A Man and his Penguin

lol

There’s a novelty-dispensing game machine at Hillarys and Kingsway called Stacker. Easy to learn, difficult to master as it requires split-second timing of pushing a button.

Tonight I decided to play it, even though I was really tired. On my second go tonight, I got to the minor prize.

Then I got an idea: How many goes would it take to get good enough to reach the Major Prize section? Surely not more than 30. That’s $30, and you can win an iPod Shuffle worth at least $100. You could sell the iPod on ebay for probably more than $50. Do you see where I’m going with this?
