Okay, so I'm on vacation, a day after figuring out how to turn the water and power on in our rented cabin home away from home, and we are in need of some groceries. And since everyone's favorite vacation past-time is grocery shopping, im sure many of you are wondering what the point of my non-sensical blundering is about. Well, the story gets remotley interesting to me and hopefully all of the video-game geeks out there, because while walking out of the local ingles (or iggles as my brother amusingly dubbed it) something a bit far off caught my eye.
A good old fashioned Capsule dispenser! After all think of all the fun joys of watching little kids bang their heads against walls until their parents buy them a crappy made in china capsule containing something whose value quickly expires in the 5 seconds it takes to break. But then I looked closley at the machine, and noticed a little tiny action-figure ish thing looking at me. And all of a sudden it came to me, thats gotta be Yoshi!
Of course since I hadn't played a videogame in at least a week (or so it seemed), and being the realist I am, i quickly dismissed this thought as no more than an illusion. This green blob was obviously just a crappy Chinese little toy, like everything else surrounding it, but the curious side of me demanded I at least take a look.
Yashi!
Cause everyone needs a N64 keychain
And then, something along the lines of "Holy Lord of the Rings" escaped my mouth, and i quickly pulled out my ROKR to take a picture, that little thing most certainly was a Yoshi! And then while fumbling around with my phone i noticed a Nintendo 64 Controller Keychain and some odd Gameboy looking thing, im sure without noticing it a bunch of john trevolta "Oh my god!"s slipped out of my mouth, much to the despise of any nuns around im sure. But i didn't care I just wanted to figure out what was coming out of the bottom of the gameboyish looking thing.
What is that sticking out of that gameboy?
While these nintendo-themed chinese toys were on display, there was no way to purchase them for the usual 50 cent fee. And as much as i wanted to be the annoying little brat who would offer a few bucks to the staffer who would open up the display and sell me those nintendo-related commodities, I resisted the temptation and walked away.
So heres to the amounting pile of proof on the internet, proving that mario is everywhere.
