-->> One o' goofiest discs i've got.. i have 2 of these.. but this is the only one i can find (one of 'em was from when i was small) ..not sure if this is the one i got later at the Thrift store or what.

Dunno .. "Kids Stuff" Pac-Man album and story book w/ album series is the cheesiest music i have, There's a bit of charm tho' .. and there's a real sweetness to the characters and a slitghty different take on them than in the original cartoon and characters as they are presented today.

The ghosts are refered to in these disks by their first names.. "Shadow","Bashful","Pokey", and "Speedy" .. and they talk hilarious. As in the cartoon ..i guess it is assumed that 'Speedy' (Pinky) is a guy ghost and nott he lady ghost she was originally interpreted as. However Speedy talks real fast..

"Whatdoyoumeaniamtalkingfastamillionmilesaminuitewithouttakingabreathhuhwhat..blahblahbla .. - ??" ..hi-pitch voice so funny she might as well be a crazy girl ghost.

It's not clear.. but with the exception of Ms.Pac-man and Baby Pac ..the same guy is the voice for all the Ghosts and Pac-man himself. I think.

Pac Baby is a feature on the graphic of this disc's side A .. but he is not on this particular album.. (tho the X-mas album and a story book album i have ..Pac-Baby is more prominent. This is the boy version of Pac-baby ..the one it is assumed to have grown up to be Pac-Jr. and not the Pac-Baby of today who is a girl.)"

The designs of the Pac-Land characters on these albums is very VERY similar to the cabinet and pinball playfeild artwork on the U.S. versions of Ms.Pac-man,Baby Pac-Man, and the original Pac-Man pinball game. There's this pseudo like 'Fritz the Cat' feel to it.. and all the psycho buildings with faces n' stuff.. gives these characters a real distinct look compared to other interpretations of Pac n' pals.

..these designs are also very similar to the little 'Coleco' Pac-Man figures of Pzc,Ms. and Blinky.. so ..i betcha anything it was the same artist or artists that emulated eachother for these related designs i mentioned.

I ain' kiddin' .. i haven't played everything.. but i've played some real strange sh7t growin' up.. Video Game cabinet artwork is a staple for me. Maybe i cannot name all the artists.. but i DO ..know the styles.

.. this has been a mystery the artist here for years. I've got to solve it !! The artists (s) are so incredbile !! God ..d4mm that's a charming illustration .. ain' it ?! That's just gotta be the person that did all that cabinet art. And i know alotta people..so many at least ..had to have seen the U.S. Ms.Pac-Man Cabinet art ..

Hoo boy .. ~~**

Had a pretty good game last night. I fielded a couple innings and managed to get one at bat and hit it deep to center field for a RBI double. In the end, we won 9-5. So far we're undefeated and intend to stay that way. Go OddBallers!

After the game, we headed over to Hoppy Brewing Company for food and booze. I also intended to use that time to hold a quick pre-trip meeting with the people attending the backpack trip next week. It turns out, of the 7 people interested, myself included, only 3 people are confirmed. Those people are me, my buddy Darryl and my pal Josh from Nashville. Everyone else seemed to have valid excuses...

- Tim's wife is due to have their baby the week following the trip and she's nervous about having him out of town at the moment.

- Paul is overloaded at work and can't get the time off like he planned.

- Liz, Paul's gf, isn't going cuz Paul isn't going.

- Eric just picked up a bunch of freelance projects that he can't pass up.

Whatevs. Three people will be just fine. Heck, I'd go solo if I had to. I've done it before and had an awesome time.

So in true geek fashion, I got the laptop out of the car and proceeded to have a Skype video conference with Josh to talk about our trail, shared group gear, clothing, and meal planning. I think we got everything covered. I can't wait for next Wednesday!
