REGULAR AND EXTRA CRISPY

2001

The owner of a family entertainment center occasionally replaced out-of-date arcade and video games, and dismantled the old ones into pieces small enough to toss in the Dumpster. One day he gave a pair of intrepid game-room employees, nicknamed Podunk and Donut, after their radio call signs, the task of destroying two outmoded games.

The first game was sent to Atari heaven with no fuss, thanks to a five-pound sledgehammer. The second was more obstinate.

After the boys broke the handle of the sledgehammer against it, they decided to heave heavy cinder blocks at the machine. But that only succeeded if you consider broken cinder blocks a success. They tried ramming the game with a car, which did little but damage the vehicle’s front end. Brute force was getting them nowhere fast. In the interest of safety, speed, efficiency, and a minimum of wear and tear on their tools, they decided to burn the game down. Podunk filled the interior of the cabinet with fumes from an aerosol can, while Donut manned the cigarette lighter. You can guess the rest. Both employees sustained second-degree burns to their arms and faces, and the game is still alive and well. Now the boys have new call signs: Regular and Extra Crispy.
