So I've played a lot of Mario Kart lately. I recently hosted an Aussie exchange student (awesome experience!!!) and I frankly kicked his butt at first but then he came back at me with a vengeance. Then I was playing it today with one of my coworkers and I realized how much fun playing online is. It's with a bunch of strangers and I dunno it's fun! Dear Theo, wherever you are, whoever you are, I enjoyed racing against you, and even though I won, I hope it was a great experience for the both of us. There's also those people who are way too good at Mario Kart and are basically impossible to beat...
Why am I talking about Mario Kart, you ask? I have no idea. It's been one of those games you can trace though my childhood. Double Dash!! is my favorite, by the way, reader. Care to disagree? :) Also, I've been replaying an excellent XBOX game, Voodoo Vince, and it's fantastic. Except I deleted the entirety of the game's memory from my XBOX and then realized afterwards that I probably could have easily accessed my saved data I thought I had lost. Oops.
Also, I have neglected to answer one of my reader's questions. So I will answer that now. A reader asked: "What is the function of a rubber duck?" Dear reader, you have come to the right place to discover the functionality of synthetic, water-based fowl. This is a question I believe we have all pondered at least once or twice in our lives, and it was so eloquently asked by a certain Mr. Weasley to the great Harry Potter. Unfortunately, the scriptwriters of that movie did not give Harry the proper opportunity to answer Arthur's curious and deeply troubling question, so I will do so now. Since the dawn of time, the rubber duck has been a favorite bathtime play-toy of children. Just kidding, I have no idea how long the rubber duck has been around. Anyways. The true function? To cure anatidaephobia. Yes, readers. To cure that terrible phobia, the one fear that has plagued all of our hearts. (Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. Just by the way.) What better way to cure this than to have a fake duck stare at us while we bathe? Seem foolproof, don't you think?
