PC, Political Correctness, Politically Correct (Warning: Graphic Heavy)

Actually, the title has nothing to do with this post. I just wanted to keep the riff raff from Meta out of this thread.

Were you a kid once? Did you take hard earned money, change it into quarters, and put it into pinball machines? If so, do I have an auction for you.

Once upon a time, there was an amusement park in the Omaha area called "Peony Park." It was torn down years ago, but a collector bought all sorts of stuff from the park. Now he's auctioning some of it off, including a bunch of stuff I'd like for a theistic winter holiday that takes place after the solstice and prior to the New Year (how's that for PC?)

OK, not a pinball machine, but Mrs. OBD sighs appreciatively when she sees this photo



Daddy wants this one! (my banker likely has other ideas)



"Eight Ball Champ" in fairly good shape



"Singapore" is a 1930s vintage, wood rail pinball game



This would look very nice in my family room



..as would this

Anyway, I can't afford any of it, so I'll likely be headed to the Mall to go see Santa.
