Even stranger is that this is closely connected to the concept of 'Schadenfreude', wich you don't have a word for.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

That's because we would never delight in another's misfortune, no matter how deserved it was.

Big mistake. Rub it in, otherwise they will never learn.

I suppose most readers know English is tough stuff[^]. If not, it is worth a try at reading out loud!
(The refererence to Nato at the top is BS - the poem was first published in 1929 or 1930, fifteen years before Nato was established. There is a longer version of the poem, but this one - which is one commonly presented - is bad enough...)

My wife, who is a USian, managed about 99% of that. Curiously, she didn't know what a "granary" was.

 Yes I was late with it, but IIRC you're early. I thought it was due at 0900 GMT, not BST.
(I have noticed some setters going early by my reckoning.)

 Very impressive! At first I thought it a bit gimmicky, then watched as she explained that the 'slightly modded' C64 is actually serves as more than a bass body...mind blown!

That's what I thought as well at first, until she showed it was using the actual onboard hardware to produce/alter the sound. Rather impressive.

I'm not even sure if you're talking about the actual woman or if you've decided the C64 bass-guitar is feminine

Mario turns 35 today... Had great fun playing it in nineties.
Memories coming back for who all?

Oh don't start.
I just finished decades of therapy because of that song.
Not really but you get it.

Just last week I was playing Borderlands (the PS4 remaster) and got the "My brother is an Italian plumber" trophy by killing an enemy by jumping on its head.
Back in the days I played Super Mario 1, 2 and 3 on the NES and later Super Mario Land 2 on Gameboy.
Two years ago I bought the SNES Mini and played Super Mario RPG and Super Mario World.
Of course I've also played various Super Mario Kart games, but never owned any myself.
Both the Super Mario and Kart formulas have proven popular and have been copied countless of times.
I also loved the movie as a kid.
"Name? Mario. Last name? Mario. Okay, what's your name? Luigi. Luigi Luigi? No, Luigi Mario. Okay, how many Mario's are there between you? Just three, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.  "
Super Mario's influence on gaming and popular culture cannot be overestimated.
Happy birthday, you awesome plumber!
