We can't find our Wii!

It's white, has an output resolution of 480i and should be packaged with at least one controller and a couple of games. We haven't met it yet, but we're already in love. If only we were all together... just me, Ben and Wii.

Seriously, I wasn't in a big rush to get one as soon as they came out in what, the end of November? It's February and I still can't find one. For a while they weren't advertised in the Sunday newspaper ads, but I got my hopes up this past Sunday when Target had an ad. I called around and nobody has them in stock. I even called Wal-Mart and the helpful customer service asshole laughed out loud.

Anyway, I found this link that apparently is connected to Target's database of Wii products and tells me that all of Utah is out of stock. Grrrowl. To check your local area, just change the zip code in the URL.

Bonus Geek Test percentage point if you can tell me what URL stands for RIGHT NOW. You get negative karma if you Google it and come back all like, "I totally knew what it was right then when you asked." Shyea. Like I don't know how quickly Google changed my life. Google and I have been together since the late 90s. We're solid.

I just hope they stop eating internet startups like they were Lays Barbecue Potato Chips made with the new recipe (ohmygod those are dangerously tasty). I don't want Google to get so big that I have to criticize them like other Monopolizing Companies That Shall Remain Unnamed. Eh, they're probably big enough for me to criticize now. Especially because I didn't buy any shares when their sock went public.

Why is it that math wasn't one of my strongest areas when I'm so good with tangents?
