My nephew got married a couple of weeks ago. I went to the store he was registered at and printed out the list. On it was "Wii Remote". I laughed and thought, "I didn't even know he had a Wii." Then looking down further, I saw the Wii was also on the list. I got him a lamp.

 Were they used?  If so I'd be pissed too...  so far most of the junk we've gotten has all been cooking related as well.  I guess it's a good thing that I do the cooking....?

They didn't have one at the store :-p  Guess I could've gotten him a remote, but that wouldn't have done much good.

They weren't used, but the box looked well traveled - it was obvious it was a gift from someone. And my wife told me she remembers when someone gave the woman the gift. We ended up tossing them.

I tell you - I know why folks give housewares and crap for gifts - because most bachelors don't even own a pot! I had two and a frying pan my mom gave me. And the pots were from WalGreen in Orlando ... LOL.

Now, we have more pots and pans and dishes than Rachel Ray.

Still, getting a video game system such as a Wii would make a lot of sense these days, because it's an interactive console. Kinda like how couples in the '70s got Twister or those romantic dice ... hmmmm 

the worst present I got was my mother and father in law coming to stay with us for 2 weeks, complaining non stop about the wedding the wife and I planned on a budget and forcing me to do it all again in their little home town so they could organise it and proceed to tell everyone how "crap" the wedding we planned was through the whole thing.

Shows how the Wii has forgotten the hardcore gamer... For shame. :(

 So hardcore gamers aren't allowed to marry?

*Takes a look at himself in uncertainty* 

I already had my Wii before I got married.
