Sorry I haven’t been posting here very much. Instead, I’ve been playing a lot of flash-based Internet Pac Man. Most mornings and nights, actually. Like, when I wake up in the AM, when I’m still kind of sleepy, and right before sleepy-time in the PM.
I’m pretty good, but not great. And I’ll tell you what: the first Big Stone Head reader to beat my high score of 55,000-something will get a free mini book. In it, I will write, “Well, you beat my high score, biotch. Now what? Huh? You think you’re better than me? Do you? You, do, huh? Whatever. Let’s see how you do at Frogger.”
The note will be very abrasive and will also somehow contain a link to Frogger.
This whole thing is kind of honor-system-y, but I suppose you could take a screen shot of your Pac Man “victory” and send it my “way.” The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and the pudding is in the points and the points are in the game, if you know what I mean.
But here’s the big catch: If I beat my high score of 58,000-something first (and I will let you know when that happens), I not only take back the offer, but you all owe me a mini book of my choosing.
Does that sound fair? Yes? Okay. Begin Pack-ing.

I just scored 55,410.
57,740 at 10:15 PM.
58,840 at 10:15 AM.
Last night it was 10:15 PM.
I play my best games in the 10s.
78,650!
At 10:31 AM.
I followed my best-ever game with my BEST-EVER-by-a-landslide game.
I think it may be getting close to retirement time.
Plus, I seem to be the only person commenting.
Still: 78,650!
You’re so cute.
57,040. That’s all I got.
89,270(!!!) at 12:21 PM, with “The Truman Show” on in the background.
(Hint: When you get to the round with the bananas, eat the bananas.)
101,290 at 9:46 PM
I was wrong, earlier. It’s not about the bananas, at all. Get to the land of pairs. Granted, the ghosts turn from blue back to their original colors in mere seconds. But if you can snap up one of those pairs — one of those 3,000 point pairs — you’re on your way to cracking the 100,000 mark.
It bears repeating: 101,290. And I was laying down while playing.
