The result of an innocent nudge...

OK, yiyibee nudged me. Therefore I feel obligated to post. I hope you're happy. *glowers*
Erm...I don't really have anything interesting to say, however. I hate exams. I hate exams that could have raised my grade those extra few points (*cough*MathCore*cough*), and ended up NOT DOING THAT. At ALL.

This is actually going on longer than I thought, so...


All right, that's better.

So! The other day, my brothers and I were talking about Communism, right? (I have no idea why) And one of them says, "those Mario Brothers were Communists, you know." And of course, you can't just leave a comment like that, so I had to ask, "huh?" And he immediately launches into an in-depth description of how well, they took those gold coins and...uh...redistributed them, didn't they? The entire narrative was complete with "gling" noises as he reenacted picking up the coins, and the thumping noises as Luigi (Trotsky) and Mario (Lenin) fought the White Army (those mushroom things, I think), shouting their battle cry, "BOLSHEVIK!" in Italian accents. And somehow, all of this ended with my brother gnawing on my leg like the wolves of Capitalism.

Which just leaves me with two questions:
1. How had all the Core I was studying addled my brains so much that all this madness actually made sense to me at the time?
2. How do my little brothers know so much about Communism?

Next time, you'll think twice before nudging me, yiyibee, I'm sure. So there!
