Just edit your first post with an updated picture. If everybody posts new scores everytime it gets difficult to track.
See I improved my score and then edited my original post with a new pict?
Just keeps it cleaner and easier for the guys.

I actually did a bit better, but apparently stomping the floor in a fit of rage freezes the game.
