If Wario is the evil one, then it stands to reason that Wally/Waldo is evil and Maldo/Mally is good.

Pretty sure they just flipped the M to make Wario. The pun came later when they made Waluigi. Wal(/r)ui means bad in Japanese.

He has stated before, and I'm sure several times, that he is like a smart person. Not valley girl 'like' but that he and smart people have a lot in common 'like'. He's also smart related because at one point when he was explaining why hes 'like a smart person' he said his dad graduated from MIT or something, and we all know that college degrees are passed down as an inheritance.

Actually, degrees are passed down genetically. As far as he knows, at least.

The upside of that is that you can get high school graduate cum for a fraction of the price, and it tastes the same.

I'm sorry to dredge this back up, but the phrase "100% Australian Meat" is very concerning. Maybe it's because I'm just so used to everything being sold in America as food has to specify somewhere what it actually is, but something that is simply labeled as "meat" is just vague enough to bother me. Is this horse as Chunks indicated? Or is it ground up Aussies as the box seems to state?

Dead horse = tomato sauce
And it's not horses, its just pork/beef sausage meet in a pastry wrap. The meat pies however.....there were reports of camel meat found in those.

When I was seven we got a puppy for Christmas. It was a golden retriever/Samoyed cross, so my sister rightly wanted to name him Falco after the white dragon from The Never Ending Story. It was a perfect name. I won the coin toss to name the puppy though. I named him Waldo, after the books I had been into for a few months.

I thought I was having some weird fever dream when I saw this on tv that one time as a kid. The only thing I remember about it was a short clip where the bad Waldo parachuted into a pit with crocodiles or something, that dude was pretty boned

Terrible name for a dog just because it might go missing and then you'd have to put up posters that wouldn't be taken seriously.
