Pinball Wizard
Written by Suzanne on February 2, 2010A friend of mine turned me on to this cool link about the history of pinball. For 11 Things You Didn’t Know About Pinball History via Popular Mechanics click here.
I had no clue it was once illegal. Who knew it was taboo? Speaking of who, how about The Who…
Here we go with some Pop Culture Syndrome synapses. Doesn’t Pete Townshend from The Who look a lot like Schmendrick the magician from The Last Unicorn?

I was never a pinball wizard but I wasn’t too shabby either. TILT!
If I could have any pinball machine in the world what would it be? I think I’d go with an Edward Scissorhands theme, or maybe Gilligan’s Island.
How about you? What would your ultimate pinball machine look like?

I’ve always loved playing pinball and really got into pinball machines a few years ago. I was surprised too when I found out that they used to banned and were considered “gambling machines”.
My ultimate pinball machine already exists – The Addams Family – I just love it! If you haven’t played one yet, you should.
