greetings...funny story (well..it's funny when i tell it in real life)

...not sure how it translates on the little screen here...

anyway....i grew up in a teeny-tiny town in northern montana...close enough to the canadian border..that when we turned 18..we crossed to border to drink legally...(18 up there)

anyway....i was young...young and my older brother was in VICA (not sure what it was but they did woodshop and stuff and travelled around to other little towns and had little presentations about their handiwork).

once he went to the "big city" Great Falls, MT and played a video game.
we were in a one-stop light town..so didn't have video games yet...i dont think.

he came back and said "i played pac man...this cool video game where you're this little yellow guy and you go around eating dots"

[me] "how short are you?"[/me]
[bro]no..you're just a head[/bro]
[me]wait...you're just a yellow head? eating dots? [/me]

(im not gonna [tag] these anymore...figiure it'll make sense)

yeah..you're just a head and you go thru this maze and eat dots and ghosts chase you?

wtf?! just a head...a yellow head?!

no..more like a pie...like a pie with a piece missing is the mouth

and is it hard to see where you're going? in the maze?

no..it's like a top view..so you see all the walls.

wait....are you a midget head?

=====================
then he hit me.

:(

==============================================================
in my mind..i thought a little yellow pixely-man was walking around eating dots.
then i imagined a little 8 bit pixel man with a pie for a head

hope this wasn't in the wrong place...i'm new here

anyway..in real life...when i tell it...it seems to get a better reaction.

unless the people are all :rolleyes: oh...here he goes again with his pac man story.

Greetings Program!

Not that bad...

I remember the first time someone was trying to explain pac man to me....oh brother. Tempest was worse... :)


ArcadeMaze!
 
Yep...you're in the right place with that story. And I STILL can't explain Tempest...even though I own one.
 
left MT in...95 or so...maybe it was 96

then was in ND for a bit...and been in NorCal since 2000.

way different than back home...but we don't miss the winters!

I've been in Whitefish for the past year... out from Connecticut. It's quite a bit different here than it is back east! I love the winter... :)
 
Josie, I used to go to Whitefish and Kalispell alot back in the day when I lived in BC. Now I hit Great Falls when I go down to Montana. All great towns for shopping!
