Good little Robin Hood. That's the spirit. “I ran over to check and he was [inside the arcade claw game] passing toys out [to other kids] and eating some of the lollies.”
I know a guy, a writer, actually, Mark Finn, who grew up somewhere boring outside of Austin, Tx, and spent so much time playing the claw game that he has a method to beat it everytime. Without crawling in, even. No, he will not reveal even a hint about his method. Lotsa lotsa quarters, I figure, but I wonder if couldn't write book on it and recoup 'em. I sure as heck wonder how to beat the damn things.
