My bride: Did you hear about Stern's new #pinball? They're making a Rush table.
Me: ... Huh.
My bride: Yeah, they're not challenging their reputation there.
Me: I'm looking forward to the 27-minute minimum guaranteed play time.

@Felthry I could've written that clearer. It's a pinball table whose theme is the band Rush. They're a prog-rock band, prone to very long, complicated, high-concept songs, with some pieces that take up the whole side of a vinyl album (so around 20 minutes; 27 minutes is an exaggeration).

A lot of pinball machines are themed to bands, with a stereotype that they're bands that older white guys enjoy (eg, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith). So *another* older-white-guy table fits the type.
