Q's place

Happy Birthday, Mario!(July 9) 1981Nintendo released the arcade game Donkey Kong (pictured), which featured the debut of Mario, “one of the most famous characters in video game history”
-wikipedia’

He wasn’t the headliner; that honor would go to the orange, barrel throwing, ape on the top girder.

Nevertheless, his sheer pluck and determination, to say nothing of his hammer wielding hi-jumping hi-jinks, would see him through to get the girl (Pauline), movie deals, and several several successive video-game variations.

Proving once again that if you want to succeed, jump softly and carry a big hammer.

Way to go  Donkī Kongu!

(oh, you too Mario!)

now whatever happened to Pauline?
