Feb 20 2009 Talented Geekologie Reader Makes Mario 1-Up Mushroom From Tequila Bottle Cork

It never ceases to amaze me the talent you Geekologie Readers possess. In this particular case, reader Bexx B. made a 1-Up mushroom out of the cork from a bottle of tequila she chugged. *swoon*
So, because I am a drunkard. After finishing off my bottle of Trader joes Tequila - I looked @ the cork.. and thought WELL goddamn! it looks like a mushroom.So I made this from it. A 1-up Mushroom! HA!
Wow, creative AND an alcoholic. Really reminds me of somebody I know -- The Superficial Writer! Half burn?
Thanks Bexx, now eat it and tell us what happens.
