I decided yesterday to be very methodical about it and during lunch I made a list of everywhere in Athens that might sell one.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI thought that if I got in the habit of calling them every day, I would maybe find one eventually. So, I decided I would call GameStop (first on my list, that place by Target) and see if they had any.<\/p>\n<p>Chip: I don&#8217;t suppose you have any Wiis in stock.<br \/>\nGame Stop Guy: Actually, we do.<br \/>\nC: Really.<br \/>\nGSG: Yeah.<br \/>\nC: Can you hold one.<br \/>\nGSG: No, first come, first serve.<br \/>\nC: I&#8217;ll be there in a minute!<\/p>\n<p>Since (luckily) it was still during lunch, I told Scrappy and we both went to the Game Stop so we could buy two of them, if they had them. Both Missy and my Mom wanted them also so I thought I would try.<\/p>\n<p>We got there and Scrappy went inside to wait in line while I parked and then went in.<\/p>\n<p>When we got the first of the line, this happened:<\/p>\n<p>Scrappy: I heard you had Wiis in stock.<br \/>\nGSG: (puts one on counter)<br \/>\nS: (gestures to me) We would both like one.<br \/>\nGSG: Only one per customer.<br \/>\nS: But we are two customers.<br \/>\nGSG: (accusing) Same household?<br \/>\nS: Different households. We just rode together. (but, we were buying it together. He didn&#8217;t need to know that. Exact words, Greg Brady. I&#8217;m good at the exact words game.)<br \/>\nGSG: (suspicious) OK then. (looks at the college kid behind me) Did you want one also?<br \/>\nCollege Kid: Yeah!<br \/>\nGSG: We&#8217;re gonna be sold out by time we get to you.<br \/>\nCK: You&#8217;re kidding. Man!  (leaves store, broken)<\/p>\n<p>So, I feel guilty about the college kid. But, you know, not really because we were in line a while before he came in the store.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chipw\/366254382\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/151\/366254382_520b18ff31_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Wii-mote at the Wal-Mart\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After work, I actually used the rest of my list and called 7 or 8 places to find that East Side Wal-Mart was putting a box of nunchucks and remotes on the shelf RIGHT THEN, so, the gym was skipped and controllers were bought so we are ready to play!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, after Ron brought over his Wii a few weeks ago, it was pretty much decided that everyone there was going to purchase a Wii the first chance we got.
