Tuft? TUFT!?
First of all, I don't think any of us realized that there was a Little Ivy League. Did any of you know this?
It's rather incredible, but apparently it's possible true. Anyways, Tufts is on there, and it's neither
little nor Ivy. This is a Tuft:
Actually, that could be several Tufts (it looks like at least two), but, regardless, it looks more like grass than Ivy to me.
Secondly, and relatedly, I don't think most of us even KNEW that there was a Smurfs Video Game let alone that it would be so horrifying. Please visit this site for an AMAZING recount of the experience. (As an interesting side note, make sure to be on the look out for the tuft which appears partway down).
Here's an excerpt:
Smurf Rescue takes place in the Land of the Smurfs. Or, Land of the Smurf, anyway, as there seems to be only one in this game, with the exception of the sassy Smurfette, who has been captured by the awful Gargamel and now languishes in his dark castle. Are you Smurfy enough to save her?

Well, it's not going to be easy. The designers of this hot new game had the foresight to make it challenging by denying the Smurf any sort of offensive attack... go ahead, hit those two buttons as much as you like. They do nothing. It's a gutsy move, sure... but those ColecoVision wizards are thinking outside the box. The only thing they allow your Smurf to do is jump. I just hope, for Smurfette's sake, that it's enough.

AMAZING!!
I am a little ashamed by how much I enjoyed this. You should send the guy who posted about Smurf rescue a link to this:
Apparently there was a UNICEF Smurf anti-war commercial where the smurf village is shown all peaceful and happy and then it is bombed by enemy forces and all the little mushroom homes are in flames and dead smurfs litter the ground including the only female and beside her body is a crying smurf baby.

Awesome!
Yes. The Smurfs being blown to bits has amazed me ever since I first saw the ad a while back.
It's so rad. And yes, I said "rad," which should give you an idea of just how "rad" it is that I would be take the risk of using the unrad word "rad."
Kathy = Great
