I've posted a disgusting poop picture below, basically for my brother. Seriously. It's nasty.
Turn away now, while you still have the chance.
Still here?
Consider yourself warned.
We have a Pachinko machine. According to Wikipedia, a Pachinko machine is a "Japanese gaming device used for amusement and gambling. A pachinko machine resembles a vertical pinball machine, but with no flippers and a large number of relatively small balls. The player fires a ball up into the machine, controlling only its initial speed. The ball then cascades down through a dense forest of pins. In most cases, the ball falls to the bottom and is lost, but if it instead goes into certain pockets, more balls are released as a jackpot."
Each Pachinko machine has a theme. Ours has a "Star Wars" theme.
Neat, huh? I made this delightful purchase for Hubby several years ago for Father's Day. It has been a source of fun and entertainment for our family and friends for quite some time, without incident. Until last weekend...My brother came from Dallas to visit for a couple of days. He had business in central California to tend to, and drove down to see the folks and spend some time with us as well. While he was visiting us, he decided to play a little pachinko. No problem. Plug it in and play.
Did I mention that there's a little basket at the bottom of the machine to catch discarded balls?
The machine uses hundreds, if not thousands of these small metal balls, and as long as you keep the basket in place while you are playing, there won't be a problem with the balls falling out onto the floor.
Apparently Bro didn't realize that, and removed the basket mid play to refill the reservoir with balls. Balls fell out and went everywhere! We have tile in our family room, so the balls bounced and rolled in all directions. Nice.
We spent a considerable amount of time gathering the spilled balls from every nook and cranny. Bro continued to play, remembering now to LEAVE THE BASKET IN PLACE, and all was well with the world.
Until yesterday.
Apparently, one of the pups found a ball that we'd missed.
Nice.
Again, with the old adage of "what goes in, must come out." Thankfully this "passed through" without a problem.
Thanks Bro!

Wow, that IS gross. And funny at the same time. Glad it wasn't anything hazardous!
Yep, that was pretty gross, but still, I couldn't resist! Who's the crazy one???? :)
That was too funny(even tho gross at the same time!) When I was first reading it I thought OMG!!! I rememeber that Pachinko machine in your garage way way back in the day!!!! Then I realized this is a new one you were referring to. Didn't you have one when we were teens in your parents garage? What ever happened to it?
