Jell-o, Mario...What?
A weird idea came to my head and I was just about to start writing about it but then I listened to the Minibosses. An awesome video music cover band, just in case you were wondering. The specific song I heard was a Super Mario Bros. 2 cover. What the hell happened to that game. I still play number one on occasion, yes, I am a nerd-o. Super Mario Bros. 3 is still played by a bunch of people too. What the hell happened to 2, was there a 2? Was there some programming mishap and Mario is doing something awful to Princess Peach and they had to take it off the market. If that's the case, I need to see that. You don't understand, I need to see that now. Also, I was thinking is this really a random thought, if a song inspired it. I guess the thought itself is odd enough to be considered random. How about this thought on whether it is random, is that a random thought. I guess that all depends on whether the original thought on the Mario game was random. This is complicated and I'll have to think about. Since it is a pre-planned thought process, my answer to this will obviously not be on this blog. Back to business though. I think it would be great if we started using the words, Jell-o and ice cream in place for yes and no, respectively of course. Since alternatively using the words ice cream for yes and Jell-o for no, would just be ridiculous (Also notice my use of a dash in the word Jell-o, spell it right kids, Bill Cosby demands your respect) . My logic for this, if not only for the change, is that it will make negative situations more positive. Let me demonstrate. A small child goes into a store and sees an expensive toy he wants. He says, "Mom, can I get this?". Instead of saying no, which is basically just begging for a public tantrum, the women says ice cream, the child almost forgets about his need for the toy immediately and now wants a sundae. I just saved parents everywhere from almost certain public embarassment. Another situation. Your girlfriend asks you, "Did you forget about our date?". Now, we both know, you certainly did, now a yes, would probably land you on the defensive side of an hour long argument. Now let's see how my alternative plays out. Instead of saying yes, you say Jell-o. Her angerous thoughts are quickly displaced by thoughts of raspberry, grape, and perhaps lime flavours. You quickly step in with, "I know you're angry, I'm really sorry, but just saying Jell-o puts me in the mood for it, want to go make it together". Most people love Jell-o, so she'll probably say sure, you'll go make some, possibly you'll have a few cups in the fridge if you're lucky. Your relationship is stable, you share a moment, you get a delicious fat free dessert. I like this situation a lot better. Shit, now I'm in the mood for Jell-o.
