Death by a thousand bananas the last two weeks. Sounds like most of my Mario Kart games!
Yeah. Me, I’m usually driving off the edge into the water. It’s a perilous game.
Congrats Joel! It was a pretty close race.
Unfortunately I answered the first question before I knew Gray was out.
Whew… tough season of Mario… but I will take a top ten finish and run. However, I think we need to check the ballots again to make sure there no extra banana’s in the winner’s cart. 😉
