Donkey Kong Country Returns for Nintendo Wii

Synopsis

The smell still lingers in the air, the delicious scent calling to you, teasing you. Your mouth waters but your heart drops. Your banana stash, the one you have conquered countless jungle foes and jumped deadly chasms in a mine cart to assemble, is missing. Controlled by a group of mischievous Tikis, the jungle creatures have betrayed you and raided your Banana Hoard. Now you'll have to jump, slap, run and fight to get back your bananas — but this time you'll have some major help. Equipped with his trusty backpack full of Peanut PopGuns and a Barrel Jet, Diddy Kong is ready to take on the Tikis with Donkey Kong, and this time, he's not leaving your side.

For the first time ever in the Donkey Kong franchise, you and a friend will be able to play together at the same time in Donkey Kong Country Returns. You'll have even more abilities and special moves when you get a friend to navigate Donkey Kong's trusty sidekick, Diddy Kong. Navigate through lush jungles, tropical beaches and abandoned mines with the Wii Nunchuk controller's control stick, and express Donkey's outrage and brute force by having him slap the ground when you shake the Wii Remote. With mine carts, barrel cannons and side-scrolling action, this Donkey Kong adventure has all the features you loved in the original version paired with new challenges and enhanced graphics, including levels created with fully rendered 3D environments.

Bike For Sale

This bike was a gift from my ex. It's strong and reliable, unlike him. The brakes work great and the seat offers plenty of support, also unlike the ex. It may be an older model, but at least it's mature enough to handle bumps in the road without accusing you of riding other bikes. Chain may need to be oiled. Call 555-1234 if interested.

Yuengling Bottle Cap Earrings

Prohibition wasn't enough to stop Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, from purveying delicious intoxicants throughout the dark ages of alcohol in America. Under the guise of an ice cream shop, the brewery distributed frothy brews to thirsty patrons. Much like the brewery, these Yuengling bottle caps lead a double life as one-of-a-kind earrings.

The earrings are handcrafted in an arduous process of sacrifice and determination. First, the contents of a Yuengling bottle are imbibed by artisan Alaina Clarke to free up her media of choice — the bottle cap. The bottle is then recycled and the cap is carefully hammered, cut and forged into a dazzling earring that's as bold as the beer company it represents. The process is then repeated to create a matching set. Finally, the artist takes a victory nap and the earrings are ready for sale.

Yuengling Bottle Cap Earrings — so fun and bubbly, it's like beer for your ears.
