For the glory of the worker!


The heroic Mario fights for the people. It’s inspiring.

(via One Good Thing. And to answer Flea’s questions, yes, yes, late teens, they had no problem, of course they are—but we threw every terrifying thing we could find at the kids, it wasn’t very scary, it was for kids, and you have to be the judge of whether you’re overprotective.)

    The People’s Mario has been a long-time favorite of mine on Newgrounds. There is also a pretty funny “tribute” to Kent Hovind posted a couple days ago on NG; I suggested the author should send it to Pharyngula, but not sure if he did or not.

    There is one problem with this. It celebrates bourgeois individualism. The People’s Mario needs to learn solidarity.

    “Solidarity Forever”. The union makes us strong.

    Probably few Americans know “The International”. Here is Billy Bragg singing it in English. Who can disagree with the sentiments? Except wingnuts of course.

    But Commissar, THE KELP IS ROTTING ON THE VINES!

    God damn that was a brilliant episode: “Nobody shucks my corn but meeeeeee…..”

    Bozhemoi, he even wears a hat like Trofim Denisovitch!

    I guess the turtle was that burgeois Mendelist-Morganist Vavilov.

    This “Mario on Shrooms” video is, in my opinion, way, way funnier.

    That is funny. It took me a half-a-minute to realize that the woman was Peach – odd given that I use a “Golfing Peach” image as my avatar on Yahoo. Duh!

    Raising ‘shrooms on the collective?

    Proletarii fseks stran, soyedenyaetes’!

    (I’m sure Kseniya will correct my transliteration.)

    On the Mario tip, it would be a shame if nobody name-dropped Handré De Jager in this thread. (Link is to a blog posting about Handre, his “deviantart” site seems to be empty now, but you can find more of his wonderful, surreal, and disgusting video game art by just doing a google image search on his name.)

    Thanks!

    We decided to make Saturday night family movie night, and sit down and watch it with them. The people have spoken: we are overprotective weenies. Monster House it is.

    Mendelist-Morganist-Weissmannist, please. Except I’m not sure about the number of ns in the third part.

    Who can disagree with the sentiments?

    Alas, not the sentiments, comrade. The inability to realize the ideal, and the willingness to sell out the sentiments, and the haste to sacrifice innocents on the altar of a ‘golden future time’, all these are why I disagree. That’s why I think utopianism, be it Marxist or Hayekian, is a very dangerous thing.

    But the Internationale is catchy.
