Problem: How to get laid. Solution: Edit Super Mario World. I got the idea from About.com. Baby.

I'd complain about the callousness of rejecting out of hand a date with someone incapable of clonking the yellow p-switch in Super Mario World except that it really is a deal-breaker.

Though a custom ascension message in Nethack would probably be pushing it. Save that for the marriage proposal.

How to get laid?

Do the exact opposite of everything this guys says.

In the distant future, there will be almost no remnants of the Internet except for a lone server pushing out About.com.

Borrow my cars-and then you give us a test."
"What? The Mario test?
"Mario? mario's a fuckin psycho."

Its 1986, I'm in the first grade,
I'm workin really hard to get mario laid,
I gotta save the princess so he can get the pussy,
Believe me-mario will get that ass so fuck luigi,
Mario really wants to get her in bed,
So bad that he's bustin up bricks with his head,
He just wants sex - so forget the wedding bells,
Jumping on lil mushroom men and turtle shells.
Dropping down green pipes and secret passage ways,
Making his move to the end,
Where the final castle lays.
Eat a magic mushroom, grow a little higher,
Eat a white flower and spit balls of fire.
All these creatures that attack won't cut Mario slack.
Oh shit, hold on, I’ll be right back.

*Playing game-button pushing*

I’m gonna beat the game if it takes me all summer,
It’s gotta be hard to get laid if you’re a plumber.
That’s why I’m gonna work extra hard for my man,
And get him to the end so he can stop using his hand.
Mario doesn’t wanna get hit, he’ll shrink,
The princess wont fuck a little kid… I think.
So stay firm and attend to your own,
And eventually the princess will attend to you’re bone.

Chorus *twice*

Save the princess quick,
Because she wants a dick.
And if you let her free,
You get the pussy

Bowser’s trying to get head right now from the princess,
But if it’s up to me that shit'll stop this instance.
Cloud people throwing little spiked animals,
Green plants with teeth that attack like cannibals.
I heard no body’s yet run in the princess’s oven,
And Mario always says, “Virgins, I love em!”
I hate the Koopa Troppers so I’m gonna run up,
And jump on the back of their shells til I get one up.
I’m gonna keep playing and I’m never gonna quit,
Because some kid at school told me you can see the princess’ tits.
I’m gonna beat it before any of my friends do,
So I can say I put pussy up on Mario’s Menu.
At the end of each level, I jump up and get the flag,
And say to myself, “Another castle’s in the bag.”
I hope Bowser’s ready cuz he’s in for a ride,
And Mario’s serious when it comes to homocide.
The princess is a freak even though she has class,
Mario will take a plunger and put it in her ass.
I hate the cannons, that shoot at you constantly,
And I hate platforms that fall out from below me.
It’s all worth while just to see Mario smile,
Standing next to the princess, buck naked profile.
So that’s why it’s my crusade to get Mario laid,
Super Mario Brother’s, best game ever made.

Chorus *twice
Save the princess quick,
Because she wants a dick.
And if you let her free,
You get the pussy.

If you strip away all the dorky "how to get laid stuff," it's a pretty good intro on how to edit the Mario ROM.

Next up, how to answer the big question: We've been together for a while, and I've never felt this way about anyone before. So I have just one thing to ask you. Can I have root privileges on your Linux server?

Of course! Finally, an alternative to roofie-ing myself and crossing my fingers.

I think you applied the adjective "dorky" to the wrong part of that sentence.

As a woman who used to spend almost every day of her childhood playing NES and SNES games, I can see how this would be very sweet, romantic and, of course, nostalgic.

Can I at least have a hug for my efforts?

Oh, also: points to this guy for at least being honest about who he is when dating. He'll scare off 99%* of the ladies, but keep the match.

*percentage based on assumption that he actually finds 100 women to try this on

I dunno, I think it's sweet. All that effort expended to try and say something nice? This is no different than when guys carved love spoons or as a more grandiose example, built big castles and houses for their sweethearts. Same message, different genre.
