Player Spotlight – goofygoober519

 

 

 

 

 

First name: Chris

Screen name: goofygoober519

Tell us a little bit about yourself :

I’m a fun, laid back, and kinda quirky 23-year old. I work full time at a local bowling center that my family owns, have my own online business and I’m going to college for Web Design.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my pets, hanging out with friends & family, watching movies, playing games, bowling, playing pinball and going to the casino.

I have been playing on Pogo since 2003. I used to have to play on my parents accounts (I was too young to join Pogo). It’s crazy to think that I couldn’t wait until my thirteenth birthday just so I could get my own Pogo account! Not long after joining, I was gifted a Club Pogo account… and well, the rest is history!

State, Province or Country?  Ohio

Astrological sign?  Taurus

What do you usually play on Pogo.com? I am a total badge junkie, and am always playing various games to earn that next badge!

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Cereal

Do you have a life philosophy? Life isn’t good unless you have a smile on your face!

What is your favorite Pogo.com game? Lottso!

What’s your favorite TV show? The Office

What’s your favorite drink? Ice cold water

What’s your favorite season? Summer!

Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies? Working (Seriously, I love working. If I didn’t love what I do, I wouldn’t do it!), bowling, gaming, outdoors, and going to the casino :)

What’s the last good book you read? Not really a book reader, I do more reading of the news, tutorials, online forums, etc.

Who’s your hero or heroine and why? Both of my parents. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without them.

If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? I definitely would play pranks on people LOL.

If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be? Let’s go with the Kardashians and Justin Bieber for starters…

Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? Why did the golfer wear two pairs of pants? In case he got a Hole in One! (Trust me, I’m full of corny puns & jokes!)

How long have you been playing Pogo? Since My 13th Birthday!

What makes you a unique Pogo fan? I think I’m a unique Pogo fan because I started playing when I was so young. I’ve seen so many changes, new games, etc over the years on the site and have a lot of great memories of this site, and a few memories I’d rather forget (Like the old Quick Quack badge to get 100 Jackpot Spins in a week!)

I can usually be found on Pogo.com playing: Late at night after work, slow times at work, or Mondays & Tuesdays (My weekend).

Coffee, tea, or soda? Coffee

Sugary treats or salty treats? Sugary! I have a Sweet Tooth!

Cat, dog or small rodent? Dogs, though I love cats too.

If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? Depression

  • Hi Chris, what a fun spotlight. I went back to college (at the age of 49)and decided to major in web design; I did well w/all classes but one. I just couldn’t get the Java programming…so I got a Master’s in psychology instead. So as to your wish to rid the world of depression, maybe I’ll be better at that and leave the computer stuff to you. Good luck in all you do.

  • wonderful spotlight for a young man you sure have a good sense of humor much needed in this word. GBU

  • Thank you for such an uplifting spotlight, you brought a smile to my face. I wish more young adults would have such a wonderful outlook on life. Congrats to your lucky parents for raising a great son. I wish you nothing but the best in life.

  • Hi Chris! What a sweetheart! I’m sure your parents are very proud of you! It’s great that you love to work you can do great things. I too always have a smile on my face people ask me why and I say maybe I have too many teeth. Truth is I am always happy. Seems like that’s you too. I hope to see you out there playing I will look for you. Thanks for sharing.

  • Nice to meet you Chris :) You are a remarkable young man. I am very proud of you and I’m not even your mom, or should I say grandma. LOL Keep on working hard, continue your education and most of all keep smiling. Congrats on being chosen for the Spotlight this week! Congrats to your parents for raising you to be a fine young man.

  • You’re an awesome young man and I look forward to playing and chatting with you some time in the future in Lottso! Good luck in the future. I wish you all the best!!

  • Great spotlight Chris!! You have an UNCANNY resemblance to my own son lol … if you were ever seen together, people would think you were brothers without a doubt. :D

  • Hi Chris, Nice to meet you and thank you for sharing with us. Make sure you get that education while you are young. Enjoy the games.

  • Nice meting you. Was a bowler many years and years ago,.LOL… enjoy your time with friends and family, they are the important people in your life…College.. Great stay with it and increase your knowledge for your personal future… Stay well. and enjoy life..

  • Any advice on how to bowl over 200 in Pogo bowl?

    • Lots of practice, and find a chat room with nice people in it. It really makes a difference!

    • John, real games @ an alley need fast and accurate. With Pogo, all you need is accurate. Move your ball a little to the right of the center arrow. Aim just a bit left of the head pin (it’s OK that the speed is slow – yellow) That should leave you with fairly easy spares to pick up. Whatever room you play in regularly say, “Hi & good luck all.” Most folks are friendly and willing to coach. Good luck!

    • Another clueless selfish poster. John this isn’t about your bowling game. This is a PLAYER SPOTLIGHT. Good grief.

  • Great profile Chris! I love your ambition and wish you much success. Stay fun!
    Miss V

  • Great profile fellow Ohioan!!! Wish I knew where your bowling alley is, would come and bowl. good luck in everything you do !!!!!

    Nice to see from your Spotlight and the comments a younger generation playing.

    When you get your Web Design degree, maybe you can get a job at Pogo.

  • Congrats Chris!! Nice profile. And good luck in life & on POGO. :)

  • Oh WOW I was so surprised and happy to see myself in the spotlight – How cool is that!!
