Some seriously geeky cyclists painted power-up symbols from Mario Kart onto some of Portland, Oregon’s bike lanes.
The video is hilarious: watch the cyclists do their best to avoid the banana peels. Better still: the newscaster rattling off what each symbol means.
Unfortunately, the bananas, star and speed arrows dont actually confer the same powers they do in the game, but we did smirk to see that all of the bikers do faithfully avoid the banana peel, and hit the rest of the symbols head on.
Jordan Matthew Yerman started writing during his third year of high school, where his teacher discouraged his use of the eff-word as "crude, unnecessary and uncouth".
While attending UC San Diego for his degree in Political Science, Jordan picked up acting; he would later attend the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, living in the UK for four years before relocating to New York City. To get by, he has worked as a proofreader, model, technical consultant, HR trainer, sign-placer, sales director, crate stacker, bartender, photographer, real estate broker, and as an exhibit at the Bronx Museum.
As an actor, Jordan has performed in the USA, England, Scotland, Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands, from stage to indie screen to voiceover, including London's West End.
Jordan has been around the world 2 3/4 times. He currently lives in Vancouver and works in New Media; capital N, capital M.
