Now you have me wondering if the casinos and the arcades aren't owned by the same corporate entities. That'd be an interesting research project. Again, Wow.

I have not taken our kids into one since the days when they were young enough to enjoy just pushing the buttons while the machines did their demo display, believing that they were in fact playing it. Now they are old enough to know you HAVE TO PUT MONEY IN, I am never going back. And I am going to give them your e-mail address so you can explain why. That's okay, isn't it??Lothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949068764211292370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-53542095253631709292008-03-03T21:07:00.000-06:002008-03-03T21:07:00.000-06:00i would have played the sponge bob onei would have played the sponge bob oneKarla and Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323341050533086085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903922807992470992.post-38531062263078929182008-03-03T19:43:00.000-06:002008-03-03T19:43:00.000-06:00You are 100% correct.
