Today was the last session of this season for my pinball league. It's exciting to have found a group of people in Toronto that are excited by those little physics-boxes. Back in university, I started a pinball gang with a couple of my friends -- we were called the "Outlane Rejects." I even made a shirt with my high-score initials (RAG) printed on the front in a fake DotMatrixDisplay font. There wasn't /that/ much pinball in Fairbanks, but there were enough locations to make an evening of traveling between them. I remember once we played "Pinball for Tacos." It was very complicated. We played pinball, and the losers bought the winners tacos.

I remember another game we played that was a bit more elaborate. It was Zombie Pinball. Each player started out the night with three bite-sized Butterfinger bars, and then would attack other players by challenging them to a versus match. The loser would place an un-wrapped butterfinger on their arm, and the winner would bite it off -- flesh-devouring style. Something like that. Maybe there were experience points and level-ups too? Hmm. Maybe that was for another variation we never did.

Fun, fun times.

May your next outlane rejection be gentle.
