That Whack-a-Mole game makes me feel really violent.
Forget video games, ever since I first encountered Whack-a-Mole as a kid at Chuck-E-Cheese, I have found it to be a horrifyingly homicide-inspiring activity.
Those little heads popping through the holes, with their giddy, arrogant, dumb-struck expressions, and their tauntingly elusive movements grips me with the rage of a thosand finger-webbing papercuts.

My anger scares me.

:P

4. It should not be for the faint-of-heart. There should be warnings on it.
Like, from the Surgeon General.

10. Not when they eat all the cat food and scare the poor little dears away
they're become big fat pains in my ass and I'm getting sick of hitting them w/the broom stick. I can tell it doesn't even hurt. They give me this "fine....fine...I'll leave for now, but I'll be back to finish my meal later" look. Total disdain.

Raccoons have no respect


We even put the cat food in a plastic bin w/some blankets b/c this winter got so cold - the damn coon not only squeezed in the cat-sized hole to get to the food, but STOLE my damn blanket! I found it down the hill from my back deck. :grr:

I broke one at Chuck-E-Sleaze when I was 18.
My then girlfriend's father had the BRILLIANT idea of having her Sweet Sixteen party at Chuck E Cheese (he was a complete idiot, can you tell?). Since no one over the age of nine has a birthday party there, I amused myself to no end once I discovered they sell beer by the pitcher! After hiding in the Sea of Balls and scaring little children, and having a "special" smoke in one of the crawl tubes, I proceeded to whack the Hell out of the Whack a Mole and broke the mallet and one gopher. When my buddy and I were kicked out, the look on my girlfriend's face was, "Wish I'd thought of that."

Later that night I caused a huge scene at the opening of A Nightmare on Elm Street - I got thrown out of that too.

7. We call it "Talk to Jesus" because, when my son was little and wanted
to go there, he would say it and that's what it sounded like.

9. That game, and air hockey get me real wound up.
You should have heard the embarrassing whoop of triumph I let loose, when I totally kicked my(eight-months-pregnant) SIL's butt at air hockey. (I believe I also shouted, "You LOST, sucka!")

:rofl:
