Medals for Trials of Modern Love






Some of the medals in Stefan Bucher's Medals for Trials of Modern Love:
For more than two millennia, heroic public deeds have been rewarded with medals. But what about personal affairs? You Deserve a Medal commends those who struggle in the search for true love with forty hilariously truthful stops along that timeworn path.
You can see closeups of several of the medals here, and the book is $15 at Amazon. Via.

2. You might have recently seen OK Cupid's report about female attractiveness. Here's the real message to take away from it:
In the marriage market what you want is not so much to increase your attractiveness to the average person but rather to the one person who will cherish your unique features. Thus--conditional on attracting a decent number of suitors from a reasonable pool etc.--what you want to do is accentuate your unique features even if doing so reduces your average ranking.
3. Interesting tale of the time the Philadelphia Flyers played the Red Army team in 1976 - - the Red Army wanted to quit due to the Flyers' violent play, but agreed to continue because they wanted their payday. Via.

Custom Super Mario World game used to propose





Adam created a specialized playable version of Super Mario World that culminated in a marriage proposal to Desiree, who explains:
Saturday September 11th…he tells me he’s been playing around with programming video games. I think this is an awesome idea; he has been so busy at work that I have been trying to motivate him to do something that makes him happy. So he tells me, play my game, I put a spin on Super Mario World.

So, I start to play the game; It is now called ‘Super Dez Word’ I get through 5 levels no problem, and even found the secret level. All the levels had names that I recognized from things we have talked about, favorite movies, etc. Well, the last level is where I started having problems. Like every video gamer, I got frustrated and didn’t want to play, but he was so persistent to get me to finish this level. So together we finished it ( he doing most of the work…) then it goes to the little cut scene and says “what is next for the hero”…so I go to the next level and a black text box pops up with white lettering that said “Will you marry me”…
