OT: Bullshitting at the Barbershop part deux

[Comeds]

Stay strong, my friend - I'm hearing it's going to be available in my neck of the woods in 2 weeks, I'll let you know how it turns out.

I think/hope I'm out of the woods now. Shot was about 1 pm yesterday. Around 1 am I woke up freezing/shivering and aching. Up a good portion of the night, and slept most of the morning. Feeling pretty good now.

So it really wasn't awful for too long.

Are you saying we can rap it up?

Not to mention the hard feelings when something gets broken...

when my inlaws sold their house and moved last year, we claimed the pinball machine in the basement. Free pizza (no ungodly Hawaiian pizza because that would be borderline slave labour conditions) worked on getting 5 of my sons hockey teammates to do the move. I supervised My son said he was like a temp agency and wanted a commission for getting the cheap labour though

It is Friday night after all...

My brother just got a pool table. He got a great deal but apparently they are a pain to move and there are specialized pool table movers. He didn't tell me numbers but said the move ended up costing more than the table. I don't blame him for paying it. It was going in a basement* and they carried it down, set it up, leveled it etc.


*if I got the call to help carry, I would of "had to work" or something. I cannot imagine getting one down his stairs

100%

Inlaws had a massive pool table right in the middle of that basement the pinball machine was in. We thought about taking it as we eventually will have the space (building an addition right now) but the thing has to be taken apart and i think the underlay is slate or marble or some stone and it has to be reassembled perfectly level. Need pool table installers to do that move and like you said not cheap at all.

Inlaws ended up leaving the pool table there for the new buyers who were ok with it. They have become friends and my FIL will go visit them every once and a while as they still get pieces of mail delivered sometimes. Pool table is still there and appears to be a staging area for new owners kids arts and crafts projects lol

I think I remember playing that game (late 70's/early 80's IIRC).
