Mario Etch A Sketch deserves to remain unshaken for eternity

Our Etch A Sketch skillz are limited to jagged representations of dogs with different length legs and houses with no windows, so our only response to this depiction of Mario by the Etch-a-Sketchist is one of hushed awe.

If we could manipulate aluminum filings with such faultless precision, the very last thing we'd think about would be erasing this. Heck, we'd be hanging the damn thing on our wall.

Amazing stuff, indeed!

There was an Etch-a-Sketch artist on Letterman a while back. If memory serves, he said to save a sketch, you have to drill a hole in the back and drain the remaining filings, or something to that effect.

Me + Etch-a-Sketch = no skill whatsover. I can barely make a straight line, much less a curved one.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed my Etch-A-Sketch a lot. It's limited drawing mechanisms made for quite a fun toy. I had once made a very accurate recreation of the LoZ1 version of Link on one. Not the simpler drawings used throughout the manual, but the more detailed drawing of him kneeling with his shield in front of him.

Really wish I had a camera at the time... Or maybe I can find my Etch-A-Sketch somewhere...
