Title: Wilma is very upset with Fred
Post by: bbtuna on September 29, 2008, 05:07:29 PM
Barney told Fred he thought it would be a great idea for those nights they weren't rock bowling but once Wilma got word on how much Fred spent on the thing, she went through the roof

Fred and Barney are going to have a blast with the guys from the Rock Quarry - Fred may even get some extra points with Mr Boulder if he invites him over for a little Table Rocker or foosrock as they call it

you would have to get a logging druck to move the thing which would cost you more than a penny so by the time you got it home you would for sure would be looking at over 3k

this table would still be a joy to play...! 

I wonder if we'd be busting our knuckles every time we jammed the rod forward to the far wall??

Or getting splinters, at least?  And carrying this thing around would probably make one drop a log.

bbt,

How's this thing fixed for termites?  Is it varnished or maybe just stained?

killa,

don't know but if I had the room and money and had a foosball table collection, it would be in the collection along with the bathtub table that was posted a while back

http://www.eleventhegame.com/_press/11_thebeautifulgame_lores_6.jpg

here are a couple other totally unique tables for the serious collector

these last 3 tables are from the same website that brings you some other crazy stuff - here are a couple of my favorites
the $100,000 Pool Table http://www.ballertoys.com/game-tables/custom-pool-tables/martinbauer-custom-designer-hand-made-pool-billiards-table.html
and the $67,000 Party in a Box http://www.ballertoys.com/fun-technology/mobile-party-machines/international-dance-party.html
Exotic Car Furniture which is a bargin in comparrison http://www.ballertoys.com/unique-furniture/billiard-tables/exotic-car-furniture.html
and what is this doing in among the things on this website I will never know - I love the feature that you can take it down "when not in use" very funny http://www.ballertoys.com/home-accessories/ceiling-mirrors/ceiling-mirror.html

I have seen other cool tables over time but these are the ones I could find quickly

when I was young, I managed a game room that had tables that were lit up from under the table top (and so they were played in the dark), the playfield was translucent, there was plexiglass over the top (so you could not reach into the playfield), and there was a digital counter so if a ball crossed the goal mouth it automatically counted up the score...you got a ball for each score and after a team reached 5 you stopped getting balls..so, if I skunked you then we only get the 5 balls

my first tournament ever was on that table and I won shooting a push...it was a big day :P

never seen the table since and I wonder what happened to them, very unpopular because you didn't automatically get 9 balls

other cool tables????
