    So Wolf killed a seventy year old man? I liked this meme better when he was just telling people they can't do various things, not implied murder.

  7. Roflcopter419 on October 22nd, 2009 3:39 am

    Wolf is an Arwing pilot, and has killed many people. He has had a bounty on his head for about $3,000,000 dollars. He's the freaking anti-falcon, for crying out loud.

  8. Roflcopter419 on October 22nd, 2009 3:41 am

    I wonder if he got Mama Luigi too.

  9. Paulrus-Keaton? on October 22nd, 2009 3:43 am

    And viewers like you.

  10. Nick Soapdish on October 22nd, 2009 3:47 am

    HA HA HA, I am a horrible human being.

  11. Ozymil on October 22nd, 2009 3:50 am

    DO THE MARIO IS NOT A NOUN.

    ALSO, WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

    GOOD NIGHT.

    Putting a dead man in a Halol? Low Blow…

  14. adhysf on October 22nd, 2009 3:59 am

    It looks like Halolz submits anything they can get their hands on. This was just in bad taste.

  15. Badonk on October 22nd, 2009 4:01 am

    Cant let you do that!
    Don't swing your arms from side to side
    Go away everybody, cant let you do that!

    Hm…. ok let's see here. Yup I think you meet the criteria. Your posts in this submission should be enough. I'll send you some docs to sign in the mail and will come pick up end of days time in a couple of years.

    Admittedly these offensive posts are really great as a recruitment drive.

    Lou Albano layed on his deathbed with his friends and relatives beside him. In the sombre atmosphere that hung over the room like a Koopa Kid, none of Lou's companions could hold back the tears. Holding the hand of his beloved, he realises his time is drawing near. A smile slowly creeps across his weakened face, he wants to leave this younger generation with what they were fond of most- he's in no condition to wrestle, but he can still do the Mario. He begins to slowly swing his arms from side to side, and when he starts to struggle, his companions quickly come to aid him. In his last breaths, he realises what he has to do, quiet whisper emits from the mouth of this gentle giant, "Swing your arms… from side to side, come on… it's time to go…" Fearing the worst, his friends continue in unison, "Do the Mario!" Now something can be heard from Lou, quieter than a whisper, barely more than a breath, "Take one step…", a quick response, "And then again", and somehow, everyone is at ease. There's not a hint of sadness in the air, and the gathering of friends and relatives becomes a circle of joy, "Let's do the Mario, all together now!"

    But in spite of this, a sharp silence falls upon the room, only to be lifted by Lou's response with a comforting, if quiet, "You got it!… It's the Mario!" He isn't aware of it, but everyone else can see it, his eyes are clouding over, he is growing short of breath, but the Captain battles on. "Do the… Mario! Swing… your… arms… from side… to side…"

    Everyone can do nothing but listen to this great man's last words as they help him slowly, soothingly, swing his arms. "Come on…", his arms simply go limp, he has finally cought on that this is it. His final show. Captain Lou Albano's got to usher in a new generation. He gasps desperately to get his last words out, strangely appropriate to both him and his adoring audience, "It's… time… to go…"

    ;_;

  20. Nick Soapdish on October 22nd, 2009 4:15 am

    I know, it is. Captain Lou must be swinging his arms from side to side in his grave.

    you now realize you are ashamed for making fun of captain lou using the sinful ways of wolf.

    Guys… I have terrible news…
    It seems that Elvis has just died recently. *sobs*

    Who will you take next cruel fate? Michael Jackson?

  42. Dan on October 22nd, 2009 5:10 am

    But a 76 year old entertainer? There's quite a difference between mercenary work and comic book villainy.

    My new screen name!
    What do you think??

  50. Nick Soapdish on October 22nd, 2009 5:28 am

    True, we will need to acclimatise for our destination. Although the camper van is getting so full the body heat generated by everyone being in close proximity may be enough.

  51. bleeker on October 22nd, 2009 5:30 am

    Points for a Super Mario Bros. Super Show reference, but good god somebody kill Wolf and stop these things. The comma is unnecessary as well. Mario dance aside, still a FAIL.

