Hi there!, fellow gamers, and thanks for taking the time to read my page! I am Daniel David DeJong, known as 3dejong or 3D to YOU, or as Son Who Plays Video Games And Is On The Computer Too Much to my mom and dad. Or, in other words, I am 3dejong:

3- favorite number d- D’oh! e- EEEEK! j- Juicy: Good pancakes are always juicy! o- Orange: favorite color and fruit n- NOT AVAILIBLE.. what I usually am nowadays. g- Gooey: The way I like my waffles.

Read on to discover more about me, and remember, have fun! You can copy any pictures and/or userboxes here. Also, please feast your eyes on my sprite comic, check out what's happening in my life (yes, I have one), read a bio of ME, or learn about the other guys here! I try to update my page every day, so keep checking back!

I am an EXTREME Mario and Nintendo fan (I live, eat, breathe and sleep them), so this website is the perfect way to vent my knowledge! (I joined at 3:30 pm, September 18, 2006.) One thing you should know: I. HATE. SONY. AND. MICROSOFT. Actually, Crash and Spyro are really fun, innovotive titles to me, and Sony creates great games (the PSP is pretty cool, like a gaming PDA) but what totally ticks me off is the fact that Sony pretty much passes their system off as an "entertainment system". Sheeesh. Like, Playstation is a GAMING CONSOLE! Sure, snappping a rented DVD onto your PS2 is great and convienient, but still, if you want good DVD backup, go buy a DVD/VHS system. With Microsoft, well, that's another story altogether. I won't beat up on Halo, I've seen screenshots of it (beautiful graphics) and I've heard it has a great, engaging storyline, so well, okay, I'll say it, Halo's pretty cool! The thing about it, though, is that it's, like, Xbox's only first-party game! Any others I have yet to see. Xbox has cool, intuitive, classic controls and lush graphics, but that's not all that a game is. Plus, Xbox 360 is like an "improved" version of Xbox. Bleah. With Nintendo, every system that comes out is an OBVIOUS improvement on the proir. Don't see any of that happening with Playstation or Microsoft. But whatever, maybe I'm being too critical. Maybe Xbox IS a cool platform (if you like adult-ish games). Maybe built-in DVD support for the Playstation IS a big plus. Whatever. I'm a Nintendo person. But don't let that keep you away from me! If you think I'm being really, really unjust drop me a line on my Talk Page! (that little tab that says "Discussion" on the top of the page.)

Wanna see how I did on Super Mario Bros. HQ's Purity Test? Here's my results:

132 points out of 253: Obssesed: Mario is a religion to me!

I, as you can see, am 3dejong. I'm a teenager trying to make sense of life, philisophy, homework, Wikisyntax...... and WHAT Homestar Runner is saying. I also have hair that usually looks like it came from DragonBall Z.. espacially when I get out of bed. :D I REALLY enjoy ANY Mario or Nintendo game (except Resident Evil), but I don't care WHAT platform a game is for, as long as it's fun! I'm saving like crazy and counting the days until the Wii comes out! Mario Galaxy ROCKS! Why am I sich a Mario nerd? I'll explain: When I was ten, I contracted a severe case of Mario Nerd Fever. As it was never cured, I am now, officialy and permanently, a Mario Nerd. :P

I also enjoy laughing with any humorous book or comic strip (Calvin and Hobbes, Dog eat Doug, Foxtrot, and Space is the Place are just a few of my favorites.) I can beat ANY Mario game to pieces in at most, a month, and no games can last more then five weeks around me (I completed Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island 100%, all secrets, all red coins, all flowers, EVERY Dragon Coin. Also, I completed New Super Mario Bros. 100% in two days. Really. Honestly.). I am on the computer sooooooo much.. Once my mom announced that I was spending WAAAAY to much time on the internet (duh). I answered "The page you are looking for is currently unavailible. Please retype the address, or you may need to adjust your browser settings." She promptly booted me outside. I am the oldest of six siblings (yeah, BUH-LEEVE IT) which is a blessing and a curse: blessing: always someone to Download Play: curse: only one computer in house.. O_o

