Fringineering: The Crane Game

I pretty much rock at the Crane Game.

The “Crane Game” or “Claw Game”, for the fortunate few who have never been to Denny’s, consists of an enclosed glass closet full of toys, usually stuffed-animals, and a mechanical claw hanging from the ceiling. Inserting money grants you an allotted time frame to position the claw over your desired toy. The claw drops, closes, and most likely fails to grasp your prize. Your child cries, and your girlfriend leaves you.
