You need not give me a penny for my thoughts...

[thez]

...for I thrust them upon you freely, and without mercy! My thoughts must actually be very distracting, as I see no other explanation for my tendency to cease all activity and float in head-space for as long as I do. It happened today in fact: a 30 minute space-out. What is it that locks me in these trances o' stupid?

We'll start, for example, with Buddha. Why's he so fat? Jesus walked everywhere, and he wasn't fat. Didn't Buddha ever walk anywhere? And aren't Buddhists supposed to be vegetarians? Or is that only Hindus? How can you get so fat on a vegetarian diet? THEN SUDDENLY, a shift: monkeys. Monkeys are cool. Also cool would be the formation of a state, a state created by cutting off a chunk of Montana. It's not like they're using it for anything. It would be right next to Idaho, and it would be called "Idapimp." Two great tastes that taste great together. Also, peanut butter. Then jungles. Then kanji. Then thinking that I can write only about 200 in an hour. Sadness. Then thinking that I'm better off than Usagi at least. Then realizing that she's a fictional character, it doesn't count. You know what else? Pez. And Maracas. HOLY SHIT. MARACAS FILLED WITH PEZ. But would this be good or bad? What's the point of Pez you can never eat? Maybe you could open the maracas and eat the Pez, but wouldn't it be crushed to powder by the maraca-action? And you know, if I had a wish, I might wish for an entire room full of Pac Man arcade games. What if I DID have a room full of Pac Man arcade games, though? What if I beat them all? What if I beat a game with the highest score possible, so high that the game blew up? Would that be sort of like gamer Nirvana?

Then suddenly, we're back to Buddha.

Maybe he had a glandular problem...

Well, the original Pacman game didn't blow up, but it did freeze if you managed to get to Board 256, because the programmers figured no one would get that far.

And don't worry about getting the highest score, the first guy to manage to get a perfect game (only one guy, getting every ghost, ever point possible) did it in 1999, and he was freakn' 33 years old (which only makes the story more sad).

BZUH? In some way, this man should be my hero, and yet I think I want to punch him. On another note, is it really possible to get an ultimate high score? The game just keeps sending more fruit your way the longer you're in the maze, so no matter how long you sat there, you could never get the, uh, "ultimate fruit score." Or perhaps only the Ms. Pac Man games do this?

I feel geekier just thinking about this.
