Crap, were you without power and stuff, man? How long was it down?

5 days, power came back on Tuesday, and water came on Christmas Eve.. the weekend before Christmas it was like 5 below and on Monday they shut off the water, nothing like closing the gate after the horses leave

anyway, they went to turn the water back on Christmas Eve and the pipe to the shower, above my kitchen mind you, burst... by the time he got the water shut off, I had a foot of water on the kitchen floor and the ceiling was caving in... The good news is that he got the pipe fixed, and turned the water back on. My ceiling will be fixed shortly and all ends well.

Crikey bro, that sux all in one fatal swoop.

At least it's getting fixed.

My sister wanted us to get her and her boys a Wii...............As freakin if. Like I'm gonna shell out the geetahs for that and not have one of my own......Not a chance.

I shelled out $342 for the game console, a second controller and another game... kids love it, bowling is actually really fun.

$342 is about right- you need to bargain hunt a bit to find a better deal, it's possible, but if you find it lower you'll need luck to be there before the shipment runs out.

(I went through the same thing with the original Nintendo back in 1987- running from store to store, and getting there just as the shipment would run dry)

Reminds me of that Ahnooold movie where his kid wants that superhero figure and Sinbad the comedian is the postman who gives him grief all the way thru the movie.

the console itself was $249, which is pretty standard... its the extra stuff that costs... They will probably get Guitar Hero for thier birthdays..

Zed Jr. got Guitar Hero Rocks the 80's for Christmas and I was pogoing around the living room to "We Got the Beat" and "Turning Japanese"...

Any "Missing Persons" like Destination Unknown on there? That would make me hop around a bit. On one leg, of course.

We both are busy trying to unlock the whole game because the cheat code to unlock everything does not work- I will let you know.

Wii is a good time, if your son is younger I am sure you will have no trouble finding an abundance of games. Every now and then one grabs my eye in turn, Mario Kart for it is pretty fun also.
