I decided that lines are for suckers, and standing in lines is for suckers with big coats and hoods. Granted this was after 3 Sundays in a row where I stood outside a Target or Best Buy to get one, but failed for one reason or another. But my point still stands. Suckers.
I decided to set up an overly elaborate and unnecessarily complicated system on the Internets wherein I would be alerted any time an Interweb retailer updated their Wii stocks, so I could be one of the people to buy it. One of the problems is that there's a lot of nerds on the Intertubes who had the same idea as me, so stocks of the Wii were snatched up faster than a kid near the Neverland ranch.
Eventually I beat those nerds at their own game, and bought one through Circuit City. It was great; I got an extra Wiimote and Nunchuck in order to break two televisions with it. And shipping was free through FedEx. Sweet, thought I.
Well, no one told me the free shipping was through FedEx's "SmartPost" system. Apparently the requirement to Post Smart is to be as dumb as humanly possible. Check out the route my package has gone so far:
And it started in Oklahoma.
