that was nice
Frank just went and guaranteed that no matter what I get him for Christmas, he won’t even notice.
He bought himself a Dubya-2 bundle. Eleven freakin’ days before Christmas. Never mind that every time I walk into a store that could possibly carry a Wii, I check for them so I can get him one for Christmas. And I’m always looking online. And he told me not to bother looking anymore. And he told me it’s best to wait until after Christmas.
And women are the mixed signals sex. Yuh-huh.
All along he’s been saying not to buy a bundle because you get stuck with games you don’t want. So I didn’t get him a bundle. And so off he went and bought a bundle.
Anyway, I guess there’s no point in me getting him a 7200rpm hard drive for his laptop (he hates his laptop, because it’s so super-slow, and I wanted to make it run super-fast for him), because he won’t notice it. He’ll be playing with his Wii. That was to be my thoughtful gift (the hard drive, because we were going to wait until after Christmas for the Dubya-2). He won’t care. He’ll be too busy throwing that stupid Wiimote at the TV. UPDATE: Ummm… If I’d known that $600 was in the budget, I would have bought him a whole new laptop instead of just the hard drive, but I thought, “No, I can’t buy him a whole laptop. But I can buy him a hard drive.”
I don’t guess I’ll send back the stuff I’ve already ordered, but I guess I can stop shopping for him now, because he’s not even going to care. He’s just ruined Christmas by making sure that I can’t get him something he’ll care about more than what he’s already in love with: his stupid Dubya-2.
By the way, he told me yesterday that they are supposed to have Dubya-2s in stores this Sunday, and I was even planning to talk him into camping out at Best Buy to see if we could get one that I could get him one for Christmas.
Instead he paid twice the price for the Dumb-ya-2 in a bundle with some games he didn’t even want. Sure he got Zelda, but he also had to take Madden Football (won’t play it) and probably some dumb game where you drive your own rubber ducky through the water to the other side of a canal and see who gets there fastest while collecting dead frogs along the way for bonus points.
I said, “Well you at least better have gotten an extra Wiimote and nunchuck thingy in your bundle.”
Nope. He fell for the scam that you’re only supposed to fall for if you’re the rich parent of a spoiled child, and it’s Christmas Eve and all the Elmos are gone.
Bad Frank. Very Bad Frank.
Listen, Sarah. If you need any gift ideas for those that have been very naughty, let me know. I’ve got a page or two of ideas.
I’m just sayin’…….
December 14th, 2006 at 9:09 pmI’m confused as to why you’re cross with Frank. Must be a gender thing.
PS I got my CoD today! “Packaged by the lovely SarahK!â€
December 14th, 2006 at 9:31 pmDid you punish Frank by taking down IMAO?
December 14th, 2006 at 10:29 pmIn related news: men do dumb things (more than usual) in groups of 2 or more, nothing is ever “on our minds”, and we don’t ever “know what we did”.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:00 pmAnd women are the mixed signals sex. Yuh-huh.
They certainly are. “I really don’t want anything for my birthday” is a classic. If you’re dumb enough (like me!) to fall for that the next month is not fun.
And if Frank is looking for a home for the Madden game - my son would be happy to give it one…
December 15th, 2006 at 9:33 amIn my defense, I’m legally retarded.
And I might like the Madden game. It got good reviews. And you throw the football by making a football throwing motion!

Tell Frank to be careful. lol
Also, just a small side note. You’re a woman. I’m sure you can find a way to grab Frank’s attention. Something guys would want even more than a Wii. :)
Anyway, Merry Christmas from Texas.
December 15th, 2006 at 11:18 amLOL!!
December 15th, 2006 at 12:34 pmFrank, you are so cute!! You and Sean could save the world by waving your arms at a television!!
BTW,if people know the return policy for unopened games without receipt to different stores, that would be helpful.

December 15th, 2006 at 1:22 pmHelp Frank Not Get Murdered by SarahK…
SarahK had been trying to locate a Wii to buy me as a Christmas present and we were avoiding those……
December 15th, 2006 at 1:29 pmI say you return all his Christmas presents and go treat yourself to a day at a spa. He already bought his Christmas present.
Frank, that was really really really dumb. The only way you’re going to be able to redeem yourself is to sell the darn thing as soon as you get it. Preferably for a profit.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:43 pmNintendo has recalled the Dubya2 controllers because of the problem with breaking wrist straps. You can get info on ordering a replacement here:
