Well, you had to say goodbye to childhood at some point; today's as good a day as any. This resourcefull lil' drug user crafted one hell of a bong in the style of Mario (I'm thinking Super Mario World more than anything else.) As much as I really hate people who make smoking pot a lifestyle more than an activity, I hold nothing but reverence for the person who was able to put this bad boy together.

It's got the green tubes (which I'm sure have a name beyond "green tubes"), Mario (looking a lot more like Luigi), the mushroom guys (goombas? koopas? mushroom guys?), and a one of the plants that always ate my ass when I was a dumb nine year-old. I understand all those cool elements. 

What I don't understand is the functionality of the bong. Is the bowl inverted? Why is there a spit-release valve? Is it also a trumpet, or is that some sort of newfangled carb? I can't imagine that pot-smoking technology is moving THAT rapidly these days. Anyway, I like the bong, but would maybe feel weird about giving it to my mom, so is there any chance I can get it as a flower vase or something? 

Please?