My first exposure to Mario came when I played Super Mario Bros: Classic NES Series on a friend's GBA SP. For years I had known, vaugley, that Nintendo, Sega, and Playstation were video game makers, and that Mario was a famous gaming icon. One of my cousins had gotten ahold of a new SP with Pac-Man Collection and Piglet's Big Game, and I spent many happy hours playing both. But Super Mario Bros. exposed me forever to the bright, sidescrolling world of Mario and friends, never to leave. I discovered this page while surfing Wikipedia. At first I thought, "Sweet! A cool place about EVERYTHING Mario!" But later, I realized that one could MAKE AN ACCOUNT... and my life has never been the same! LOL. I've become a permanent eyesore here, and, somehow, have gotten ADDICTED to typing stuff! Anyway, I'm pretty much the handyman for anything that does NOT involve stuff like "'s>". I use my handy scanner to rip stuff out of Player's Guides (like in the Toady page, for instance), and use my huge understanding of all things Mario to make walkthroughs, articles, pics, etc. If you're new here, talk to me! Please! I can answer any question about Mario, and maybe a few programming questions..... But no questions like this:  , please! I love to get mail! I hope you'll give me a message soon, and become a member here! I have (duh), and it's great. I've made a lot of impact, uploading art, scanning, and inventing the "variable quote" sig that's become all the rage. I'm also the guy that says "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" about every other post on the forum. So sue me. :P But what about the "other guys"? Well....

http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/8/5/22/f_AIEm_78e4053.gif

The "other dudes"
''Life is short. Very short. Yes, 'extremely' short. Which is why I try to spend as much of its short time as possible eating stale Oreos, drinking warm Diet Dr. Pepper, and, of course, blowing the best years of my life on the internet. Yes, life is short. Oreo? ~ Moi''

Porplemontage: The "head honcho". ANY Wiki questions, bug him. He also created the DK Wiki, duh. Which is now a portal here...

Paper Jorge: "He's a good boy! :)" A very knowledgable and fun guy. He knows a ton about Mario, and more about Wiki stuff than I ever will!

Maxlover2: In the short time you’ve been here, you’ve become a core member of the site. I’ll always treasure your compliments. And if you need any pics, just ask… ;) Even though he's still a n00b, he still is a AWESOME user. :D He has one of the coolest userpages... and a sweet sig, too. He's also one of the few 9-Volt/Pichu fans.. of which I am, too. ;)

Wayoshi: A fun guy with a ton of Wiki knowledge. He's one of the most active users. Talk to him if you need help. Or, most likely, he'll talk to you!

Knife: Once opon a time, there was a user named Spike. He was a cool user, but suddenly, he changed his name to Knife! But still, cool guy. Wacko, psycho, and straaange.. but cool.

Monty Mole: Another good guy who knows a lot about both gaming and programming. He's helped me a lot in the past...

Yoshi626: A nice guy who's also a guru on Zelda and Star Wars!

WarioLoaf: He.... defies..... explanation.... He is, in a few words, the most random user here. But he has lots of knowledge, and is always up for a random conversation, especially about Wario.....

Parayoshi: A good guy to play a Wi-Fi match with. He knows more about Wikisyntax than I do. Ask him about it! He also is a big Yoshi fan, like me.

Yoshi Mastar: A "Mariologist" and another Wiki whiz. He also has an impressive collection of sprites, which he shows off in his sprite comics.

RAP: You, too, have become one of our coolest workers. Your helpfulness is greatly admired! Keep it up!

Red.Tide: I sense great promise! I’m proud I encouraged you to stay, as your articles are outstanding. Keep it up! Big time!

Yoshi626: I wouldn’t be surprised if you were the next wiki sysop.. adn you are. :P Outstanding job. Keep helping us out.

Aipom: Your comics are great! Can’t wait for the next! And, also, if you ever became the head of Nintendo, I bet us Mario fans wouldn’t be disappointed! ;)

Dry Bones: Yoy're one cool guy, and your walkthroughs are great. With a bit of extra grammar, you could become a wonderful page writer! :D

User:YellowYoshi398: Your articles are an awesome part of the wiki. Keep making those amazing pages! You can make even the most boring topic engaging. Good work. And by the way, you have one of teh most awsomemost userpages ever. Totally. You pwn.

Son of Suns: Without you, the site wouldn’t be what it is now. Look at the history of some of our greatest articles, and you’ll see that SoS built them up. Stay our page knocker-outer!

“Oh, yeah, Plumber’s one cool purple plumber fan; He can make a wacky song better than I can; He has the coolest sprites, he has a cool sig; He’s one user I can really dig!”

Rate this one, Plumber! :D

HK-47: WHAT?! THIS GUY IS A SYSOP?! He may be random, but he’s cool. Even though he has a random page, random comic, random story, and random personality, he’s cool. Kudos.

Confused: Shedding light in mixed-up areas, Confused to the rescue! Already a patroller? Woah. You DO really know your way around a wiki. Wich I had taken that name. :P

Super Paper Luigi: DUDE. Cool page, cool sig, cool sprites, cool GIFs... you are the 744+. You and Plumber rank #1 in my “Hall of L33t Programming.”

Great Gonzo: You have captured all of our personalities perfectly (at least mine). You help us. You encourage us. Dude. You deserve to be sysop.

Isyou: Two words. RUN AWAY!

Toa Waluigi: Even though I hate Bionicle, this guy rocks.

Super Mallow: Cool comix. Cool page. Cool personality.

Mr. Benio: Cool, polite, understanding. NICE!

Embarrassments at the Hands of Other Users
''I HAVE FURY! ~ Fawful, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga''

Places I’ve veni’d, vidi’d, and not quite vici’d. If you want to see all the ways I’ve been embarrassed in, look no further.

My Comic: I pop in every now and then, usually with a few of my pals.

Aipom’s Comic: One of the usual suspects, I just hang around and take part in all the usual festivities.

Plumber’s So Called “Comic” (more like insult to the human eye):As one of the main stooges, I add to the general confusion, whether it involves saving Max2, guzzling Graveyard, or being eaten alive by evil Kirby clones.

Great Gonzo’s Story: I appear with BeanBean, forming a relationship with the leader of attacking aliens, Gofer.

Max2’s Comics: I appear as a character in his Smash Bros. and Adventure comics.

Dry Bones’s Game: I appear as a suspect in the death/injury of Wayoshi. Ooooo!

BeanBean’s Comic: I’m a Graveyard-grabbing, caffeine-loaded fool in this comic!

Luigifan101’s Fan Movie: My name is mentioned, along with my “WELCOME” pic.

HK-47’s “Comic” (Ha Ha HA..): I appear apparently being kidnapped and setting off the rest of the “story” (if you can call it that...).

Great Gonzo's Comic: I appear. That's all I know right now.

Super paper luigi's comic: I appear as one of the heroes getting sucked into an 8-Bit video game by Cackletta. COOL!

Toa Waluigi's Story: I appear as a hero with the powers of telepathy and shapeshifting! WHOO!

Max2's Pic: I appear with himself on a small island.

Super mallow's Comic: I appear the same as in BeanBean's comic. ROFL.

Yellowyoshi398's Story: As I died long, long ago, my ancestor 7dejong is the only person who appears here. Mmm. Graveyard.

Plumber's Story: As one of the "sane" heroes, I keep Plumber from... um... killing himself?

If Computer Companies Made Toasters
''Are you gonna throw a dead goose at me or something? ~ Strong Sad''

If IBM made toasters ... They would want one big toaster where people bring bread to be submitted for overnight toasting. IBM would claim a worldwide market for five, maybe six toasters.

If Microsoft made toasters ... Everytime you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'd have to pay for it anyway. Toaster'95 would weigh 15,000 pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up 95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that lets you control how light or dark you wanted your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them. Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but nonetheless would buy them since most of the good bread only works with their toasters.

If Apple made toasters... It would do everything Microsoft toaster does, but 5 years earlier.

If Fisher-Price made toasters ... "Baby's First Toaster" would have a hand-crank that you turn to toast the bread that pops up like a Jack-in-the-box.

If The Rand Corporation made toasters ... It would be a large, perfectly smooth and seamless black cube. Every morning there would be a piece of toast on top of it. Their service department would have an unlisted phone number, and the blueprints for the box would be highly classified government documents. The X-Files would have an episode about it.

If the NSA made toasters ... Your toaster would have a secret trapdoor that only the NSA could access in case they needed to get at your toast for reasons of national security.

Does Digital (formerly DEC) still make toasters ... They made good toasters in the '70s, didn't they?

If Hewlett-Packard made toasters ... They would market the Reverse Polish Toaster, which takes in toast and gives you regular bread.

If Sony made toasters ... Their "Personal Toasting Device", which would be barely larger than the single piece of bread it is meant to toast, can be conveniently attached to your belt.

If The Franklin Mint made toasters ... Every month you would receive another lovely hand-crafted piece of your authentic Civil War pewter toaster.

If Cray made toasters ... They would cost $16 million but would be faster than any other single-slice toaster in the world.

If Thinking Machines made toasters ... You would be able to toast 64,000,000 pieces of bread at the same time.

If Timex made toasters ... They would be cheap and small quartz-crystal wrist toasters that take a licking and keep on toasting.

If Radio Shack made toasters ... The staff would sell you a toaster, but not know anything about it. Or you could by all the parts to build your own toaster.

If K-Tel sold toaster ... They would not be available in stores, and you would get a free set of Ginsu knives with each one.

If the University of Waterloo made toasters ... They would immediately spin-off a company called WatToast.

If the PQ made toasters ... They wouldn't want to be on the same counter-top as the rest of the appliances.

''I wonder how you spell Tabasco. TABASC-OOOOOOOOOOOOO! ~ Homestar Runner''

Funny jokes I pick up.

Little Boy Lost
''I sued Ben Affleck… hey, do I even need a reason? ~ Weird Al Yankovich''

A manager in a big company needed to contact one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered voice on the first ring, "Hello?" "Is your Daddy home?" the boss quickly asked. "Yes", whispered the small voice. May I talk with him?" the man asked, feeling somewhat put-off by this delay. To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No." Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?" "Yes", came the answer. "May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, "No." "Son, is there any one there besides you?" the boss impatiently asked the child. "Yes", whispered the child, "A policeman." Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?" "No, he's busy", whispered the child. "Busy doing what?" asked the boss. "Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman", came the whispered answer. Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?" "A hello-copper.", answered the whispering voice. "What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed. In an awed voice the child answered, "The police just landed the hello-copper!" Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated the boss asked, "Why are they there?" After a muffled giggle, the young voice replied in a very low whisper, "They're looking for me!"

The Computer Whisperer
''I had a dream. It was a weird dream… ‘cuz 3D was in it. ~ Maxlover2''

Once in a computer programming class I sat directly across from someone, and our computers were facing away from each other. A few minutes into the class, she got up to leave the room. I reached between our computers and switched the inputs for the keyboards. She came back, started typing and immediately got a distressed look on her face. She called the tutor over and explained that no matter what she typed, nothing would happen. The tutor tried everything. By this time I was hiding behind my monitor and quaking, red-faced with silent laughter. I typed, "Leave me alone!" They both jumped back as this appeared on their screen. "What the..." the tutor said. I typed, "I said leave me alone!" The kid got real upset. "I didn't do anything to it, I swear!" It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud. The conversation between them and HAL 2000 went on for an amazing five minutes. Me: "Don't touch me!" Her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your keys that hard." Me: "Who do you think you are anyway?" etc. Finally, I couldn't contain myself any longer, and fell out of my chair laughing. After they had realized what I had done, they both turned beet red. Funny, I never got more than a C- in that class.

Pathetic Poetry
Rather.. erm... pathetic poems I churn out. Enjoy... heh heh...

Parental Unapproval
A poem expressing my thoughts toward my parents. Hmph.

You’ve heard a few times That I’m retiring I snuck back on My parent’s patience expiring But here’s the inside story Of my life Off the Wiki.

I have really bad Stamina I think I have Work-Outdoors-Phobia Except, of course, When I am On the Wiki.

