I love that arcade!

I took the kids there just last spring. Great place. I might have to go check out the fest.

CRABBY - you should totally submit your awesome creature resume and get a job as a judge!!! How cool would that be?





lovely town

Ohhhhhh, I'm not just a creature guy, you know. But I would do it! If I could fit it in I would totally do it.

You've been to that arcade!!!!!!!!!!!! That place is so frickin' awesome. I'm glad you took your kids there because those kinds of places are getting hard to find, you know. Those old-school arcades.

Old mechanical devices fascinate me. I bought one of those miniature replicas recently, one of those older Coca Cola bottle vending machines with the slim rectangular door you could see the bottles behind. Every gas station used to have one of these, in the 70's. I've been staring at this replica and just going "Uhhhhhhh.......oh my God! Oh my God!" Because I haven't seen one of these machines in like a million years or something.

The best arcade,by far, is just outside of Colorado Springs in the town of Manitou Springs. It's still called the Penny Arcade and there are some old nickle movies and dime baseball games. Really cool, you'd love it - tons of old mechanical games.

and did you eve see the Musee Mechanique in San Francisco? It's gone now, but it was over by the Sutra Baths and it was FILLED with amazing mechanical games and exhibits, most of which operated on nickels and dimes.

Oh no, I have never been to those other places. I have been to the Penny Arcade in Disneyland! I believe all their penny machines still run on pennies, haven't confirmed this recently, though!

Bigbear is cool, but we have surpassed Bigbear, bested Bigbear. Bigbear is a fond scrapbook memory we look upon, and then we say, "Man, we used to be crazy back then! Ahhh."

What are we talking about again?
