Star Wars Arcade Game

I was sitting in Gatwick Airport in London, minding my own business, waiting for my delayed flight to board, not expecting to see anything cool. Then it happened. I looked over my shoulder and saw the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. I decided that 50p was a good investment, grabbed the single control stick and attempted to use my X-Wing to take down the Death Star. Life was good.

Here's the site I found with more information.

Inspiration

I was recently reading Scott Moschella's Plastic Bugs and it inspired me. Moschella has already created a word (WarTuning...check wikipedia, Oxford English hasn't caught-up yet) and now he is attempting to create a phrase. "Skipping the Monkeys" is, basically, skipping the bad parts to get to the good. Here's the link to this.

In response, I have decided to share the phrase I first heard in Norway. My Girl and I came up with the phrase "that's good pizza" to describe anything good. The beauty of this phrase is its ambiguity. Good Pizza can be used both sincerely or sarcastically. It's all in the delivery. So I release my new phrase into the untamed wild. Creating new metaphors is definitely good pizza.