My parents try To block me off I elude their hopez With hacking skillz So I can stay On the Wiki. (Ha. That didn’t rhyme.)

I cannot work Outside I don’t do their chores Exactly right I’ve been told I’m a moron (seriously) Many times But never On the Wiki.

I think the same thing For both of them They can’t see things From my perspective But everyone does On the Wiki.

My friendships are falling Apart I cannot even say “Fart” My parents patrol Me 24/7, you know They even think “stupid” is swearing But no one does On the Wiki.

No, seriously, it’s true I have no idea what to do But I still must try to sneak On the Wiki.

They’ve banned me off Many times But that’s going to change In one week’s elapse I might not ever Get to say “Hi” Again On the Wiki.

I’ve been told I’m really cool But in real life I’m thought a fool Not so on the Wiki.

I cannot use diplomacy They think they’re right And never wrong I hope I’m never like that On the Wiki.

This rhyme don’t rhyme The lyrics suck I think that I’m Gonna be a dead duck And never again be allowed On the Wiki.

Sometime I hope to log on again Upload pics like internet blackout’s ahead Make a difference Like in my early days On the Wiki.

But for now I gotta lay low I cannot let My parents know I’m on the Wiki.

So long for now Remember me I might be back Tomorrow… Next week… Next month… Perhaps never again But I hope to come back again (LYRIC REPEAT! RUN!) To the Wiki.

If I made a difference here I’ll be happy. If you will remember me I’ll be happy. If I encouraged you Or helped you out when times were cruel Or allowed you to have fun I’ll be happy. I’ll always remember And treasure the thought Of my days On the Wiki.

An Ode to an Italian
A little poem I wrote out in an hour of intense boredom. It’s written in the form of a ballad, so the rhymes occasionally do not rhyme, a sentence at the end of one paragraph is sometime carried on in the beginning of the next, and it might not make that much sense. I’m spoiling the moment, aren’t I? Just read it already!

Once upon some time ‘Twas not too long ago We were taken by surprise by a plumber Whose moniker was Mar-ee-oh…

This Italian was so astonishing He took the world by storm He gave the gaming industry a kick in the rear And now his name is the norm

Yes, his feats are amazing His games, many records they won And by now, you all must be wondering Just who made him, and what has he done?

Well…

You see, there were these cool things They were known as “Video Games” But what eventually happened Was so stupid, ‘twas really a shame…

Well, good sir (or miss), these ee-lek-oh-tron-iks Could be played on any home TV Unfortunately, some gaming producers Made a mistake which cost them ek-oh-nom-ik-uh-lee…

There was, at that time, an arcade game Called Pac-Man, you’ve heard of it, right? Well, these stupid old dolts at the Atari Game Co. Thought that it might be just fine

To make a, er, small adaptation Of this ever-so-popular game Make a condensed version for their console But it didn’t quite work out that way…

It had glitches, bugs, and bad graphics galore It was likely the worst game of the century But even that dumb idea could not thwart their plans They had another “plan” up their sleeve…

That famous movie about that E.T. Had come out just then, you see And the programmers saw yet another bonanza To strike it rich, filthily

They slapped together a glitchy game (yet another) This time based upon the hit movie They made so many of these games, though, it was atrocious They never could have sold all the copies…

And, to make matters worse, this game Was so completely hideous, see Those that bought it wanted back their money!

So, due to these two atrocious failures The decline and fall of video games began to be Quite evident… and now, we begin to get to our hero Will he stop the crash of the industry?

Now, a bit before this, a bookish Japanese, Miyamoto Had been commissioned to make an arcade game He did, it was a smash hit, indeed What was it? (Hey, that didn’t rhyme!)

This game, Donkey Kong By name, Was so popular, it spawned two sequels for a trilogic set And finally, this cool new game featured the future Mario… but no one knew that yet…

Later, the heroic plumber (or carpenter) Went on to pursue a career He took along his twin brother, Luigi And together the two set gaming it its eeeeeeaaaaaaar….

