Description

Pac-Man nom nom nom!! Interesting tidbit of information: According to everyone’s favorite resource, Wikipedia, Pac-Man was originally “Puck-Man” in Japan but once the decision was made to release the game internationally Namco changed the name to “Pac-Man.” The reason? Namco was afraid that kids and teenagers would scratch out the “P” and replace it with an “F” lol. I’m going to say good thinking on their part! I was fortunate to have my soon-to-be brother-in-law (aka SOTOBEBIL) join me for two nights while I turned the ol’ EdgeHD towards this well-known reflection nebula in Cassiopeia. We shared some good whiskey and talked about all manner of fun and interesting topics. Looking forward to welcoming him to the family soon! By the way, I'm trademarking "SOTOBEBIL" just in case it becomes a thing ;)
