the memories will always live on!

Hey, do you guys remember in about 86-87, 7-11 had a machine that would deep fry little boxes of french fries or little apple pies. You would open the box top and put it in a little door. Press start. And the machine would dump the fries into frying oil (God only knows how old). When it was done a basket would raise up and dump the fries back into the box and open the door. I remember playing Dragons Lair with a thouroughly scalded mouth.
MmmmmmmmmFrenchfries.....

If we go for the Latin thing, I really like pixels Latin "I poke badgers with sticks"
