Its a Canadian thing...
My wife can't understand it either, she'd much rather I had a fooseball table than the bubble hockey. She's dutch, though, so its not surprising that she'd far rather watch soccer than hockey.
Can't say that I've ever seen the puck go dead in one of these either, but just about any game I've seen played usually required that spectators stand back 3 or 4ft lest they end up getting whacked by one of the players flailing arms.

I dunno ... they were far more popular in the US when I lived there, but maybe that had to do with the timing (not all that long after the 80 Olympics). I've always wanted one and just need to either chip through the project list some more or find the ultimate project score (came close a couple of years ago).
As for Ummon not getting it -- remember that he didn't used to "get" the big, goofy (or was it intimidating?) boxes with excessive artwork either. :P
EDIT: Oh yeah -- awesome haul! :applaud:
