Done the Mario

Just saw over on Twitter that the legendary Captain Lou Albano has died. Those who are fans of 80's pro wrestling will remember him fondly. Those who love The Goonies surely will remember him in the Cyndi Lauper music video done for the movie. The rest of us will remember him for his early portrayal of Mario. Now the Super Mario Super Show wasn't what you would call "good" but neither was a lot of the classic cartoon shows of our collective childhood. So I say swing your arms from side to side, not to do the Mario, but to remember a great entertainer who did so much to bring all of us joy in our lives.

Plus, who among us has the gall to say Bob Hoskins was the better Mario? Captain Lou was down right Shakespearean in his portrayal!

My first thought when I heard the news was actually 'Oh, no! Mario is dead!'
