Today in Joystiq: January 14, 2008
Normally we'd shy away from readers sending in glamor shots, but reader Tanya is actually showing off the Nintendo scarf that she reportedly made by hand. The full thing measures 94.5 inches (approximately 7.8 feet) long and either 4.5 or 6 inches wide, depending on if you measure the mushroom or star. Check out the highlights for today:

LOL! XD
i_hate_mtv @ Jan 15th 2008 4:37AM
Uh oh!
*cue fapping*
Noshino @ Jan 15th 2008 12:07AM
is someone really focusing on the scarf?
well, besides Fernando that is
hvnlysoldr @ Jan 15th 2008 12:40AM
Jealous?
i_hate_mtv @ Jan 15th 2008 4:40AM
I have to admit, that's a mighty impressive scarf. I wouldn't mind having one of those.
Feep @ Jan 15th 2008 12:08AM
This was a mistake, Joystiq.
A huge mistake.
Max Headroom @ Jan 15th 2008 9:58AM
Joystiq needs more Tanya.
UltimateQ @ Jan 15th 2008 12:10AM
I'd hit it.
twice.
fwacce @ Jan 15th 2008 12:11AM
Wrong measurements.
Einhanderkiller @ Jan 15th 2008 12:13AM
Scarf is a funny word. Scarf. Scarf scarf scarf scarf. Scarfity-scarf-scarf. Okay, I'll stop now.
thethirdmoose @ Jan 15th 2008 12:14AM
See xkcd
Obie @ Jan 15th 2008 12:15AM
That is a lot of hard work, nice job Tanya!
Trickob @ Jan 15th 2008 12:24AM
nobody likes a suck-up...
;)
Obie @ Jan 15th 2008 12:34AM
Maybe but I doubt all those boners posting "I'd hit it" fare better, that is why you never see females posting comments...and I don't blame them.
Trickob @ Jan 15th 2008 12:52AM
at any rate, it really IS a sweet scarf. if i had $150 burning a hole in my pocket, i would totally purchase that scarf. if she cut the scarf and the price in half, i would consider it...
UltimateQ @ Jan 15th 2008 1:32AM
Don't hate it Obie. you'd hit it too. Unless your gay. (Wierdo).
Trickob @ Jan 15th 2008 1:50AM
you mean, you're* gay
UltimateQ @ Jan 15th 2008 2:16AM
Yay grammar police. You go gurl, correct my misspellings!
Beatboxtaun @ Jan 15th 2008 10:03AM
Thank you!
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Jan 15th 2008 12:15AM
helllloooooo nurse!
...Jan... @ Jan 15th 2008 12:26AM
- I'm trying to focus. I know I should be awed by work done on the scarf and that I shouldn't treat women as...oh whatever, damn she's hot!
Tuatara @ Jan 15th 2008 12:29AM
Do want!
Mike @ Jan 15th 2008 12:34AM
I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
Jess Q. @ Jan 15th 2008 12:51AM
I am a girl, proving that girls do post comments on Joystiq. And I'm here to say that your comment, sir, is pretty damn funny. But then I'm a weird girl. :D
Shmil @ Jan 15th 2008 1:19AM
i gotta say you made me spit out a mouth full of beer reading that comment
kudos to you sire
i_hate_mtv @ Jan 15th 2008 4:41AM
LOLLERSKATES!
Martin @ Jan 15th 2008 10:08AM
That's the funniest thing I've read in a LONG time! This is the type of thing Bash.org champions are made of.
Avarice @ Jan 15th 2008 12:44AM
Yes, my tanuki turned into a statue upon seeing this. Curse you all for making me say this!
drun @ Jan 15th 2008 12:50AM
I see no scarf until Joystiq told me...
rockeranimefreak @ Jan 15th 2008 12:52AM

Tanya Valdez @ Jan 15th 2008 10:37AM

Thanks!
Tanya
Curmeo @ Jan 15th 2008 12:52AM

Tiger of PTS @ Jan 15th 2008 1:06AM
You really shouldn't squint your eyes if you've got that big of a forehead, lol.
telee @ Jan 15th 2008 1:07AM
I'd glamour shot her!
micklol @ Jan 15th 2008 1:35AM
wo
a female reader...do not compute...
DCBlack @ Jan 15th 2008 1:36AM
And the shirt to boot. I imagine that is a slice of heaven right there. That shot does look kinda angelic.
Dwain @ Jan 15th 2008 1:46AM
I enjoy posts with pictures of actual females just for the comments, and this one doesn't disappoint. Bravo!
Jon @ Jan 15th 2008 2:00AM
I concur with above
ThornedVenom @ Jan 15th 2008 2:02AM
I really hate myself for being a guy on the internet.
My brain tries to be rational, but my inner self can't stop smiling at those really rude comments about her, just because she's a girl.
mezzanine @ Jan 15th 2008 2:04AM
GTFO the internet, nerd. And take your nerd scarf with you.
Noshino @ Jan 15th 2008 2:19AM
actually, everyone seems to agree, she stays!
Chris @ Jan 15th 2008 3:05AM
We salute you, Tanya. Shaaaaaawing.
Psaakyrn @ Jan 15th 2008 3:23AM
Still, the first thing I noticed was the shirt. (Need more tanooki suits) (not RL tanooki suits though.) (wait, did Nintendo start that trend? Curses!)
Kamizar @ Jan 15th 2008 3:24AM
Eh, might as well throw my sex related Mario one liners in as well...
"I'd like to get my one-up mushroom inside of her"...
"I'd like to play with her power flower"...
"I'd like to hit her box till I get all the necessary coins"...
"I'd like to ride her like a yoshi(and then drop her when I can't make the jump[to a serious relationship])"...
is @ Jan 15th 2008 4:08AM
Can we make this a regular feature?
Better yet, can we have a feature called 'Just the scarf'?
How about 'Spot the scarf?'

Psaakyrn @ Jan 15th 2008 4:13AM
Sure. We'd just have a normal clothes gallery.
(female being not included)
mattclarkie @ Jan 15th 2008 5:25AM
It is always good to know that a girl is good with her hands.
Oh no he di'nt.
On another note.
It isn't right to objectify women, it is a scientific fact that they are atleast as smart as a donkey, and you would proclaim on the internets that you would like to bone your donkey would you?
LOL.
