I found this story at The Onion about a guy who had Super Mario Brothers on pause for 18 years and I had to share it with you.
From the story:
"My mom would not get off my back until I did all my laundry, and then I had all this stupid school work I had to finish," Rigali said regarding his decision to leave the game paused until after he picked up his room, graduated from college, and dated a woman for 7 years.
Astonishing, truly astonishing. Read the article here. I didn't have a picture to go with the story, so I put up a picture of my girlfriend for your viewing pleasure. Technically, she's not really my girlfriend. Yet. But I have a strong feeling in my pants that we're destined to be together.
