CFF “GRAND CHAMPION” REIGN OF TERROR CONTINUES.
You deeply want to be like this kid.
Three CFF members have been on a Grand Champion Raid of Portland establishments recently.
Our newest member, Drop Shot, made it his goal to GC ten machines in ten days. He completed his megatask list yesterday: Elvira and the Party Monsters, Who Dunnitt, Medieval Madness (twice), Taxi, Scared Stiff, Star Trek, Indiana Jones (Stern), Spiderman, Dark Knight, and Monster Bash. Congratulations Drop Shot. You have serious skills. I am shaken and awed.
DDT has also been completely ripping some Pins this month. In the last 11 days, he has Grand Champed so many machines that he can’t even keep track any more.
Most notable, however, was the recent accomplishment of Danny Backglass. Backglass Grand Champed FIVE MACHINES yesterday. He put up freakishly high scores on Addams Family, exhausted hero mode on Spiderman, spit-shined Elvira and the Party Monsters, battled a crippled Fish Tales and, in one of the finest examples of Pinflippery I have ever witnessed, Backglass doubled the Grand Champion on Black Knight 2000 in a 40 minute Battle Royale against the Knight.
The Black Knight might be feeling a little saddlesore today, because Backglass completely ripped it a new asshole. In 20 years of playing BK2K, Danny achieved his highest score ever by pounding out 37,466,370 points. I challenge anyone to beat this score, it will take a recessive autistic gene lodged somewhere in your DNA to do it.
Tourn-o-meet-ing-a-ment Time, Sunday 10/26
You deeply want to be like this kid.
8 PM the Alleyway Bartopia 2415 NE Alberta.
I propose we meet here, but let the discussion begin. If that’s not happening, I’m still planning to rock tournament land and win my dues for the evening.
In other news:
Green Dragon now has 4 machines and will be getting a 5th ASAP. MB, Batman, Star Wars, and Arabian Nights. We have GC on 2 of the 4 machines but there are some familiar competitors poking their noses where they don’t belong (the backglass…)– VAN, OOO, POO to name a few. Let’s take back the night and support both these places being active and getting more pins!
I know this schedule could interfere with the usual 10-2 meeting schedule, so please comment either in the comments section of this post, or the events section of the message board. thanks!
Benefit show for Combo! Thurs. Oct. 9 - Ground Kontrol
John Combo had an on-the-job accident a lil’ while ago, and he ended up with all kinds of stuff broken in his leg, plus… no more job! Thanks jerks. So we’re holding a benefit show to help him with medical bills.
It’s taking place this Thursday, Oct. 9, at Ground Kontrol. There will be bands, a DJ, and lots of pinball! Everything helps, so please come on by. And tell your friends. It will be a fun show, and it’s for a good cause.
