Miyamoto clears up all those important Mario myths

The "Super Mario Bros. 3 is a stage play" myth is true! I always thought that was a cute theory that made a lot of sense. :o Also, the Internet is going to prep itself for Bowser/Shigeru mpreg, I just know it.

I gotta start sharing all those pet goodies I store. Let's start with cute silly doggies from Youtube!

C'mon Husky. You're a grown man.
What are those wrinkled potatoes doing here?
Pugs in the tub! My favorite part involves one puppy's reaction to the blowdrier.
Huskies fear and loathe Furbies...
...Even eight months later.
I love English Bulldog puppies. They think they're so tough.
I'm shaking in my boots!
A hairless doggie partied a little too much on New Year's Eve.
Hairless Dancing Nathan is amazing and everybody should follow him.
This is why.
I can't listen to Geronimo without thinking of Nathan and Gilligan.
Huskies love autumn!
'I want my ball, but I dunwanna get wet! DDD: ...Wait, I know!'
This pom puppy displays an unusual way of sneezing.
People meet pit bulls for the first time. Pitties are our friends!
Golden Retrievers are secretly dolphins.
'Stairs are scaaaaaaaaaaaaaryyyyyyyy!'
A bby Markiplier sings with his doxie.
Milo the Maltese versus Sharks! I wonder how Samekichi would fare.
Doggie & Cow in love~ ♥
Best Dog Breeds to watch sports (or watching movies or playing video games) with. Features a lab getting a beer and Bichon Frise representation!

This is a video Dad took of our chickens eons ago.

There's a mystery still plaguing us to this day; what kind of chickens are they? They've got these beautiful black feathers with a blue sheen, and as you can see with one of the chickens, a gorgeous golden orange pattern.

5 Reasons Pornstars Hate 50 Shades Of Grey

This is hilarious and so true. "Where's the dick!?" is a question I always ask myself whenever I watch mainstream porn and sex scenes. <.<

I'm spending my Friday the 13th at the Cattery~ ♥

Stardust writer Neil Gaiman reveals how Gone With The Wind kept his refugee cousin alive during WWII.

In this video, best-selling writer Neil Gaiman reveals how his cousin, Helen, smuggled the book Gone With The Wind into the Warsaw Ghetto during World War Two. She would read the novel at night and tell girls in the ghetto what had happened the morning after. The story gave him a personal insight into how writers can offer an “escape” from suffering.

Gaiman has written an exclusive piece on his trip to Syrian camps for Yahoo. It is contained within this article here.

I want me and my books to be like this for people someday. ;;

I almost teared up reading about Ayman and everything he does for the Syrian refugees. What a wonderful, wonderful person. ♥

Dear gods, this is so adorable. ;; Ninten, Loid and Ana's voices are perfect for them and so cute and ghdkjsghdkjsghdk

I have the urge to replay Radiation's Halloween hack of Earthbound. Think I ought to do a screencap adventure or attempt a video Let's Play? :o

My dreams can be really cruel sometimes. I dreamed I was reading this awesome Sonic comic and I was excited about getting the next one. There was also an ad for a SatAM movie done by professional animators (who worked for Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, etc.) called "The End", which is basically supposed to be the conclusion of the entire series. Dear lord, if only that was real. ;;

Also, this AMV is amazing. I know jack about Eva, but the editing... wow. *-*

Someone made a homage to BEN.wmv and the Mario 64 pasta. Not too bad. The Toads with BEN's face on them are certainly creepier than recent stuff I've seen. :P

Remember when I made fun of the Mario 64 creepypasta? This time, Sonic gets a turn! "Sonic.EXE" sure gets circulated a lot, despite well... being cliche as hell. Zalgo'd Sonic, oooooooh, scary!

The pasta's here and the gameplay's here. I also thought this guy's playthrough was rather amusing. Onto the riffing!

( TEH GAM WIT ALL TEH BLOD )

You know, there really ought to be creepypasta bingo cards, like with yaoi. I think I made a blackout with this pasta alone!

Jimmy and I were delayed by three days, since we couldn't see each other on the weekend or Monday, but when we met up yesterday, it was totally worth it. ♥ And what does he do after I read him Sonadow badfic? He looks for a .pdf of "50 Shades of Grey" to download, saying he'll read it to me once I get on Skype. Le sigh. He was surprised and disgusted that there were three books though. XD Poor Jimmy, you claim to be so logical and jaded, but you still have your naive moments.

Speaking of 50 Shades of Grey, here's a dramatic reading by Gilbert Gottfried. (NSFW, audio-wise)

I'd buy the audiobooks in a heartbeat if he ever did the entire series.

Edit: Check out the English beta names for the first 150 Pokemon!. Some of those names are... really bad. "Att"/"Lantis" for Kabuto/Kabutops? "Hocus"/"Pocus" for Abra/Kadabra? Really? "Foxfire" for Vulpix, wow so creative. :/ It's interesting how many of them retained their Japanese names though, like "Pudding"/Jigglypuff and "Lucky"/Chansey. Koffing and Weezing are referred to as "NY" and "LA"... New York and Los Angeles respectively. Dang, that's harsh. :o Meanwhile, Marowak is "Guardia", which immediately makes me want to make "Chrono Trigger" jokes.

I'll admit "Aria" is cute for Clefairy though. But then they got lazy and just added "la" at the end for Clefable's name, so I'm glad those names were ditched. :P

Puri decided to quit delaying the torture and get "Thumbelina" out of the way. While it's Idiot Plot Central, I surprisingly liked it better than "The Pebble and the Penguin." A certain song called "Let Me Be Your Wings" helps like... a whole friggin' lot. Especially since it's the best song (hell, thing) in the entire damn film. Even if it is a ripoff of "A Whole New World", it still gives me warm gooey fangirl feelings in all the right ways. So yeah, I genuinely love that song. ;; As for my thoughts on the infamous "Marry the Mole"... let's say that after I've been exposed to an atrocity like Hot Problems, I've been desensitized from the worst Barry Manilow had to throw at me from that film.

Now that I've gotten those two 90s Bluth films out of the way, that leaves me room to watch quality movies, particularly a certain obscure gem that's been recommended to me... "The Sea Prince and Fire Child"/"The Legend of Sirius" made by Sanrio, the same studio who brought you the Unico movies and "Ringing Bell."

"Sea Prince and Fire Child" is the English dub, while "Legend of Sirius" is the Japanese version. I've watched both of them similtaneously and it's interesting to compare them. Some lines/scenes I liked better in the dub than the sub and vice versa. The dub does have its fair share of Narm, though. :P Only the sub has an opening and ending theme, while the dub is just instrumental. :o Shouldn't really matter which version you watch though.

Sea Prince and Fire Child: Part 1
The Legend of Sirius: Part 1

What's it about? It's loosely based off of "Romeo & Juliet", starring an Underwater Peter Pan and a Fiery Feferi.

Non-Spoiler Verdict: Oh my god. ALL. MY. FUCKING. FEELS.

( AND THE SPOILER VERDICT. I don't think it needs a warning, but there's non-sexual boobs under the cut, just to be on the safe side. )
