[LOBO and guest Beau Horner]
Oh sure we celebrate firemen and police or whatever. But how often do these so-called "heroes" go toe-to-toe with fire breathing dragons and deadly balloon-like creatures sporting Oakleys?
Most people think that "The Dug's" contribution to Humankind is limited to gardening safety. But let me tell you pal Indiana Jones has nothing on this guy! Read The Nothing Report author Beau Horner's harrowing account of the unearthing of Cleopatra's tomb:
"Cleopatra, better known as 'Patty,' was discovered frozen in time in the infamous 'walk like an Egyptian' pose, underneath several layers of strata....apparently they're color coded now. The only person capable of traveling this far down into the earth was David Duchovny, A.K.A Dig Dug. All of his crew unfortunately was wearing over-sized goggles in the hopes of bringing some laughs to the party."-The fact that Dig Dug heralds employment for David Duchovny alone gives one a brief glimpse into the staggering influence Double-D has in our everyday lives.
But what would a world without this unsung hero actually look like? The Moon -once a lush tropical environment and a candidate for filming "Lost" episodes- is now a barren rock unsuitable even for people from Los Angeles.A tearful Duchovny recalls the events in chilling detail: "It was a war that couldn't be won. In that gravity instead of crushing the monsters the rocks would just bounce off -dammit they would just bounce off! Have you ever heard a Fygar laugh? It's terrifying. Hold me."
So here's to you, David "Dig Dug" Duchovny.
-May you live a long, full life fighting evil down there.

I can't decide if I'm out of the loop on this because I'm such a dorky kid I never played video games (until I was an adult) or because you're OLD.
:)
LOL!
-Truth be told I never played "Dig Dug" that much, but I was there for the whole thing (Asteroids, Centipede, et cetera.)
And I do miss arcades. A roll of quarters still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy ...
[*sigh*]
Allow me to set the matter straight: Dig Dug is the bomb.
I have a copy here at the house and bring it out routinely whenever I want to show my son who is the man of the house.
That would be me, in case there is any confusion.
Happy Saturday
Actually, I believe the moon is a barren rock completely suitable for people from New York City.
Dig Dug is alright..I was always much more a fan of Pong.
**boop..boop..BEEP!**
DAMMIT!
For god's sake, don't hug him! He's a sex addict!
Brent: It's still fun, but I never got more than four or five levels in.
-You would've found me on "Star Castle" about then. It was (on advanced levels) pretty intense; I remember walking out of the mall arcade sweating and VERY ANGRY!!
Static: The LA reference was my fave line heehee. Thanks for noticing!
Midleah: Thre was a much longer version of this that kinda included that, but I "scaled it back" so it wouldn't slow the page as much. :)
I think I still have Dig Dug at the house. I used to play it non stop until my eyes bled. Someone tell me if there was an end to that damn game. The Youtube clips were hilarious by the way.
