I hate Zelda
So, I’m wearin' a wrist band right at this very moment that entitles me t' a Wii.
I lined up this mornin' at 5:20 on Broadway at th' Toys ‘R’ Us (ye’ll just have t' imagine th' ‘R’ be backwards). I be th' 11th in line; th' first person had started th' line at 8 p.m. th' prrrevious day.
I have t' say, that if these people who be in line wi' me be me “tribe” then we be goin' t' get eaten by wolves if we don’t starve t' death first. Ye’ve heard o' Motley Crew, right? I like th' 7th lubber: Th' ornery cuss’d lined up fer (and bought) a Wii on th' first day it went on sale, and had “so much fun” that Th' ornery cuss “thought Th' ornery cuss’d try fer another one.”
Um, yeah.
Anyway, I have t' make fun o' them because I’m sure somewhere someone be makin' fun o' me fer gettin' up about 7 hours afore than I normally do on a Saturday, and fer bein' such an inveterate geek. I have t' say, I be amazed at how completely out o' me competance league I be in that line. I’m a huge PC tech lubber, but they be tossin' game title nicknames and console mods and all these historical gamer facts aroun' and I be really barely able t' follow th' conversation.
Bein' up fer sunrise be always a novel experience fer me. Aft gettin' th' armband, I took advantage o' consciousness and went t' Granville Island and be th' first customer at th' bakery there. Th' smell o' fresh bread be delightful.
I’m returnin' t' th' store, armband and all, at 9:30 a.m. t' actually purchase th' Wii. Morrrr updates as what What News happens, this be Travis Smith, reportin' fer Unvarnished.com.
