"lessons from a mario kart master"


http://neverincontrol.blogspot.com/:

"Simply put, Mario Kart is the best game ever created. And there is no better feeling than sweaty palms and burning thumbs tightly glued to that trident shaped controller. No game provides simple, clean and never ending fun quite like Mario Kart 64. Thank God someone has provided us a place where you can actually slip on banana peels, where there is never more than one woman on the road at all times and where you can’t get sued by PETA if you run into a retarded penguin. But you know, Mario Kart is more than that; it’s somewhere you can learn valuable life lessons:
1) $h!t happens. Sometimes you are in 7th place and somehow 8th place Luigi manages to get 3 red shells. When the game gives you lemons, don’t get down because you’ll probably get a star.
2) Never judge by outward appearance, otherwise have fun losing with Mario or Peach. It’s the inside that counts so stick with Wario.
3) If you ever see someone dressed like Peach in real life, throw a banana peel at her because she's a trina. Then when she gets mad, say, “I’m a gonna win!” and run off.
4) Pride cometh before the fall. In first place with the finish line in sight, don’t talk smack or a blue shell WILL crush you. (I’ve looked several times for the microphone Nintendo hides in the controllers to know who was talking the most crap but have not yet found it.)
5) Don’t do mushrooms on an icy bridge or you’ll end up in the wet and cold.
6) Never try and pass a semi-truck by using the shoulder.
7) Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.
8) At the end of every race be able to say, “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
While Mario Kart has indeed made me a better person, it has provided me with the challenge of humility. To remain humble while dominating all foes is a challenge, but one that I am surely up to. So to anyone out there who reads this and thinks they can beat me, I quote one much wiser than me, Torrance Shipman, when she profoundly stated, 'Bring it.'"


a man of my own heart if I've ever met one. unfortunately he dates my best friend, for now.
chip, please note the picture and the place wario is in. this clearly isn't when you are playing against me.
