bluegargantuaHi,
My world has just gotten a little less happy.
Good Times Emporium is closing!
Apparently, their landlord said -- "We're putting in a furniture store. You've gotta be out by June 30th."
Words cannot express my sadness...well, actually they can.
Good Times Emporium is an arcade/sports bar/pool hall/laser tag/go kart track all under one huge roof. It's a delightfully ghetto place where they have children's birthday pizza parties at 11pm at night.
It also has skeeball.
You know, skeeball. Bowl a little wooden ball down a lane, it pops up and you try and get it into a high-scoring hole, you get tickets based on your overall score? Skeeball. Good Times has lots of skeeball and a wide selection of cheap, tacky crap you need a million prize tickets to claim.
Skeeball is also a the ultimate tool of seduction. If I take a girl out to play skeeball, I'm eventually going to bed with her. Maybe not that very date, but eventually. It makes perfect sense really -- if you're the kind of girl who likes playing skeeball, you've got a fun, playful streak that complements mine and when two fun, playful people have exhausted the entertainment in skeeball...they come up with other things to do.
Man, now I totally need to take a bunch of girls out to play skeeball with me before Good Times closes.
