    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

The Real Mario Mushroom

Haven’t had any spray painted Mario mushroom sightings lately, but I did run into a real one while geocaching in the woods. Though somehow I don’t think eating this one would make me gigantic and able to shatter bricks with my head…

    Well, you didn’t try…maybe you would grow twice your size and be able to break bricks that spit out coins. :)

    We just looked at those in biology, and they kill you.

  3. Scoops says:

    Someone told me they tried one kinda like that in amsterdam and their trip did make them feel like they were growing.

    This little baby has created the whole eastern European shamanism. High temperatures change all the toxin into a potent hallucinogen. It’s friggin’ tasty. :D

    I’m sure I saw tons of those in the original Willy Wonka – the white spots are marshmellow. Or at least that’s what I always imagined.

    • krudlerNo Gravatar says:

      Wait, does this mean Willy Wonka was tripping balls on shrooms all day? And feeding them to kids? Oh, no – this can’t be true!

  6. alexNo Gravatar says:

    that’s an amanita, and it is not, in fact, guaranteed that it will kill you. either it’s amanita muscaria, which is the only non-deadly mushroom in the amanita family, and you will trip balls (hallucinate). or, it could be one of the other amanitas. only a spore print will tell for sure.
