What do you have to do to get a cab inside the house?

Ok for those that are single get stuffed.......


For those that have a "significant other"  i.e wife, g/f , mom (lol) what have you had to promise (or do) to be allowed to bring a cab into the house and out of the shed?


For me the first one just migrated into the tv room because i was "spending too much time away from the kids in the shed".

Now it seems if i landscape the front yard i can have a whole room to set up as a games room.  This is great, the only issue we are in a drought here in OZ and cant water the garden EVER so it's a little hard to "landscape". (hmm I wonder if she thought of that and is just messin with my mind)

The other issue will arise if She ever looks at how much pinball machines sell for on ebay here.


But it got me to wondering,

What have you lot have had to do?

Well I know I had to go threw hell and back to get my mame project started.  My mom had no idea what I was talking about until and I had to explain it for about 2 months.  The millipede cabinet was a lot easier.  Still a trip to hell and back though.  This is not a hobby for a junior in high school now is it. :angry:

I don't know what you are talking about.  I wear the pants in this family. :laugh2:



well... I wear them when she says I can.

Oddly, my wife recently pointed to an empty Golden Tee cab on Craigslist and said that I could get it if I put a joystick with with a pink glowing handle on it.  I didn't get the cab because it was already snatched up by the time we saw it, but I would have lived with a pink joystick if it meant I could have a full size cab in our apartment.  When she asked what the charge on the card was for an LEDwiz and some LEDs I could have said she told me to also.  Seemed like a good deal to me.  The funny part is that her requirement for having the cab was a pink joystick and she probably won't play it more than twice anyhow.

Of course just because you manage to get it in the house without too much of a fight doesn't' mean that you won't have to do eleventy million new things because "you got that arcade contraption."

I suppose it's worth it for a good hobby right?

Later,

At least when its your folks you have to convince you probably have your own bedroom. Things like snakes/lizards bizzare stuff from the dump used to just appear in my bedroom...   what mum didn't know couldnt bite her.


Now I have to share my bedroom and i garantee that there is nothing i could do to get a cab in there.... i asked already. The answer involved something to do with the bedroom useage and chioce of one or the other.
