KKVII Results

Bravo Jesse, for claiming the Kart Kup for the second time. But I think you will find that it is the third Kart Kup victory that proves to be elusive. Here are the final scores. Pretty crazy how similar these totals are to the KKVI results, with the exception of Jesse and Justin swapping places. Next time it is my turn.

1. Jesse - 369
2. Justin - 359
3. Dave - 347
4. Mike - 255

And a moment of silence for this poor unfortunate coffee table tile. May it rest in pieces.

A Little Diddy

We are having a boy! Mike and Justin just need to have boys now too so the Kart Kup Brotherhood can live on after we are gone.

Kart Shortcuts & Bugs

Here are some informative videos on some of the lesser known shortcuts and glitches in our beloved Mario Kart. Of course these are off limits in Kart Kup play, but feel free to perfect them in your efforts to establish unbreakable time trial records, or in playing tricks on your spouse if/when she decides to play you.

Size counts

I said I wanted a tune up, not a beatdown!

Kristen has been playing Kart with me this week so I can get tuned up for Saturday. But racing as Bowser Monday night, she absolutely smoked me. She won 10 out of 15 tracks (we skipped Rainbow Road). She got every conceivably break, always pulling ahead at the last second to win.

Never having experienced this level of success against me before, she was really yucking it up. I challenged her to a rematch Tuesday night, and I promptly dominated to the tune of 14-2. Nice to see things are right in the world again.
