Working nightshift turned out to have its advantages as on a December 5, 2006 afternoon while paying Bill & his similarly-named friends I went to puppy-dog-paw-and-whimper at the glass case containing all the Wii-age. Lo and behold there was a notice saying Wiis would be in stock the next morning starting 8AM. "Ooooohhh YEEEAAAHH!" I thought in Macho Man Randy Savage mentality knowing that I got off at 6AM right in time to arrive at the store in plenty of time. Even getting there a little after 6:30AM I already found myself in a line that left me with a ticket called #12. Only 30 would be in stock so maybe it's fortunate that I wasn't #31. An unexpected bump up to #11 as the guy in front of me's friend let him know by phone that the Wii was obtained I eventually get my long awaited system looking back at the far over 30-long line and feeling for the Johnny-Come-Latelies. Luckily I was a Johnny-Come-Early for once. |
