I'm trying to get stuff written and ready for Wednesday and particularly Thursday, a day I don't expect to be functional at all, so sorry, all I have for you right now are pictures. Oh, also a chance to tell you What's Going On In Olive and Popeye? Is Olive Oyl dead? She's not dead, but she has been more solid in the past.

Un-auctioned games being loaded up. The poster offers prices for the tables; for example, for the Alvin G Soccer Ball? $4,500 or best offer. Or two thousand bucks for a Target Alpha. Bally's Mr and Mrs Pac-Man, one of the games to make Namco ask Midway, ``Wait, did we actually license that?'', looks like it's listed at $2,500.

[personal profile] bunnyhugger racking up the day's fourth-highest score as she plays The Godfather. Nearly six million points, and on a Jersey Jack game where the scoring's by single-digits; who's going to match something like that?
