[LOBO]

There’s a moment in every father’s life when his son’s accomplishments and talents will eclipse his own.

Contemplating this solemnly, I open the small gray panel on the wall. Screechy, the six year old, is surrounded by animated friends and family and playing Centipede furiously in the living room.

-And he is poised to break my all-time high score.

Locating the black switch scrawled “Living Room” in marker, I toggle it to “off,” and then back to “on.”

A disbelieving shriek emanates throughout the house, but I’m already rappelling down the back of the house and into my waiting car.

Throwing the ski mask into the back seat, I punch the gas to the floor. The tires scream hot on the concrete for traction.

"Not today ya little bastard," I says.

You sir, are a cruel cruel man. Rickey shudders to think what will occur when your offspring learn how to blog....

Reforming Geek: Nah ... pretty 'lukewarm' on the evil scale. But I'm workin' on it!

TJZoo: I figure we're both safe. You can't blog about my abusive nature with only X, Y, B, A, a thumbpad, and a "left" and "right" trigger.

Dan: Good to see you buddy! Lock in those tickets!

Rickey: He has to win a year on the HBFFL first! :)

Well done! Your time of being faster, stronger and smarter than him is limited. Use it when you can.

Commodore Vanderbilt didn't suffer this indignity.
