I love how our country is clearly going through economic hell at the moment, yet on my DirecTV, between the C-Spans and the news channels and the weather channels, we have G4, showing excessive live coverage of one of the biggest celebrations of sloth and excess in the country.
I love this country.
If this was one of those blogs with a "Currently listening to:" feature, I'd list, some Japanese guy who the only words I've understood him say are "Super Mario".
I want the last 20 minutes of my life back......
Animal Crossing: City Folk. I can finally change the channel....

Odds and Ends 6/19/07
-The new White Stripes album "Icky Thump" is now out and now awesome. I'd give a track by track review, but I honestly don't feel like it. Your loss....my review would've been called "Icky Shuffle"....that would've rocked.....
-The new Sierra Mist Lemon Squeeze is awesome....I'd give a track by track review, but it's kinda hard to do that with soda.
-Summer vacation starts tomorrow....let's see how much internet time I'm left with!
-TMBG's recently released Podcast 27A features a collection of John Henry demos and is a great listen
-If you ever find yourself playing Animal Crossing and you ever find yourself picking up a Modern Lamp at the dump, don't ever find yourself singing Modern Lamp to the tune of Bowie's Modern Love. You'll find it getting stuck in your head for days and if you find yourself having a modern theme, you'll have to change it.
-With this ;post, I currently have more June posts than Tork's blog. HA!

Odds and Ends (6/1/01)
-A news flash from the This Week in BALLS! desk:
A Rod's gotten in some hot water (Well....baseball wise anyway :p ) for reportedly shouting out "MINE!" at a pop fly during last night's game that the Blue Jays dropped.
So this is how it is for the Yankees right now....they're stealing from Major League.
When does Torre break out the Steinbrenner cut out and start stripping it every time the team wins?
-Best Animal Crossing town name EVER! Yurectum There's a lot going on in Yurectum! Yurectum is one of my favorite vacation spots!
-Dear eBay (Stop)
I don't, and I don't have any plans to, give a rat's ass about eBay Live (Stop)
Get me to my damn My eBay page (Stop)
Stop (Stop)

Up yours, XBox!
Super Mario 3 is the shit.
Let's face it: I know it, you know it, your creepy uncle knows it. The first time you saw those ads for the Wizard, you shit your pants. Mario was flying damn it!!!! Not just floating like the Princess in the second one, flying! That's all you needed to know! The game could've sucked ass, it didn't matter. The game could have been "Flying Racoon Mario and His Adventures in Loco Loco Land", a and it would've still sold a kajillion copies. Yet, it wasn't that. It was the aformentioned shit.
So why am I praising an almost 2 decade old game? Well, because it deserves it, you asshole!!!! Well, also because of what happened to me yesterday. My niece, playing Super Mario Advance whatever....uh...the one with 3 in it, was playing the game. Rather, I was playing it for her because she couldn't get past a stage and then while I was playing, she focused her attention elsewhere (An action that will surely condemn her to video game Hell). Sure, the polishing of the game SUCKS! Oooh, Mario talks! Bite me talking Mario! Unless you're Captain Lou and you're rapping, I don't want to hear what Mario has to say! There's some other little tweeks here and there, but of the ones I saw was the one that got me the most was the extra block under the first 1up in level 1-4, making it easier to get. That's just blasphomy right there. It's hard to get, leave it at that!
A few things I want to talk about:
If I was Al Gore, I wouldn't bother with the movie biz. I'd just show Mario being chased by this guy. Trust me. I'd have gotten my poin across. I have nightmares about this thing,.
Come to think of it, Mario 3 is a metaphor for global warming. Look at this shit! If we don't save our planet now, big ass fish are gonna rise up and eat us!!!!!!! I'm ashamed of my parents. It's their fault. Now I'm gonna get eaten by a big ass fish. Those little ones are no picnic either....of all the enemies to bring back, they chose those fuckers. OK, well they brought back pretty much all of them, but still.....
My niece poined out that although these are supposed to be boomerangs, they look like dirty socks that have just kind of dried out. That's much more threatening.
I was talking about the Water World. My least favorite world (Damn big ass global warming fish), and my niece thought I was talking about Butter World. Now that would be cool! We gotta get one of those rom hackers on that! Think about it....all slippery, Mario sinks in it. It could be like Deep Darkness in Earthbound, he could sink in it and the calories and cholestorol and whatever could lower his hit poins. You know, if Mario had hit poins. He could fight off walking pancakes! I expect a call from Nintendo anyday now.
