Wordless Wednesday - Pac Man Found Dead
...Ms. Pac Man charged with murder
London, ON, March 2008 [Click to embiggen]
I always suspected his philandering, eat-anything-in-his-path ways would get him into trouble. Who knew he'd end up in a watery grave in the parking lot of our kids' school. Rest in peace, little pie-headed fella.
Your turn: Video game characters who've gone bad. Please discuss.

I'm not a video game player--but even I know Pac Man. That is a hoot. My husband will love this.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

You think you can have it all, but the ghosts of your past always come back to haunt you.
ReplyDeleteOh well...
My WW post is here if you'd like to stop by.
Tragic story. I didn't know there WAS a Mrs. Pac Man. Cool photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat! Look at what they did to him. nooooooooo
ReplyDeleteI just spewed my coffee over the screen. Thats a great morning giggle. :-P
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect caption for this photo! It really does look like Pac Man. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! but I guess I shouldn't be amused by a death, should I?
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! Good one...your photos are unique and so funny. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I can't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious!!! I guess I should be crying, as I grew up with him in the 80s :)
This is funny! :D Pacman found dead...sad! lol
ReplyDeleteThat's different!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Thanks for stopping by MommyCosm :)

ReplyDeleteLOL - thanks for the giggle! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting too. I really appreciate it.

heheeh pacman is indeed dead at this shot :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I thought this was hilarious but our kids asked "Who's pacman?" We tried to explain and got this response, "Oh a antique video game." Feeling old!
ReplyDeleteA funeral dirge.........hummmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteAww!! But now we can move on. MB
Thanks for visiting my blog. MB
Poor PacMan - I'm afraid I'm one of his paramours - we spend many hours together in the 80's at college:-) Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent. He shall be missed. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww...poor Pac Man...My condolences to his widow Ms. Pac Man. Very funny find.
ReplyDeleteTennis anyone?
ReplyDeleteRun over, squished flat, left for dead. Hmmm poor Ms. PM indeed! You are too funny Carmi!
ReplyDeleteHa! Love it. Happy WW to you!

Holly

ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT caption for this photo! LOL Kind of sad, but funny nonetheless
ReplyDeleteAfter a wonderful career, PacMan hit rock bottom.
ReplyDeleteThere's a tennis pic for ya! Love the title!
ReplyDeleteYup..he's dead. The greenish tone of his normally lively yellow is a dead give-away....dang...never got to tell him how many hours of happiness he gave me in the days of quarter-fed video games.
ReplyDeleteAlas, poor Pac-Man... we knew him...
bows head...says a prayer
Anyone for Super Smash Bros?
well well i wondered what happened to him i heard Mario started an underground world and teamed up w/ TMNT in the sewers
ReplyDeletehehe - at least wordless

ReplyDeleteIsn't this how all icons of the 80s ended up?
ReplyDeleteNo, not Pac Man! Whyyyyyyyyyyyy???? ;-)
ReplyDeleteDonkey Kong has begun tapping the kegs and boozing. The princess has been rescued by Mario who doesn't have to avoid the barrels anymore. We thought about scheduling an intervention, but we actually like the big guy better this way.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pic!
Jen
Poor guy.....LOL

ReplyDeleteLooks a little green . Mayvbe he ate something that didn't agree with him. I salute your imagination!
ReplyDeleteWow, Carmi, it took a long time to scroll to the end of the comments!

I was wondering what happened to my tennis ball.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Such a sad ending! >,-)

And may I say, I'm glad to see you have owner approval of comments, turned on. Me too. And I have Word Verification too. -sigh-
ReplyDeleteDidn't always. But, we learn by being burned, so to speak. Comments containing virus' and etc. Ugh.
But it's not that difficult to vet comments. And I think I'll leave it, this way. And glad to see others doing it, too.
