How I got my Wii
I was all ready to wait in line for Wii. I had set my alarm clock and was going to be up at 11PM to wait in line (I slept all day). The problem is... I never woke up. So, I got up at 6AM. I was so sure I wouldn't be getting a Wii, but I didn't give up.
I went to Walmart. And there were about 200 people waiting there. I knew I wouldn't be getting one there so, I moved on. I found myself at a Zellers several minutes later. To my surprise there wasn't a single person there! It may have been Zellers bad reputation, or just the fact that people didn't know it was selling. Either way, it was my lucky day. I stood in line for about 40min. when someone else arrived. We talked about games, why the PS3 sucks, etc. So, over the hours until 9AM -opening hour-. About 15 people arrived. Most of them over 50, all looking for Christmas gifts. In fact the only two there who wanted to play the Wii were me and my new found friend. We thought it was wrong. they were going to keep the Wii in the house. Sealed. Un-played. for over a month. We'll... we decided to do something about it. We became the most annoying things on the earth. We sung. And danced. and all around were very rude.It worked! Many in the back of the line left. But... of course some were very stubborn.
At this point Zellers staff stepped in. In an attempt to stop any... violence... they made TWO 'tickets'. That's right. Only two... And of course. Given to the first two in line. Justice. The rightful people were going to get the Wii's. But that would be to easy wouldn't it? The 50 year old women in front of me was making a fuss. She didn't think it was fair there weren't enough for everyone. So she came to both me and my friend and said she'd give me $50 for it. I could only say one thing to that... "I've got the golden ticket!" I ran around saying. She wasn't amused... She was ranting on about "I'm your elder." and "You disrespectful little...", Anyway, everyone else left. I went in to buy my Wii, and heard her in the background yelling at the manager.
In the end I bought a Wii, one Wii-mote, one Nun chuck and three games.
