Are you worried that none of your friends will show up at your wedding because they’re all nerds that would rather stay home and play video games? No worries. Just do what Brooklyn, NY couple Elizabeth Hoagland and Christopher Burris did and make your invitations out of old NES cartridges:

Nintendo Wedding Invitation

Here’s a few classic NES game songs I’d love to see on this couple’s dance list:

• Air Man Theme from Mega Man 2 (or any song from Mega Man 2 for that matter)
• Double Dragon
• The Legend of Zelda
• Nintendo World Cup Soccer
• Super Mario Brothers 2
• A Boy and His Blob

Sadly my favorite NES game of all-time, RBI Baseball, doesn’t feature a soundtrack worth dancing to.

It’s true. I can barely contain my excitement boredom over Chelsea Clinton’s upcoming nuptials. Here are five things that I find much more interesting than Chelsea’s surprise Vera Wang Trip or who’s on (or not on) the guest list:

The Politics of Mali

The Republic of Mali is a small African nation that borders Nigeria, Algeria and The Ivory Coast. Mali is divided into eight regions with each region having its own governor. The country has become pro-west in the years since they instituted a democratic system in 2002. This transition followed many years of political upheaval that had long threatened the stability of the country (on a side-note – Mali is landlocked and I ALWAYS find landlocked countries extremely interesting).

My Neighbors’ Work Schedule

I’ve been spying on my neighbors for about six months. I don’t suspect them of anything strange, I’m just bored. They both leave every morning at 7:15am. She returns for lunch around noon everyday except Thursday. He only comes home for lunch on Mondays.  They both arrive back home around 5:45pm except on Tuesdays when he gets home at 7:00pm. WHERE IS HE UNTIL 7 ON TUESDAYS?

The Whereabouts of my Peter Venkman Action Figure

From what I can recollect, I lost my Peter Venkman Ghostbusters toy around the time of my 9th birthday. I search for it every time I’m back at my parents’ house, but it’s nowhere to be found! I have a theory that my friend Jim Dibble stole it, but I can’t prove it. It’s depressing because I know exactly where my Egon, Ray, Winston and Stay-Puft figures are, but the set is not complete without Peter.

Pocket Lint

Where does it come from? And why?

David Morris, World Champion Whistler

David Morris is the world’s top whistler. He competes in whistling competitions around the world and has recorded three full length albums chock full of nothing but whistles. Don’t believe me? Take a listen here.

For our wedding, my wife and I went the route of party trolley and Cadillac Escalade limo for transportation. That doesn’t mean I didn’t dream about other, more elaborate options. And I’m not talking about a Bentley or Rolls Royce.

What other famous cars from TV and movies would make funny wedding day transportation? Tell us in the comments below.

There are so many overplayed wedding songs out there. It’s always nice to hear a fresh first dance song that hasn’t been driven into the ground. We think this new one by Train has a chance to become very popular.

The Safeco Field Bullpen will host its first wedding today.

So far this season, the Seattle Mariners’ bullpen has been known for bad pitching. Today, it will take center stage for a different reason – Mariners’ bullpen catcher Jason Phillips will marry his fiance in the Safeco Field bullpen.

Here’s an idea of just how good baseball players have it: Phillips is the Mariners’ bullpen catcher. He is not on the team. He simply warms up the relief pitchers before they come into the game. For his services, he is paid an $80,000 annual salary. During a game against Oakland A’s back in 2009, his soon-to-be-bride, Molly Ray, was sitting in the stands near the bullpen. Phillips signed a baseball, put his phone number on it and tossed it to her. Twelve months later, they’re getting married.
