Ms Pac-Man

[dullard]

I was in a discussion with my wife about Ms Pac-Man. The abbreviation Ms means the person could be married or unmarried and just doesn't want anyone to know. So
1) Ms Pacman could stand for Misses Pac-Man, it is her married name which she got from Pac-Man. Or
2) Ms Pacman could stand for Miss Pac-Man, meaning her name was Pac-Man before marriage.

There is a problem with each.
1) If it stands for Misses Pac-Man, then what was her name before they met? What if you are a horrible game player and you could never win the first level. You'd always wonder why this unmarried woman has a married title and name. It just wouldn't make any sense.
2) If it stands for Miss Pac-Man, then she has the last name of the person she marries. This could signal inbreeding. I guess that could explain their odd figures - a mouth almost as big as their entire body. But that leads to great moral decline - a game encouraging inbreeding. I don't think the programmers would have allowed that to occur.

So what do you think is the answer?

Ok I'm bored, thanks for reading to my silly post.

I thought "misses" was "Mrs.".....

Both parents of my best friend way back when had the same last name before they ever met...

Maybe it's Ms. as in Mizz and she's a divorcee!

How about they are 'pacman', ie Man and she happens to be the other sex, ie woman.

You and your wife have some pretty deep discussion, huh? 😉

We've been together about 8 years now. We've run out of normal things to talk about. So we make up odd things and just have fun. I like the inbreeding explanation. Why else would they look like that.

Other things to ponder that we came up with over dinner:
1) What exactly are those round dots they are eating. We think they must be tart-and-tiny candies for the little ones and snowballs for the big ones.
2) Do they poop after eating all that?
3) Who died to make those ghosts?

I was gonna suggest that you have kids so you have something to have conversation about, but judging by your dinner conversations, 1. I'm not sure it's a good idea. 2. I'm not sure you've figured out how to make kids 😛

Well, in the old Pac Man Saturday morning cartoon her first name was Pepper.
