The traditional bash took place last night from 8 PM to midnight outside the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Center. Like any decent Bar Mitzvah, it was geared toward entertaining 13-year-old kids. Nintendo provided outdoor Wii stations, LCD TVs and playable Wiis strapped to peoples' backs; there were also a Velcro wall, a bungee run, a DJ and dancers, and the opportunity to get your picture taken with the little "boychick" himself, Mario. (I prefer to call him by his Hebrew name, Mordecai).

In case you've never been to a Bar Mitzvah before, but think you might be attending one in disguise, I've provided a checklist below:

• Dancing Grandmas
• Forcing the Bar Mitzvah boy to take pictures with everyone
• DJ and really hot dancers who are required to flirt with dads
• Lots of entertainment to distract the kids, so the dads can flirt with the dancers
• A degenerate uncle who sneaks Bar Mitzvah boy and his friends drinks from the bar, until Bar Mitzvah boy passes out and upchucks in front of the electric-slide dancers (we didn't see one of these guys last night; they're optional but highly recommended).

As with most Bar Mitzvahs, I had had enough after an hour. And as usual, the kids were able to go all night. Be sure to check out the pictures below, and Super Mordecai--you're a man now! Go treat yourself to a Hanukkah gift and scoop up a copy of Super Mario Galaxy for $49.99 (198.360 Shekels).

Bungee run!!! (I probably have whiplash now.)

Some dude showed up wearing a Nintendo Power Glove from 1989....How does he go to the bathroom with this thing?
