[Bebpo]

Today started off as a normal day being an ALT (assistant language teacher) in Japan. I was doing my normal routine of being an idiot while supplying semi-valuable english to upcoming creative Japanese minds.

I could tell something was about to go wrong when I was called over by a group of 16 year old girls. Since I was eager to help them on their english worries I made my way over to the group with the smiling face of English. It's when the conversation started that the unthinkable happened:

[english version of conversation]
Girls: Hey bebpo [not real name], do you know Mario?
Me: You mean like the "Its me! Mario!" Mario?
Girls: hahah, yea that one!
Me: Yeah I know my Mario history.
Girls: We'll we were thinking...you look like him.
Me: [thinking]: Well Mario is a pretty cool guy so I guess this a compliment!
Me: Ah, so I look like Mario? Cool.
Girls: No, no. You look like the other one! Like Luigi!
Me: [imagining the Kobunheat Godfather pic of Luigi on the boat] >_<

So is that about it for my social life? I mean how can expect to meet the woman of my dreams when I look like Luigi Is Luigi secretly stand for "cool and sexy guy"? Hmm, I'm afraid to look in the mirror and start imaging myself as Luigi ;_;

 

[demi]

Luigi has a big cock.

 

[J2 Cool]

Luigi has a big cock.

that's true, mario got whooped in that category, and always feels like he has to show his worth by saving mushroom kingdom. But anyway, if it makes you feel any better, I was called John from Garfield today. That bitch. Odd thing is, she has a thing for John I think, the pervert. So I just said in my best Joe from Family Guy voice "Yes! I am all about John over here!"

Luigi is the videogame Christian Troy. After a hard day's Goomba stomping, Mario comes back to find Luigi cornholing Peach AND Toadstool

 

[Dujour]

Jumps higher.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Luigi > Mario

Of course, this means you're gay.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

:lol

 

[Blackace]

Well I always get "You look like Bob Sapp" It is funny because he is my friend, so I don't mind as much... But it would make me upset if I was always being compared to some random black guy..

The best part about this story is I now have a little mini fro going, and people still say it! :lol :lol

 

[ToxicAdam]

Mario is Alec Baldwin

...and Luigi (you) is Danny Baldwin.

The bad news? You won't get as laid as much as Mario/Alec ... the good news? People will want to hang out with you and ask "So, what is Mario/Alec REALLY like?"

 

[Odnetnin]

This pic is incomplete with a pic of you Bebpo (i've seen you in a pic posted before though). Still incomplete without you and that hot japanese GF.

 

[lexy]

Who the fuck is Danny Baldwin? :lol

I thought there were only two Baldwin brothers? Stephen and Alec.

 

[olimario]

We need to see some pictures, Bebpo.

 

[Archaix]

Who the fuck is Danny Baldwin? :lol

I thought there were only two Baldwin brothers? Stephen and Alec.

There's also a Billy Baldwin, actually.

 

[dark10x]

Ha ha, the first person that came to my mind when I saw that pic was Lorne Lanning. Sorry Yanni...

 

[shuri]

Fix the lottery and send them to Battle Royale. It worked for Kitano.

If it's bothering you that much, just shave the moustache and ditch the green overalls.

You're friends with Bob Sapp? Cool.

thats awesome.

i've forced so many of my friends to watch the Sapp Time! video.

and i'm always asking those people who insist they know "everything" about japan (when in reality all the knowledge they have is confined to anime) that SURELY they must have heard of Bob Sapp, and i get blank stares everytime
:lol

 

[impirius]

Go Luigi, go Luigi, oh yeah, oh yeah

 

[Blackace]

:lol

He gave me that DVD... if anyone has the real DVD that was a free give away with something... it is no coincidence that he is wearing the same Michael Jackson white jacket while laying on his side... :lol :lol :lol

 

[RevenantKioku]

Haha, that probably wasn't a good idea, no?

 

[Minotauro]

Wait, wait, you're friends with Bob Sapp? That's pretty cool...

Actually, though, I bet the majority of black guys in Japan get told they look like Bob Sapp on occasion. That guy at outpostnine.com said it happens to him...

Next thing you know, they're going to be confusing you with this man:

Yeah I have been friends with him for awhile... before he was famous... so he is just a good buddy of mine... That's why it is so easy for me to laugh it off... But if people start calling me Tony Batista... I will be pissed

[Soul4ger]

Maybe they mean this Luigi!

 

[Tazznum1]

I used to think he was hooot. Why? I don't know, I was like 16 or so.

 

[Ristamar]

:lol

 

[Jotaro]

Just look at the bright sides: Mario is short and fat, but Luigi is tall and slim!

 

[demon]

Who the fuck is Danny Baldwin? :lol

He was the fourth Baldwin, born inbetween Christopher Baldwin and Lamont Baldwin.

 

[android]

Just be happy knowing that Luigi lays a lot of pipe (during the course of a workday)

 

[Lyte Edge]

Just look at the bright sides: Mario is short and fat, but Luigi is tall and slim!

That's what I was thinking. Now if this were to happen to ME, I would be called "Mario." Or for a far better similarity, it would be "Sirent Bobu! You look like Sirent Bobu!!" ^_^; (I don't have any facial hair though)

Bebpo, is shaving not an option?
