On Mario
When my wife passed away on April 28, 2008, the IGx community was very very generous in donating to her favorite charity, a scholarship fund for local high school students named in honor of her late father.
Mario took care of the donations. He mailed the check to the scholarship fund. He didn't say: "not my job." He did it. He also somehow found out the date and place of her funeral. When I arrived in the church that day, there was a big big bouquet of flowers. From IGx. Mario did that. You think I'll ever forget what you folks did? Never. And Mario, well Mario made it happen.

Re: On Mario
Why are we just now finding this out? That is an awesome gesture. But Mario is cool like that...just doing what he thought needed to be done. As thoughtful as that was I'm sorry but it looks like we need to string Mario up because he moved a bullshit thread that only three people read to make a little funny.

Re: On Mario
Like I said somewhere else around here recently, aside from Mario being a fucking douchey Cowboys fan, he is a most righteous dude and that's in spite of his off the cuff krazyball forum creations.

Re: On Mario
i think you guys should authorize mario to make the "pinky thoughts" thread disappear.
pinky is likely to have new thoughts, so it is no loss.

Re: On Mario
What I'm particularly concerned about is the young minds that Pinky may be destroying if he's teaching at a university. Can you imagine Mr. Pink walking into class with his leather foldover briefcase wearing his corduroy jacket with the patches on the elbow and his weathered fedor telling his students before class about the latest IGx hijinks and that fucking Mario had the NERVE to move a thread and create a new kookyballz forum!!!! The he segues into a discussion on the marginal propensity to consume as his eyes keep shifting from the blackboard to the big-titted girl in the front row that has I LUV U written in ink on her eyelids.

Re: On Mario
in the scene you draw, mr shape, the ultimate question is whether pinky wears a bulge in his crotch. i fear that he may not. a man who goes by pinky is, how do you say, suspect.

Re: On Mario
DMW your questions show profound insight into the repressed hidden desires of our Mr. Pink. This bears much more discussion to get to the truth. It's quite possible that our resident economist is in love with Mario but is having trouble expressing it positively.

Re: On Mario
i hesitate to offer this suggestion because i am encroaching on your sphere of expertise, but might you advise pink to invite mario on a camping trip?

Re: On Mario
Not a bad idea DMW however I must consider the repercussions of such an event on Mr. Pink's emotional and physical wellbeing. I'm afraid that if Mario unleashes his full-on Greekness on Mr. Pink besides the physical damage, i.e. a wrecked asshole, psychologically he'll be destroyed.

All of this is accurate, except for the part where I mention IGx in class. I use the things I find here without giving credit...just like Seeahill does.Shapecharge wrote:What I'm particularly concerned about is the young minds that Pinky may be destroying if he's teaching at a university.