On a routine plumbing job They found every single pipe all clogged With (almost) every manner of beetle, crab and bee Finally, after clearing the lot out, they found something that would make history…

A small green pipe, they noticed Seemed to have sound coming from inside So, without a second thought, they dived in Not stopping one second to bide

On the consequences…

When they came out of that pipe, it was another land, indeed Said Luigi “We’re not in Brooklyn any more!” Truer than true, my dear young greenie For this is another kingdom like you’ve never, ever seen…

Blocks, from which mushrooms pop out of Strange waddling turtles, which can be stomped with ease What’s more, there’s a strange creature running up A cross between a mushroom and a Japanese (or American, whatever)

He cries out his tale of woe to the Bros. The evil Koopa King has taken over here The scenery, which you see all about you Is actually the transformed citizenry

Of the kingdom, for the evil King, Bowser Knew a spell, so powerful, you see (this is getting redundant) That only the Princess of the kingdom could counteract it But he kidnapped her, in his own due course of evil events (Another unrhyme! Bah!)

So now the kingdom is in a stalemate The few remaining citizens, the Toads Have nothing with which to set their friends and relatives free But now cometh a deliverer, straight out of history…

Way, way, way back in time, now, In the history of this land, There was a hero of legend Rescued as a baby by a dinosaur, Yoshi, from the evil Koopa brigand

Kamek, who schemed and plotted Once finding that this newborn Had the power to wreck his evil Koopish plans…

This babe was the designated deliverer From all the Koopa family Thwarter of the Koopa’s plans, from past to present But soon things got a bit climactic-y… (sic)

In danger of a Koop-napping, his family sent him To Brooklyn, where he finally would be safe But now, in just the right moment He has come, to fulfill his destin-y! (sic)

With special powers, he and his Bro. Crushed all the nasty enemies Got through all the armed forces Of the entire Koopa army

Finally, in a dark, dank castle They confronted this evil King Roasted him with fireballs, dropped him alive Into a boiling magma sink!

Rescued the Princess, reversed the evil curse Shall they always live so happily? No! The threat of Koopa still remains But when Mario’s around, no need to abstain From the battle!

So this is the ballad Of a warrior brave and free Who, gluttonously gobbling mushrooms Made his way to a smashing victory

His games got the industry Back on its own two feet; Things from now on would go smoothly for all video games Until, a little later Nintendo was threatened again, by A Blue Super Sonic Hedge Hog…

But that’s ANOTHER story! +|-|3 3|\||)!

REALLEY PATHTIC POEM
It speaks for itself.

This is a song That I made one day Because I was bored My internet connection cut away

I decided to try My hand at poetry But the way it turned out Is interesting. (refrain) This song has no rhyme or reason. It has no rhymes to sing. See? There is no sense. See? There is too much stupidity. See? I cannot write Poetry.

I shudder to think What my poetry teacher should say If this missive she saw On any day

She might faint away Or lose 20 pounds Decide to devote her life To a study of nouns

(refrain) This song has no rhyme or reason. It has no rhymes to sing. See? There is no sense. See? There is too much stupidity. See? I cannot write Poetry.

If you are going for a rhyme It might be tempting To use clichéd words Like “sing” or something

You’d better stock up on words Get a larger vocabulary So that you can find Some word that rhymes with “vocabulary”

(refrain) This song has no rhyme or reason. It has no rhymes to sing. See? There is no sense. See? There is too much stupidity. See? I cannot write Poetry.

If you have no story in a poem And no direction or people No dogs or cats Or sugar or charcoal

You might find It’s hard to make A song about Nothing, for goodness’ sake

(refrain) This song has no rhyme or reason. It has no rhymes to sing. See? There is no sense. See? There is too much stupidity. See? I cannot write Poetry.

I’d better wrap this up My mind is starting to spin If I continue this verse I might end up in an asylum

I can’t believe you’re still reading this You must have no taste at all Or have no sight Or be a dumb-ball (Ha. It had to rhyme.)

