Hey ho all,take this w/ a grain of whateva yer favorite mineral is!

I'll keep 'er short and sweet...

Me heards through the rumour mill that Gene reneged on part of his
deal w/ James and the Aussie guys

Looks like maybe James did an end run on Gene while he was out
floggin' his wares at a show and carted off some of the tooling from
IPB underhandedly.

And just to add sumthin' to nothin!!!

It appears the Aussie guys tried to ship a container out of the USA
even though they owe james a whole lotta cash and Jimmie had to put
the kabosh on that via US customs at the last minute

Have a fun weekend fellas!
I'm ouuta here like Vladimir ';)

Expat says...

Ok, so what you are saying is that all of Wayne's enemies are fighting amongst
themselves and not getting along. Fair enough, you may be right.

But if you are in a pot/kettle mood how about telling us how your buddy Wayne's
remake project is progressing now? 'cause I have been hearing that has gotten
pretty entertaining lately as well. Like even the diehards that used to brag
about how we were all jerks and they were going to be unboxing their new MM soon
are all asking for refunds now, and the project is essentially over.

Here is a question for you: If Wayne really has no intention of building these
games is he really going to make every single investor ask for a refund, one by
one versus just declaring it dead and pre-emptively returning the money of the
people that had all that faith in him? Because that is really pitiful to treat
your fanbase that way, and a terrible way to run a business. imho of course.

For immediate release

AP: Billabong Australia.

A story out of Oz has shocked the pinball world and set it on tilt.
Gene Gene the Pinball Machine and the Dingo from Down Under have put
their greivances aside and joined forces to create a pinball like no
other ever built or concieved. Rumourhazzit the new game called Big
Bang Madness will be out in early spring and deposits are being taken
now.
Wayno says "He is not a bad guy for such a crusted scullet and I will
enjoy workin' him...I mean working with him" Gene Gene's comment was
short and to the point
" Bud's for life".
The new company Fun Coin and Token United Pinballs (FCTUP) will be
based out of Shanghai and the new pins are estimated to sell at a
price point of around $1,999.95 USD.

Gary Stern of Stern pinball had no comment.

More on this late breaking story as it unfolds.

APR from the Windy City

if you are the only ones who were not underhanded then I guess that
makes Gene underhanded (big call jimmy boy!) AND
the aussies are underhanded as well! (they are all descended from
convicts you know)

how about you come out of your bunker and stop throwing grenades, let

I'm not that good with these things, but Casey - are you located in
Australia? Your comments seem to suggest otherwise ("they are all
descended from convicts"), but your IP address suggests Australia.

Maybe someone can help me confirm?

Um, no, there was no "Casey" in this deal - a Mark and a Damien, and
no Casey anywhere.

The "Casey" that posted was a new user with a gmail address and an IP
that resolves to Australia, a new RGP name "Child.Pinball" and a
comment made to suggest the person posting was **not** an Aussie.

I understand someone has resolved the IP address to an individual and
if they decide to out that person so be it.

You say you have no horse in this race - MATE - it was YOU that fired

If you read Casey's post you'll notice that the context implies a
third person POV concerning the Australians/Criminals comment
At least it's pretty clear to me, granted I don't have those Secret

Ah, hmmm, yes, it was exactly that "third person" context that I
specifically alluded too - but I see you are having some difficulty
with "yer" comprehension, not to worry.

"Say WTF you mean or don't other at all" - Must be some form of secret

There used to be a pretty vocal group of other fans that weren't so friendly,

Pinball doesn't need any villains. I'm pretty sure I'd be fine with
Wayne, expat, and all the dwindling group of cronies to just give up
