Thoughts on Mario

I've been thinking about Mario lately. Who would think of a game involving a plumber who has to save a princess from a turtle? I think they must have been high or something when they came up with the idea. Especially when you consider the fact that mushrooms are a powerup and the games take place in the Mushroom Kingdom.

(in a reefer-induced surfer voice) "Dude... you know what would be totally rad? If there was like this plumber... and he was Italian... and then there was this princess that he was like totally into, but she kept getting kidnapped by this giant turtle... and the plumber could like run around the Mushroom Kingdom using these green sewer pipes for travel, since he is like a plumber and stuff. And then he could take these 'shrooms and turn giant. That would be a totally awesome game! ... Wait a minute... where am I? My hands are like... enormous!"

Of course, I guess the Japanese don't need drugs to come up with f-ed up stuff. Either way, Mario is still awesome.

That's really all I got for today's post.
