If Mario were created today
Once upon a time you picked up a game and figured out how to play it all by yourself. These days the first ten levels end up functioning as a tutorial and you only get about four levels of actual gameplay with all your moves. Here’s what Mario, an incredibly simple game, would have looked like if it were designed today:
Get your kid’s claws into the alphabet
Alphabet charts are so passe. If you want your kidlet to learn the alphabet, and learn it fast, let Wolverine and friends teach them…

Happy Birthday Pacman
Pacman is thirty today. Google is celebrating. You can play it on the homepage.
I’ve written quite a few Pacman posts over the years. Here they all are.
Celebrate by baking a Pac-Cake…
Sleeping with the fishes…
Picture life as a piece of the oceanic food chain with this snuggly shark sleeping bag. $200 well spent I say…
Marriage advice for real men
I don’t often give marriage advice. I’ve only been married 2.5 years, it would be silly for me to make a habit of it… I like to think of myself as a plain speaker, someone who doesn’t beat around the bush. So if frank discussions of natural bodily functions offend you then it’s best you look to the left now, that’s where the edifying stuff is anyway…
Lets face it. Real men pass gas. It’s true. And wives typically don’t enjoy Dutch Ovens or farts in the bedroom (or anywhere). It can be a real point of contention. Your gas can come between you. Don’t let it. I know it’s the most natural thing in the world. Farting is a God given privilege. It’s why we are anatomically constructed the way we are. If your flatulence is threatening your marriage then you need one of these fart inhibiting blankets. The Better Marriage Blanket comes complete with an activated carbon layer.
Completely & Quickly Absorbs The Odor Of Flatulence
- A real solution to a very real problem
- Contains the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons
- Even works on top of bed sheets
- Makes a great wedding or anniversary gift too
Manual Tetris burns more calories than the game
If you’ve watched the pros (like my wife) play Tetris you’ll know that it’s a legitimate sport. It involves rapid movements, coordination, and a developed skill set.
This real life version doesn’t. But because you’re using your whole arms and not just your fingers it’s likely you’ll burn more calories.

This is almost ten minutes of the thing in action. Seems pretty lame. I didn’t watch it.

Super Mario Children
If you’ve got a mushroom outbreak at home and you want your kids to deal with the pesky blighters, or if you’ve got plumbing dramas, you should totally buy them these outfits…

Just an Italian plumber featured in Nintendo games…
