Christmas is coming! Christmas is...
« on: August 02, 2005, 12:55:34 am »
Well my wife is a Hallmark ornaments collector, much cheaper than my arcade obsession, and every year around this time the new ornaments are released.  This year she came home with a winner.  I hope you appreciate it.  It lights up and makes pinball noises when you pull back on the plunger.  A little plastic ball even shoots out when you let er go!

Enjoy...Geo
Please!  Give me the good news first!

Stores here start shoving Xmas down our throat in about October.

The greeting card shops here will start putting up fake Christmas trees before the jack-o-lanterns even come down.
