In 1976, champion player Roger Sharpe stepped up to a pinball machine in a Manhattan courtroom. The New York City Council had convened to consider lifting the city’s ban on pinball―a game that had been outlawed since 1942 for its supposed connections to gambling and organized crime. Sharpe was there to prove that, unlike a slot machine, pinball wasn’t a game of chance designed to fleece its players―it was a game of skill that required a measure of patience, coordination, and control. To prove his point, he proclaimed that he would launch his ball into the center lane at the far end of the playfield―much like Babe Ruth famously pointing to the fences. Sharpe pulled back the plunger and released, and the fate of this industry and art form hung in the balance.

Cela fait vingt-cinq ans que Hickum Looney vend du savon au porte-à-porte. Vingt-cinq ans qu’il tente de remporter le concours de vente du mois d’août et qu’il voit la Cadillac, le voyage à Disney World et les deux mille dollars en cash lui passer sous le nez, au profit du Chef, le créateur de l’entreprise qui remet son titre en jeu tous les étés et empoche la mise à chaque fois. Mais cette année, grâce à une Rencontre aussi improbable que miraculeuse, il gagne. Comment aurait-il pu se douter que c’était le début de l’enfer?
Tiki the westie dog takes on multiple personas including old Broadway actors, Aladdin as in One Thousand and One Nights and Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail.
