B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for July 22, 2024

Keep an eye out for turles and Goomba’s

Knock your head against it for fun

Help—I don’t get it. Need to be asleep….

It just appeared out of “nowhere”, like the Monolith at the beginning of 2001, A Space Odyessy

Eh? What on earth this be?

Mama mia!

For those of you who don’t get it, this is a mystery block from the Mario/Super Mario/Mario Brothers video game. In the game they contain prizes like coins or different items that give Mario special powers.

“Designed in Japan made in Italy” is probably a reference to the facts that the game was designed by Nintendo in Japan and the heroes Mario and his brother Luigi are Italian

Go on BC! Jump and bump your head against it!! You might get some coins or shrooms!

And wha are those weird sounds in the background?

Italy… Has India disappeared when they invent time machines?

Reminds me of an old SNL sketch with Steve Martin and Bill Murray, where two hicks see something they can’t identify and keep repeating ‘what the h*ll is that ?’

Interrobang

I say hit it! :D

Designed in the United States. Made in China.

It’s just a placeholder for a character or emoji that your device doesn’t recognize or can’t display. It’s a computer error. You must remember, the land of B.C. is just a computer simulation of life. If you see one of these floating about in the real world, you should be worried. You may not be real at all !!!

Be careful of carnivorous plants too

Looks a little heavy…..watch out!!!!

That solves everything.

“Designed in Japan, made in Italy”. ROFL x1000. Brilliant.

It can’t be Italian. It doesn’t have the word “FRA-GI-LE” on it.

Ooh! I hope it’s a feather!

Neither of which exists at this point.

It’s questionable.

Is it just me, or does Clumsy look a bit like Marcy?

To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune … with which we octogenarians are all too familiar.

Sold online by a company in Rumania.

Do they get a kickback for plugging Mario?

I asked my son about this, so he turned on my Super Nintendo console and played one of the many Mario Bros. games that are pre-loaded on it. One of these days I might actually play the game myself. I’m better with Atari games.

WOW, so cool. Just watched the super Mario Bros movie yesterday!

Made in Italy? Is it Frah-GEE-Leh?

I bought tires from a company out of India and made in Mexico

Designed in Palo Alto, CA, made in China.

Life is a game. Now made by Hasbro.

Must be natives of Italy and Japan
