I post on Craigslist that I buy pinball machines..... I often get an email back. Sometimes, I just wonder.
Unedited:
Do you work on them?
Yes, but I don't do service calls, too many factors
No a freind of mine used to work on them back in the 60s and 70s he really enjoyed it
Wasn't me. You looking for someone? I know a guy named Alan would fit that bill
No you misunderstood me. My freind used to repair pin balls back in the 50s and sixtys. I really likes it I thought if you need some tech advice he probably would be some great help. He still talks foundly of it. Hes retired and he would love to work on a pin ball machine again I am sure
(Me trying to be nice again) I'm not very good at EM games at all! I've got a Royal Flush I'm working on right now that won't start properly.
And what does that have to do with pin ball machines? I was talking about pinball machines you been sippin the bong water again?
Weirdo.....

speling inkorecklee is kool -NAUGHT!
I've always been a little annoyed by the butchering of words especially in businesses or web sites, things like Cheez Fries, Quik-E Mart, EZ Wash and things like that that save 1 or 2 letters and make it terrible to look up in your GPS. "No, that's Cheese with a Z... and no E". Oh oh oh!!! No wonder!
Bad but I'm getting used to it is the Text Speak. UR instead of You are, cya instead of see ya, fine I guess. There's something to be said about typing with your thumb.
What I don't get and will not accept is the combination of the two plus the added bonus of laziness to capitalize and spell check. Most PCs these days as well as even cell phones have SPELL CHECK in them, why some people think something like the following is cool versus what I see, and that's a lack of education and pure stupidity. The following is an actual ad:
unusual pinball machine - $200 (in galt)
Location: its n galt
