The game may be over, but that's okay -- just press the start button again! Woot!

I've been keeping my eye on these things (on eBay) for a while, and I have been saving up my pennies to get one when someone in the area posted one for auction. (Local is better, because they're so heavy and bulky that they cost hundreds of dollars to ship.)

Anyway, a couple days ago I meant to put a low bid on this one just in case I happened to win it, but I accidentally clicked the Buy It Now button for the set price the guy had. I somehow then clicked through the confirmation button thinking it was confirming a regular bid, not a buy.

Anyway, his price was not totally unreasonable and it was only 41 miles away, so I rented a truck and Shelley helped me haul it back to the house.

Come on over and play -- but bring your quarters!
