Boy, feels like forever since I recapped my humor blog around here, doesn't it? If you're not reading the RSS feed for it, you can catch up on things from here, including the end of one MiSTing and the start of a vintage old one.


Back to photographs. Here's some more from Pinball At The Zoo on the Saturday of the event, featuring real actual photographs of pinball happening.

Gathering around getting the instructions for the Women's Finals. [personal profile] bunnyhugger was annoyed she still had second seed, but at least that meant she was picking the games for her group.

[personal profile] bunnyhugger showing off her jacket while playing 4 Square, traditionally one of her pocket games and a table on which she's unbeatable. She was beaten.

The streamers were set up just to the side of the women's tournament bank here.

And there's the trophies for the top four finishers in the Women's Tournament; [personal profile] bunnyhugger took home first place last year and I was expecting her to repeat.

The winners' poster, signed by everyone who placed in all the tournaments. Among the sad things about [personal profile] bunnyhugger's first-round knockout was not getting to sign this.
