For the Record I scored 365,463 at Collapse on Yahoo Games
Really, I did! But for some reason the script that records your highest score is only showing 62,000 something. But, well, what does it matter?
Why is it so important to be remembered? What's history good for anyway?
I think it became obsolete once we became able to Photoshop our way into anything. If Forrest Gump can meet Kennedy, why can't I? And if the great men of the past were just mortals like us--their greatness just the excess of poets--then why bother trying to be great?
It's not my job to be great, instead it's history's job to see me as great. So I might as well just be my mediocre self, and let those who come after me lionize me.
Did you know I was thirteen feet tall and ate a tiger for breakfast, a lion for lunch and feasted upon a whole herd of elephants for dinner?
Well, I did. At least, I will have in two hundred and fifty years. Just you wait and have seen!
