Ultimate Ski-Ball Champion

Karen and I went to Dave & Busters tonight because we felt like doing something different. We played an assortment of games and had a good time. Karen said that before we left she wanted to play some ski-ball. We both played 15 - 20 games. On my last game I won the Dave and Busters ski ball grand bonus prize for scoring over 450 (how's that for delivering in a crunch). I scored 490 and won over 1000 tickets. It took 5 mins before the machine could dispense all of the tickets. I was ecstatic raising my arms in victory, I still have a big smile on my face :) Luckily I was not paying too close attention to my score or how many throws I had left until I sank my 3rd 100 point ball which brought me to 440. That is when I turned to Karen and in a cool calm and collected manner said "You want to see something cool"? I threw my last ball, it is pretty tough not to get 10 points on throws, but I dropped it in the 50. It really was my night, and I did it !!!
