One of the great thing about teaching screenwriting at a college is that it keeps me young.

Well…

To be totally honest, it just keeps me feeling young.

Okay, okay.

Actually it keeps me thinking that at some point in my life, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I used to be young.

And what a perfect segue to this fan-mad ad that traces the ‘growth’ of the classic game character Mario – from his ‘youth’ (Donkey Kong) to his whatever he is now.

Beautifully underscored by the fact that one of my UNC students Sam Morgan sent me the link.

H/T to you, Sam! Ooops. Think I just threw out my back with that tip of the hat…