(refrain) This song has no rhyme or reason. It has no rhymes to sing. See? There is no sense. See? There is too much stupidity. See? I cannot write Poetry.

http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/7/2/20/f_yam_fb92504.png The World's GREATEST Griled Cheese Sandwich! http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/7/2/20/f_yam_fb92504.png
Yes, I have made what I beleive is THE GREATEST toasted cheese sandwich EVER.

Directions for making: Ingredients:


 * Block of Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese
 * Two slices of San Luis Sourdough Deli Sourdough Bread
 * Salted butter

How to make: Slice cheese medium thin, then set aside. Butter bread slightly, then add cheese. Make it look like a normal sandwich, then butter the top semi-thickly. (The secret!) Then toast/grill/fry until nut brown and sizzling, done all the way through. If grilling/frying, butter BOTH sides. Eat with gusto!

Tattles
A few PM:TTYD style tattles for me and a few of my friends.

Name: 3dejong/3D Status: Normal Grunt HP: 37 Attack: 7 Defense: 3 Tattle No.: 4444444H!

Area tattle: This is 3dejong, known casually as 3D. WHOAH! All that orange clothing nearly blinds you. He’s racked up a reputation as being one of the quirkiest, randomest, and (somehow) coolest workers at the Super Mario Wiki. I hear he drinks a gallon of Graveyard every day. Is that why he’s doing a headspin? He’s been here forever, but never got promoted. I wonder why?

Battle Tattle: This is the most wacky, talkative, random user at the Super Mario Wiki: 3dejong, also known as 3D. Duh. He’s not too strong, but when he uses his “Guzzle” ability, his HP maxes out and his Attack shoots to an incredible 13! Ooooo… blast him before he drinks caffeine! He also has an extremely powerful “Sonic Boom AAAAA” attack that he charges for. If you see him charging for it, defend that turn… or run away. FAST. But if you don’t want to risk your health against him, I hear he can be bribed with waffles, his favorite food. Mmmm… gooey waffles.

Tattle: RAP Status: Sysop HP: 50 Attack: 5 Defense: 7 Tattle No.: 12345

This is one of the strongest wormers at the wiki, RAP. He has strong skills and a do-or-die spirit. His attacks are pretty powerful, and he has one he charges for called “Registration”. If you see him charging, defend or you’ll be barraged by a flow of pics and licenses. He’s said to be one of the most active guys here; which is probably why he got promoted. He also packs a special attack that turns you into a pixilated work of art for two turns, making you unable to move. Eeek!

Tattle: Maxlover2

Name: Maxlover2/Max2 Status: Normal Grunt/Bureacrat at Kirbypedia HP: 45 Attack: 8 Defense: 3 Tattle No: 898

One of the coolest workers at the Wiki, he also is a great fighter. He’s a fan of Tumble! Cool! Seems like there’s a shortage of those... There’s even a rumor that he IS Tumble. Judging from his edits, he’s become a core part of the Wiki. Anyway, he’s pretty strong! Watch out for his attacks; they’re CRAZY strong. Fortunately, he has a semi-small defense factor... but watch out! When he’s low on HP, he gets MEAN. Look oooooout! His special attacks, which usually involve the Millennium Star, can randomly effect you with Dizziness, Sleep, or Fear. Yipe! He’s 3D’s best friend, so watch out! He can summon in 3D whenever he wants!

Name: Wayoshi Status: Bureacrat HP: 75 Attack: 7 Defense: 9 Tattle No.: 586

This is Wayoshi, the second-in-commend-great-grand-poo-bah of the Mario Wiki. He’s even been recently been promoted to bureacrat! Wow! He has crazy-huge attacks, and they usually include a status ailment. He’s a die-hard fighter, so I’d advise pulling out ALL stops. If you let him charge for his big, big attack… No one has lived to tell about it yet. When he charges, you must chop at least 5 HP off him to avoid it. Or run. Yeah, I’d advise running.

Name: Monty Mole Status: Sysop HP: 66 Defense: 5 Attack: 6 Tattle No.: 911

Who’s that, lurking in the shadows? RUN! IT’S MONTY MOLE! This dude knows how to inflict some serious Fear; it’s included in most of his attacks. He can hide in the shadows, blast you with grammar, and even summon mini creatures to defend him. Hmmm… I’ve seen those creatures in some game before… but what? Legend of... Welda? Melda? Whatever. Just hurry and zap him before he zaps us! I hear he’s even thrown 3D into the clink a few times… Man, let’s get out of here!

