Notable quotes
“That big home win puts them one point ahead of Reston Pinball in the standings. No quarters for Laundrie.”
“I would rather play fourth. I can play any one of these games better than the three of you. It's a really difficult place to defer.”
“if it's $10 for the season and this is your only meet of the season I say pay $10 and you're prize eligible”
“It turns out there's a new Harvest 2026 glass that we just heard about last week”
“I got home after the sun came up and I slept a good chunk of Sunday away”
