Shy Guy And Goomba Are Run-SMB


So I took a big chance at the Mushroom Kingdom dance
With a Mario who was ready to play

When he told me how to walk this way

World of Ni-Craft


King Arthur: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery.
Leader of The Knights who say Ni!: One that looks nice.
King Arthur: Of course.
Leader of The Knights who say NI!: And not too expensive.

Final Philosophical Fight


This is an entirely accurate representation of the Academy in Athens, or at least as far as I recall from class. I think I may have mentioned I wasn't a particularly strong student. (Final Philosophical Fight by Eduardo San Gil)
