good luck wiith a claw machine

When Bai and I went to see Star Trek for my second time and her third time, we tried our luck with a few claw machines in front of the ticket vendor. I've never been able to grab anything ever using these machines. After a couple of tries however, I got lucky and manage to grab 2 prizes with the claw. This particular machine had Hanna-Barbera plush characters in it. I won a wally gator and a snagglepus. Couldn't decide which to keep (actully wanted to give them both to Bai, since that's the custom in Japan where I lived, guys win the prizes and give them to their girlfreinds.) After flipping a coin, I gave her wally and I kept snagglepus.

Speaking of Hanna-Barbera, It's been a really long time since I watched anything of that type of animated show. I can remember how funny and relaxed the charecter of snagglepus was with his cool demeaner and sly wit. This prompted me to look up some youtube clips.

On the topic of claw machines, I couldn't help but reminice the hilarious scene from Pixar's Toy Story where Buzz and Woody got stuck in a claw machine with a bunch of rubber aliens. These 3D animated films have come a long way since. I remember the most recent one I saw was Wal-ee last summer in Geneva with Bailey. Gosh, I've seen a lot of movies with Bailey.
