Guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Convenience store up the street installed a new claw machine last year. Usually just lots of stuffed animals and whatnot. Last week, they started putting in these DC dolls. I'm really fucking good at claw machines. Already got Superman and Hal Jordan. Should have a full Justice League within the next month or so.

James D. Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I used to be awesome at claw machines until they rigged them all with claws that couldn't grasp a fucking Kleenex if they had glue on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 All claw machines have a yellow box inside, which serves as a sort of dip switch, setting the claw's strength and how often the machine is set to pay out (ex. 1 in every 20 attempts). There is some luck and skill involved with weak claw settings, but most of the time, it's just a matter of knowing the patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 My first baseball column is almost to 10,000 views. I've submitted another one for Yahoo's approval, and hopefully it will be up by Monday. Thanks again to everyone who read it, shared it, "liked" it, or even just clicked the link. It means a lot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I love my flaky ass friends. One of them backed out of an apartment lease with another friend, and barring things going horribly wrong, I may have just secured an apartment for $375/mo with everything but electricity and internet.

Venneh Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well, it's official. As of Monday, barring me being rejected for whatever reason (not likely), I have a place to live for the next year, and if all goes according to plan, the entire time that I'm in grad school, too.

Molly Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 It was actually kind of tame. I did drink like, 5 PBRs and smash some cans on my head, but that was about it for stupid shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
