While I love to fly my geek flag, there’s a lot to be said for the little things. The small nods to your childhood and the kinds of goodies that, if spotted by another geek, will spark conversation almost immediately.
I mean, think about it. Mario’s easy to recognize. But it takes that little extra something to enjoy the geek cool of these rather adorbz iPad cases from HoobyGroovy.
These Super Mushroom, 1-up Mushroom and Goomba iPad cases are only $40.00 (a small price to pay for keeping schumtz away) and, you never know, maybe they’ll extend your iPads battery life. *plink!*

The “1-Down” Mushroom created by DeviantArt user Undead Ed is to Mario what Kryptonite is to Superman. If consumed, this mushroom will give Mario the ability to shake uncontrollably with the chills, vomit, have extreme paranoia, and, of course, make time stand still. Too many, and it just might be game over for Mario.

Having watched a lot of people playing Super Mario over the years, the enemies of Mario seem to kick a lot more ass than Mario himself. So if you want to tough out that paper cut with an equally tough bandage, these Nintendo Enemies Bandages would be a good choice. You get Bullet Bill, the Goomba mushroom and the Piranha Plant. Every one a deadly assassin in Nintendo’s world.

I’ve seen large mario mushroom “massagers” before, but this version is small enough to use in the bedroom when you and the wife dress up like Mario and the Princess. Looks like Mario might actually score this time.

Your mother will think this is an interesting mushroom sculpture. Your friends will enjoy smoking their tobacco out of it after removing two of the caps. Yeah, you read that right, tobacco. What else would you use a pipe to smoke?
