If I saw one of these, I would definitely do whatever I had to in order to hit it with my head.

This is probably a good place to note that I'm posting this for a member who already blew his post on some shoes.

Mario and Luigi realistically drawn

Ugh why so many muscles in their necks? It must be really hard to find a decent-fitting shirt, which is probably why they wear the same thing over and over again.

This guy (?) has Power Ups and Mushrooms. He has people to hold them for him. Kind of takes it to the next level.

Those realistic pictures are a little too Tom of Finland for my tastes . . .

Wow, that PosterChild website... Twinkling star background and all. Man, does that ever take me back.

I think that was the idea, though I can't read the language. bizzarrrre.

Nah, the crotches don't bulge enough to be evocative of Tom of Finland.

The realistic pictures take away every bit of the whimsy of Mario and Luigi and replace it with creepy stalker and hairy back-ness.

Eww! I'm going to back to my realistic pictures of Lara Croft and the X-Men women.

I love the idea of leaving mysterious boxes around town as much as anyone, but how long before the Koopa Troopas (i.e., the bomb squad) get called in?
