You don't see games to often where the game can win and the players can lose. Pretty sad when a bit of cardboard kicks your butt. Getting whipped by the GameCube is a little less embarassing by comparison.

I find your icon very amusing (although I hope it's not reflective of your current mood, if so, *hugs*). I loved that story. Would you like a higher resolution image? (First link is no text so you can put whatever, second has the same text as your current one in a standard font).

Thanks for the higher-res icon :) Your photoshop skills are much better than mine. I've saved your version, and will substitute it shortly.

I used it for this post as the most suitable for a post generally about King Kong (climbing things), but thanks for the hugs - much appreciated. I've been beaten by my Gamecube on a regular basis; I'm sure it cheats sometimes.