  52. Nick Soapdish on October 22nd, 2009 5:31 am

    Great, thanks for making me feel bad with your awesomely beautiful post that I would plus more then 1 if I could. Jerk!

  53. Wisdombook on October 22nd, 2009 5:52 am

    and the number reply WHATNINETHOUSAND?!

  54. Wisdombook on October 22nd, 2009 5:56 am

    IF you guessed it right? You have the same picture, description, e-peen, and numbers at the end of your screen name. It would take someone pretty damn stupid to get it wrong. [/angrycommonsenseguyrant]

    Do we get jackets and stun batons?

  56. Stealthbladez on October 22nd, 2009 6:28 am

    I know what the end of the world would be. Someone just so happens to nuke the shit out of wherever the russians keep ther 2mil or so nukes, thet should be enough to end the world, for good.

    it's the exact same thing. hell, the Joker killed Heath Ledger, so why should this be any surprise?

    also, TECHNICALLY, all wolf is doing is stopping the mario dance, not Lou from living

  69. AquaLink on October 22nd, 2009 8:04 am

    i still think the 9/11 things were hilarious, horrible as they were

  70. AquaLink on October 22nd, 2009 8:06 am

    i disagree. i've sent in maybe 4 or so things and only 2 have been posted. they do ACTUALLY CHECK what comes through here on a regular basis. just go look at the april fool's submissions and you'll see.

  71. AquaLink on October 22nd, 2009 8:06 am

    yes. yes there is.

  72. AquaLink on October 22nd, 2009 8:15 am

    what's kinda scary is that there's a guy in my school whose name is Lou Albano. i doubt he's any relation, but maybe it's worth a look. if he weren't so damn CREEPY i'd be more likely to ask

    Wolf won't let him do that.

  81. Daifuku on October 22nd, 2009 12:02 pm

    Lou, you were indeed a legend in your own rights. Halolz salutes you!

  82. Nick Soapdish on October 22nd, 2009 12:39 pm

    Are people assuming that in your profession you are actually sending people there?
    Otherwise the only objectionable thing you have done is have a negative 69 epeen, which I didn't believe to be that serious an offence. Or is it….

  83. Daifuku on October 22nd, 2009 12:42 pm

    Nah, nothing involving my line of work. It started in a thread over in "Line Block is OP"
    Look under midget's comment.

  94. Daifuku on October 22nd, 2009 2:26 pm

    Well, America alone has enough nukes to destroy the world well over a hundred times. Most of Russia's warheads were hollow. Which proves that in the Cold War we were indeed fighting babies.

    Translation: Fuck grammar.

  96. Dan on October 22nd, 2009 2:58 pm

    The implication by the 1933-2009 is that he stopped Lou from dancing by killing him. I know this isn't the case since Lou Albano was until recently a living breathing person and Wolf O'Donnell is a fictional character. At the poster didn't use the pic with Wolf holding a gun.

  97. Badonk on October 22nd, 2009 3:00 pm

    we need more then 1 plus one at our disposal for comments like this one.

  111. Roflcopter419 on October 22nd, 2009 7:50 pm

    Just a wolfite?

    Good sir, I am wolf's high priest, and you will refer to me as such.

  112. Roflcopter419 on October 22nd, 2009 7:52 pm

    Now that would imply murder. The 1933-2009 just shows that he is dead.

  113. Roflcopter419 on October 22nd, 2009 7:53 pm

    Neither of those are Shawn's.

  114. Roflcopter419 on October 22nd, 2009 7:54 pm

  123. AquaLink on October 22nd, 2009 9:45 pm

    exactly. the dates just show his lifespan, not that wolf killed him

  131. Dan on October 23rd, 2009 12:43 am

    So then, how is Wolf not letting him dance? The implication is that wolf is responsible for the condition where he can't do the Mario, and that condition is that he is dead.

  132. Exploderizer on October 23rd, 2009 1:09 am

    Oh, ja, the Wolf joke…

    At my old school, I had one classmate whose name was James Brown, and I knew him around the time that the singer James Brown died. I mocked him for a few weeks saying "Ha ha, you're dead."

    Actually, I think it shows that Wolf is acknowledging his death and mocking him, not being responsible for it.