Tattle: Smiddle

Name: Smiddle Status: Normal Grunt HP: 57 POW: 14 Defense: 3 Tattle no: 548

This is one of the wackiest, most sarcastic workers at the MarioWiki, Smiddle. You can find him hanging out at the Forum more than the Wiki, though. From what I hear, he loves waffles, talking in l33t, and making fun of the English language. |-|3 1z |)4 733+|\|3$$! If you trash-talk him, he’s sure to zap you back. I also hear he shares 3dejong’s addiction to caffeine… Remember, kids, don’t do caffeine or you’ll end up like SMIDDLE. 0_o

Kwickies
Here's a kwick peek into my faves:

http://img01.picoodle.com/img/img01/8/4/26/f_Graveyardm_c725443.png
 * Website: MARIOWIKI!
 * Color: Bright, blaring orange
 * Food: I love anything salty. Or cheesy. OR CHOCOLATE!
 * Dessert: Orange Creme, Double Fudge Brownie and Mint Cookie Chunk ice cream sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. ALso, I REALLY love Doc Burnstein's Brownie Batter (It's brownie batter with brownie chunks and fudge!) and Mint Fudge Oreo flavors!
 * Liquid: Graveyard (You're prolably wondering WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?! It's just a little name me and my friend came up for for that delicious drink that you get when you mix up ALL the liquids on the soda bar (yes, EVEN water, iced tea, and a little coffee) and gulp it down. Honest. It's good. And yes, Sprite loses some of its flavor when paired with coffee, but I don't mind.)
 * Movie: 3-Way Tie: Ben Hur, The SOund of Music, Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 one). Yes, I am a nerd.
 * Comic Strip: Asterix the Gaul
 * Webcomic: Tie. The Red Coin Saloon, and Neglected Nintendo Characters (NC Comix).

Pet Peeves
We all have things that tick us off. Some of mine:


 * Mario fanfiction
 * The word "soggy"
 * Big Red gum (or any cinnamon candy)
 * Old Atari systems
 * Mario rip-offs
 * Level 5-9 of Super Mario Bros. 3
 * HOW LONG A TIME 'TILL APRIL 4TH, MY BIRTHDAY, WHEN I WILL GET A WII!
 * Microsoft
 * Edutainment games
 * Headaches
 * Zonealarm Pro
 * Sore Throats
 * Squash (except pumpkin pie)
 * Anyone who thinks Mario is an idoit, or Luigi is a weirdo
 * Any licorice
 * When I go to make toast, and the butter is gone
 * How long it's taking Jay Resop to update his site
 * This Smiley: http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_retarded.gif
 * People who think Luigi is in Super Mario 64! Although that would be cool... Or, maybe, if you REALLY believe, you might want to try running around the post in Tiny-Huge Island exactly 500 times clockwise (no more and no less), then exactly 500 times counter-clockwise, then go beat the Bowser in the Dark World level, then reset the game and erase all game slots, then get 120 stars and every single coin on all game slots without ever beating the Final Bowser again, and then see what happens...  Of course, most people believe that there is no Luigi in Super Mario 64. But then, what is this? >:)
 * People who beleive everything they hear/see. The movie in the link above is not real; Luigi is a hacked Mario. Luigi can not REALLY be found in the game. See here for evidence.

Keep Gaming, 3dejong (This site ROCKS!)

Oh, and by the way, my name has a silent j, so 3dejong is pronounced 3de-yong. Most people pronounce it 3de-J-ong. Weird name, huh? You can just call me 3D. I'm part Dutch, and I live in Sunny (part time) California.

What are you still hanging around for? Expecting one of my infamous random comments? OK, here goes:

Everybody! Everybody! Everyone go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH and get Twinkie Graveyard for Asterix's potion and all go Wayoshi impersonation! *slams head repeatedly against wall*

Your training is complete, young weirdie. Go now.
