Big Elvis and the pinball hall of fame


A few miles off the Vegas Strip there is an awesome little place called the pinball hall of fame, it has over 200 machines including south park, star trek, cyclone, adams family etc...also there are some non-pinball such as donkey kong, spy hunter, and ms. packman. We spent $5 in quarters and spent a few hours playing, it was a lot of fun I will absolutely make it back there. In this video, big elvis is singing a louis armstrong song what a wonderful world, and for me it is just great! Quick background on big elvis, this guy use to be close to 1000 pounds and he has up to now lost 550 lbs!! I think he sounds better then elvis.

Las vegas

v

We are in cool Las Vegas, Thursday it is going up to 111 degrees, Lori is not too Happy!
Anyway, we had a very good time at our convention. We got to meet Adam savage from Mythbusters, Penn & Teller (we actually heard teller speak). We also got to see Penn & Teller's show and it was awesome. Sunday we got to attend Linda and Calvin's wedding which the happy couple looked amazing. In the video clip the older guy is Jack Jones and he is telling a joke. (incidentally we saw his show as well)

Some of you may know that we are flying to Vegas tomorrow, however, because the name ROBERT SMITH is such a common terrorist name, the name has been placed on a "watch list" As a result of said watch list I can not use the little kiosk at the airport nor can I print my boarding pass from home. NO, because of this, when I flew home from Ireland I was detained by the TSA for questioning! I actually joked with the tsa agent that I should change my name to Muhamad..... she laughed and said "that would only make it worse"
