Got it on my first try, actually. :D I have a natural talent for claw machines- I can tell at a glance if a given prize is winnable or not just by looking at the machine (though a lot depends on claw strength and size, too; even loose prizes won't be picked up by a weak or too-small crane), and I have a pretty good win-lose percentage on them. I can even win on UFO Catcher machines, which only have two-pronged claws arranged like this < >, though those take me a LOT more tries. I did once get a Spider-Man doll on my first try from one, though.
And one nerdy skill that we share. I got a stuffed santa from the machine at the mall last month. The kids also wanted me to try for the football (in the all ball, various teams) machine, but it was out of order.
I would've had Santa on first try if my 5-year old hadn't pushed the stick over while I was using and the thing timed out, making me miss my mark. No machine I've encountered had PR dolls though. I'd play for a Bridgey!
And...the way it's set up in the pic...it looks like a PR man-shrine. I see pics of Chris and Matt there. Hee!
Well, at least I'm not alone! I can't play machines too often or else I'll amass too big a collection of toys. *lol* My favorite prizes that I've gotten so far are a small collection of Simpsons dolls- big ones of Marge and Ralph Wiggum, and small ones of Homer, Bart and Radioactive Man.

You are quite correct! Matt got put up after he responded to my letter, and Chris found his way there after ChrisViolette.net went back up. Sigh. WHY DOES MATT HAVE TO BE MARRIED? I've heard more than once that Chris is gay, too (one of the players at FH, who's a gay guy, said that Chris set off his gaydar the second he saw him onscreen the first time *g*), though I have no idea if it's true or not. And honestly, as long as he's purty it don't make a fig of difference to me. ;)

Wow, that sounds like such a pathetic skill. XD
