# In what kind of way?
Is it ace like people keep insisting the IT crowd is? Because the only good part of the IT crowd is Morris and his sexy head.

I went to a wedding at the weekend with a super mario bros theme.
(I helped save b3ta! Mockingbird Practitioner of SCIENCE, Mon 1 Sep 2008, 9:54, archived)

was that actually (intentionally) the theme or did it just put you in mind of super mario?

# not the FULL theme, I mean, bride and groom not in costume.
but the place settings were little folded cubes printed like [?] blocks with gold (chocolate) coins inside, and the flower arrangements had fimo pirhana flowers worked into them, and the cake was super marioish.

I'm not sure... you could post it, let people see it and then edit it away so that there is no lasting record - I think that would get the approval of the ethics committee (committee is a word made by committee - 'well I think we should double ALL the letters," "I disagree," "let's water down our ideas by combining them!")
