NOT Ann Coulter, as the screenshot would suggest. Just watch it and you’ll see.
I have to get a move on to get downtown and in line to see Be Kind, Please Rewind. So if I may pardon myself from writing an extensive blog post this Friday evening. If the movie is any good, I will probably review it here tomorrow.

I would appreciate it if someone else would make the first comment.

Okay, I’ll do it…
She keeps her own name, motherfuckers!
ROFL!
*chomp* *burp*
And did you see this NYT article about how teenage girls make more webpages than boys?
That was awesome! And absolutely unfair that Ann Coulter gets the screen shot.
My husband is a Ms. Pac-Man champ. He worked at 7-11 in his youth, and fed quarters non-stop into that machine. He could play for 45 mins and more on a quarter…or so he boasts.
I love the Pikmin-ish characters as ‘original’ Japanese Pac-men. It’s her name! It’s not masculine! Pikachu is not from Jamaica! She doesn’t even MEET Pac-Man until the second screen anime!
She keeps her own name, motherfuckers! should be the slogan–of both Ms. Pac-Man and feminist icons everywhere.
Astraea beat me too it but I had to keep myself from lauging out loud at that one. I am pretending to work after all;).
And I am a fan of Pikachu (the head Pokemon) but I am not Jamacian, so there you go.
It’s not easy to fight those ghosts. It really is escaping death - on the clock - each time, because the basrards get faster.
Moreover, if “Sue” the ghost is Ann Coulter, you can bet Ms. Pacman has more viocoius adversaries.
Throw me another power pellet. This game was painful, but also a-maze-ing.
I love YouTube
OK, you opened the door, so I blame Amanda for the fact that I am unable to restrain myself from repeating my favorite stupid joke of all time: What do you call a Jamaican Proctologist? Pokemon!
Sorry. Perhaps Ms. Kate’s offspring will enjoy it.
That was pretty awesome. And true.
It takes a strong woman to don blue eye shadow an Ms Pacman did it with aplomb
“In Pac-man, the ubiquitous rewards like the apple, cherry, and pear just sat their passively for Pac-man to stroll up and take…but in Ms. Pac-man, the treats actually move around and evade her!
ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL
“She-harpies” is redundant. Mythologically harpies are all female, being the daughters of Typhon and Echidna and sisters of Iris.

Oh yeah? fuck you. I’m gonna create my own story. Wherein a young Harpy boy sets out to prove he can be just as shrill a monster unleashed by Olympus to punish those who betray their family. Just as good as any female harpy. And along the way, there are some good lessons about believing in yourself and doing what you love.
It’ll be like Happy Feet meets 300.
*runs away screaming*

OMG, I just peed my pants!
Great video.
Ha! I love at 2:57. The narrator is talking about subtly subversive Ms. PacMan is and there’s a screen shot of the game prizes. Eat an apple, get 500 points. Eat a pretzel…get equal pay! That sounds like a win-win-win situation to me.
And, uh, of course, by 2:57, what I really meant was 1:21.

Piers Anthony reads Pandagon?

bite your tongue, miscreant.

Shit - outed.
I mean - George R R Martin pretends to be Piers Anthony while reading Pandagon?
But why is Ms Pacman the “official spokesperson for breast cancer” awareness groups when she doesn’t have, you know, breasts?
Well, she is round like a breast, at least when her mouth is closed.

Ms Pacman IS a breast.
Who eats things.
So she must have teeth.
Mammary Dentata?…
Now that you mention it, MikeEss, it is kinda-sorta possible for a cancerous breast to have teeth. A teratoma can include all sorts of weird tissue, because in cancer genes that aren’t supposed to express themselves at a particular location occasionally do. So you get tooth or hair tissue appearing inside your body in a weird place where it doesn’t belong. Teratomas don’t usually show up in the breast, as far as I know, though.
Wow, Neil, that’s some really freaky stuff. The picture on the wiki page is disturbing…

Even I’m not stupid enough to touch this straight line…
Lol!!! That totally made my day. Ms. Pac-Man, you rock!
