I will not be defeated

Remember a few months ago when I so righteously got the Top Score on the Ms. Pac-Man machine at the Golden Gopher?

If you don't remember, here's my score:


Well, last night I went back to the Golden Gopher and found out that I have been served. Someone has topped my score.

Check it out:

The gauntlet has been drawn. I will not be defeated.

YOU ARE GOING DOWN, anonymous Ms. Pac-Man player.

christy said...

Erik said...

I'm the Michelle Kwan of Erik's blog.

Erik said...

That's so tragic!

Whew, glad you're back to posting. I was begining to worry about you.

Erik said...

CHristy, that made me Laugh Out Loud so loudly!

Erik said...

Dave, thank you for worrying about me, I'm sorry, I have just been really busy, and this isn't even really a worthy post, but I had to post SOMETHING.

Erik said...

Okay, so the thing that Christy said that made me LOL so loudly is apparently in a different thread.

Different shmifferent, it doesn't matter, so long as you post.

Gauntlet has been thrown... right?

Erik said...

Erik said...

Bonnie, it has been brought.

Nothing to do with Ms. Pac-Man, but I just can't comment on my own blog. I dislike commenting anyhow, but then it's like I'm having some weird conversation with myself. Anyhow, when I get my arse to LA, you and Bon are totally on for seeing the movie. On video. Cause I can't get to LA until my children can clothe themselves and drive - I don't think my husband actually knows where they go to school.

christy said...

Oh my god, Erik! I totally forgot to tell you what I was going to tell you OB last night!!

Oh and I might be the Michelle Kwan of your blog. But you are the Michelle Kwan of Ms. Pacman.

Poor Michelle Kwan...I mean I really hope that someday if people ever say, "You are the Christina Bunner of ____" it's because they just did something really great.

Bonnie said...

Aw... Becca, you can come to LA sooner than that! Surely your husband has an idea where the kids go to school! Or maybe you'll have to visit while they're out of school on break? Oh, lord, no... that would kill him. Hee!

It's good to have goals...and the colors in your blog are mainly tow shades of green ( a split pea soup, and a forrest green). It was good seeing you last night, buddy!

Erik said...

Uma, when you said "whether you're into gossip or not," for a second I didn't realize that you were talking to all of my many blog readers, and I thought you were talking directly to me, and I was really mad that you wouldn't know whether or not I was into gossip, but then I realized that you were talking to the world as a whole and not to me specifically, so I calmed the fuck down and I stopped being mad at you.

Erik said...

Oh, and also, Uma, I didn't know about Brooke having her baby at the same time as TomKat having their baby until I read this comment on my blog and my first thought was that that's, like, proof that there is a God and God is really funny, and then my second thought was that I am SO not on top of my gossip lately like I should be.

Erik said...

I am NOT the Michelle Kwan of Pac-Man. I am going to perservere. I am going to come back. I will not give up.

(This comment is basically just a rehashing of everything that was said in this post.) (This was really a filler post, wasn't it?)

Erik said...

Boom Boom Becca, COME TO LA! Your hubby will just have to deal. Your kids will just have to deal. You can tell them to "Stick It!" because you'll be in LA with Bonnie and me watching "Stick It!" Which is "Worth It!"

Erik said...

Bonnie, we should kidnap Boom Boom Becca and make her come to the movie with us. What do you say?

Erik said...

Tyler! You commented!

It was great to see you too. Really good to see you. It has been way too long.

Oh, and thank you for the color clarification. I was in the right ballpark, right?

Bonnie said...

Re: TomKat and Brooke having kids within hours of one another (and them both being girls), I am CERTAIN God exists and has a great sense of humor. FURTHER, I like to think that at the very last minute, God switched the babies (or at least the babies' souls) so that Brooke ended up with a space alien and TomKat ended up with an already drug-dependent manic depressive.

I crack myself up!

Bonnie said...

Re: Becca, YES we should kidnap her. I would love that!

Bonnie said...

Re: "Stick It," Keith and I already have a date to see it the SECOND it comes out.

"It's gymNASTics, not gymNICEtics!"

I mean COME! ON!

You HAVE to see that!
