Sweatpants ...For further thought & discussion:<br /><br />Sweatpants equals Ron Bass<br /><br />Ron Bass won by cheating with a whip and boot spurs<br /><br />Sweatpants got a high score on Ms. Pac Man via Red Bull and other PEDs<br /><br />Therefore, HandsomeStan is a black fan-favorite wrestler themed after a dog that guards junk.

The pear represents the first time you start to notice fruit, and really, deeply care about it. And a really great butt on a woman is sometimes referred to as a "pear." I make no direct connection here, as the whole subsequent-Banana thing really makes it kind of disturbing. Which is pointed out in picture form on the blog below.<br /><br />Essentially, instead of chasing tail around to "score" in your teenage years, you are now actively pursuing a commitment (and a monogamous relationship) with the fruit that will make your life better for the rest of the levels you live through. (Trying again to ignore the Banana-Penis comparison, but still, the metaphor is there...)<br /><br />Also, you describe the "miracle" of passing through a ghost. This is the most accurate description of the word - when the unexpected, inexplicable, and improbable somehow happens. The "gods" of the programming of the game clearly left something in the code for this, because it's happened to me on every single version of the game I've ever played (arcade, NES, SNES, N64, cocktail table, etc). Clearly, this is some element of the game's basic programming that was meant to happen as a quote-unquote Miracle, from time to time. Genius. <br /><br />I only wish god had thought to work something like that into reality. Would've been nice. Which is the very point you start the essay with, which basically crushes the whole post over the Green Monster. Well done.<br /><br />All in all, a fine fine literary achievement, and I look forward to blowing your ass the fuck away with a truly dedicated mission to become Champion Of The Universe And All Things.<br /><br />Get out of my way. No. *beat up guy* *beat up guy* <br /><br />* Do not try to play Ms. Pac with that Ratt song on in the background.
