Ever gone offroad? Get stuck?
I was in charge of driving when we had season tickets for the Chiefs (often the chefs back then). I drove my car like it was a Suburban - took it over the curb, through the grass, and down the curb to get out of the parking lot. Once even went back into the parking lot and then back out in a spot further back - anything to try to beat the traffic out. Does that count? :D

This is the theme for Trunk or Treat. I have a 4.5 foot Snoopy that I put in one of those pumpkin leaf bags to be the great pumpkin and surround it with little fake pumpkins.

Pretty sure I learned how to do this from devildeac =))
Bzzzt.

There are too many words in your post.

You did *not* learn what I told you last PM when I said one word per post, or, even better, one letter per post.

Pretty darn awesome. Technically not a "home" arcade, but we had a game room at my dad's business with Joust, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Mrs. Pac-Man, Centipede, pool tables, air hockey, and a couple of pinball machines. Probably some others I don't remember.

I was just at a friends beach home and they had a “real” arcade machine that had 30 games on it- Galaga, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Pac Man....

It. Was. Awesome.

I'm still in the process of building one, at least the cabinet. I've even got a coin drawer to go with the console and monitor. (Painting has gotten in the way.) But I have over 3,000 games at my fingertips. :D

This one is a Pandora 7. Not the exact same as the one in the link, but very close. I totally want to do a Raspberry Pi, but I've always got projects on my shelf getting pushed to the side by painting...maybe after I put this one together.
