Wheeeee!

Actually it’s Wii, the latest in the 7th generation of gaming systems put out by Nintendo.
Now I’m no gamer.
Until Nicholas received “Guitar Hero” for Christmas last year, I haven’t touched a gaming system since Pac Man.
But once I played it, I was hooked for weeks on being a rock star.

This evening, we were over at some friend’s house when they broke out their new Wii.
I was intrigued by the tennis game and decided to give it a shot.
I ruled the court baby!
And I actually broke out into a sweat.
This thing is awesome on so many levels, game on.

Obviously impressed by my natural ability, Pam our hostess, challenged me to a match.
“You’re on” I told her.
But before I could even get up and out of my chair,
She backhanded me right in the schnoz with the controller.
I mean I saw starts man…I just about hit the deck!

I faintly remember back around Christmas time, Nintendo had to put a warning out to hold onto the controllers when playing.
Apparently players were getting a bit over zealous and putting the thing right through the TV.
I’m wondering now as I sit here with my head splitting, my nose throbbing and my teethe aching if I shouldn’t give them a head’s up about this danger as well.

I’m going to bed now with an ice pack on my face.
I can’t wait to wake up in the morning to see if I have a shiner.

Wheeeeee…
