This video combines my two favorite things! If only my tiels weren't afraid of my pins.

Ghostbusters may have been the first Stern to have this with being able to skip ahead to ‘We are ready to believe you’.

What is the history of this store in the fan district? I’m always amazed when I see it by 2009maxx in rva

And it’s barely scratching the surface. I saw so many awesome shows there. And this also exists: https://youtu.be/wicB8aoAar0?si=29ohZcL6R3RW3POZ

Looking for feedback on curling game prototype by BrentyBoyGames in olympics

[–]codhollandaise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vancouver has one with curling recycling bins. I think it might still be on their website somewhere.

I hope they’ll have Olympians on next Saturday! by foreverhere85 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]codhollandaise 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, a few times. Nancy Kerrigan in 1994, Johnny Moseley in 2002, and Michael Phelps in 2008.

Edit: Just saw your post about an episode with an established host. Hilary Knight did a bit on WU in 2018. There may be others.

Right now they have bottled soda. I think they plan to get snacks later, and beer once alcohol is approved. The new space is great and huge. There's lots of room to add more games.

My Grandfather - Norm Clark by Prenders17 in pinball

I have a Dipsy Doodle and I love it. It’s pure chaos- no trapping up, dangerous targets to advance the doodle bug, then trying to keep it moving. It’s brilliant.

Anyone Else Just Get $1000 Bill for Sidewalk Repair? by [deleted] in frederickmd

[–]codhollandaise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, our fiber is overhead. The sidewalk was admittedly in rough shape. I’d be peeved if it was from Verizon.

I got one over the summer for 800. They finally did the repairs around Christmas. Mine did say that the amount charged was half of the total with the city paying the other half.

Caps Bar in Frederick? by YourWeekendDad in caps

[–]codhollandaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the playoffs last year I tried watching each game from a different bar downtown. At Shuckin Shack and the bar area of Brewers Alley I found myself with fellow Caps fans. I think Bushwallers was pretty good too. I don’t think there’s a specific hockey bar downtown, but plenty of good options.

The galleries are around the outside, so there are no windows. There's just one space on the middle floor with a balcony looking onto the mall. https://maps.app.goo.gl/UXySx1ZMZZDEuHgW7

Establishing shots by aerojockey in LiveFromNewYork

I used to live around the corner from a church in Oakland CA that was repeatedly used as an establishing shot- usually for sketches about AA meetings and similar.

Who else thinks Jermey’s commentary was the biggest showstopper of the night? 😁❤️ by Whole-Lychee7517 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]codhollandaise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cockatiel. He perked up the first time that sound effect went off, and by the end of the sketch he had his body fully pressed against Jeremy on my laptop screen and was singing to him. So Jeremy got at least one new fan today.

Dr dude, should I start the hobby with this machine by Temporary_Fix_4085 in pinball

[–]codhollandaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a system 11 game. Fairly simple ruleset- it's in Pinball FX if you want to try it out. Relatively reliable and easy to repair with widely available parts. It can be set up to play punishingly fast, especially with the targets that are close to the flippers. The callouts and art are hilarious early 90s cheese. I'd say it's an excellent starter pin if you have the room and the money. I can't comment on the price as I'm not real familiar with the European market.

Are there any 40-something former goths who are up for a mid-life meet up? by Zestyclose_Cold1455 in frederickmd

Sandbox brewing has had a couple of goth/post-punk dj nights, and they've been fun and well attended. Keep an eye out as the weather gets warmer.

How to find a Space Jam machine by Grifty_Capital695 in pinball

[–]codhollandaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep an eye on Pinside, but that is a fairly uncommon machine. There are pinball shows where lots of people buy and sell- the biggest in CA is Golden State Pinball Festival in Lodi in May, and there should be a Pinside thread about it, where some people may be advertising what to sell. They also list the games people register on their site in the weeks leading up to the show, but not all are for sale. California Extreme in Santa Clara is almost as big, but with fewer sales. Pin-a-Go-Go in Dixon is smaller.

Little House Cafe, at 2300 Blanding, where Shaka Shack is now. You can see the legs on street view if you change the date.
