Mind-numbing facts relating to Speed Racer's Japanese title follow... Enter at your own risk.


(1) In Japan, Speed Racer's title = Mach ("mahha") GoGoGo.
(2) The Japanese name for the main character, Speed Racer, = Go Mifune.
(3) "Go" = 5 in Japanese.
(4) "Go" in English = to move or proceed.
(5) Go Mifune's car's name = Mahha-go.
(6) The Japanese character pronounced "go" in Mahha-go does not mean 5, but actually means "item number."
(7) Taking the above into consideration, the show's title, Mahha GoGoGo, means "Mach-go Go Mifune Go!"
(8) The M on Speed Racer's helmet can both stand for his Japanese surname "Mifune" and "Mahha-go."
(9) Similarly, the G on Speed's shirt could stand for his first name "Go," or even be a reference to the number 5.
(10) Gogogo is a general Japanese sound effect for rumbling.

I know some of you think the Game Jolt staff is full of puns, and yes we are, but my goodness if this isn't on a completely different level...

I made this salad for MumBlargh, and she wants me to share it with you all.

Hmm... That's a lot of mouths to feed. I might have to make a bigger salad, huh.

Big thank you to my top ten supporters, and everyone who sends charged stickers my way—it means a lot.

Getting ready to do a little volunteer work with friends this morning. I'm all bundled up—it's chilly out there. Stay cozy, y'all.

Here, take this random doodle painting of Hattie I scribbled while my brain was in sleep mode.

Hold on to your seat, Grandpa! I'm determined to catch up with my notifications!

No Man's Sky just added trucks!

Wow, a lot of you like chili dogs so far, so here you go, I doodled a completely normal chili dog for y'all!

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start! I'm brainstorming ideas for a "farmer's market" pattern design challenge.

My image host was trying to tell me that my collection of Speed Racer gifs suddenly didn't exist, and I was PANICKING. Wound up just being some weird glitch solved by signing out and signing back in. Phew...

Hey everyone, hope you're having a good weekend. I'm just spending some time with one of my squirrel friends. Take care, love y'all!
