![]() ![]() | So during my busy day at work I discovered that Grimace had an uncle. O'Grimacey is the green Irish uncle of Grimace. He dressed like leprechaun and visited around the time the Shamrock Shake made its appearance. And as if that wasn't enough, I also learned that Grimace was originally evil. He was sort of like the Hamburgler (robble robble) but he went after milkshakes instead. Luckily for Kelis, he became a good guy. |
Thanks to my buddy Jason I have a Wii. But I've been looking for one for my parents for months. Yeah, there are plenty available on eBay, but I figured with a little effort I could find one for the retail price.
A few months back I heard about a big shipment of Wii's at Best Buy on a Sunday. So I decided to get there about an hour before the store opened. I certainly underestimated the demand because people had been lined up since 8am to get vouchers and none were available by the time I got there.
Lesson learned.
So this past Sunday I got to Best Buy at 6am and stood in the freezing cold with snow blowing in my face with about 100 other Wii seekers. The store had 57 available. I was number 48 in line.
My parents better appreciate the sacrifice. Knowing my mom, she'll probably tell me some story about how much trouble she went through to get me a Millenium Falcon 25 years ago. But then I can just remind her how much it would be worth today if she hadn't sold it at a garage sale.
