This morning I learned something and I feel it is my obligation to pass along these valuable lessons to save others the aggravation I am experiencing.
If you are looking to buy the most popular electronic toy, a toy they only get into the freaking store once a month and at that, in limited supplies:
1. Do not get to the store a mere 15 minutes before it opens. There will already be 3,400 people in line.
2. Bring along a samurai sword so that if someone cuts in front of you and ends up with the very last ticket, a ticket that should have been yours, you can cut then in half and take the ticket.
3. If you are required to go to the store on a Sunday morning, get to Mass before the shopping trip. Attending Mass when you are cranky and annoyed and wishing bad things upon the man who cut the line and got your game system is not a good idea. (I hope his son breaks the damn thing within hours. It’ll serve him right.)

What is up with those people that camp out the night before? I remember when the Wii first came out, a friend of mine hauled her son over to the local big-box retailer at 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning so he could line up; and there were already tons of people in line then! Were you going for the PS3? My grandsons are all coveting that right now. What I wanna know is this? This guy who cut in front of you in line? How did he make it through that maneuver alive? I hope you at least said something to him, like “I know where you live.”
I wonder if he has any idea how close he came to meeting an untimely death. Which, in my opinion, he deserved. Because you’re my friend and I’m loyal like that. 
Here is what Cutting-In-Line Guy will find out:
What goes around, comes around…

Usually no one would get away with cutting in front of me like that. For some odd reason, the rage machine was asleep.
I was looking to buy a Wii for Frank. He likes video games & I was thinking that this would be perfect. It’s wireless and you physically swing the controller, like you’re batting a baseball or smacking a tennis ball. Thought it would be a great way for him to exercise his right arm.

Well, I guess! I couldn’t believe it when I read someone butted and they were still alive to tell it. In case I didn’t already spew enough cliches…karma can be a bitch, and he’ll get his.
I guess the Wii is a lot of fun; like I said, my friend’s kids have a couple. I don’t think they’re quite so hard to come by around here as they were last winter. Hope you’re able to find one for Frank.
Guess what? Nothing better presented itself, so I am busy doing house stuff. I guess I don’t have any friends, either. At least not ones who want to go do fun things on Sunday. That is why you will probably get many more comments from me today, as I take frequent breaks.

I wish I had known you were looking for one, my sons friend bought one a couple of months ago and then decided he wanted PS3 so he just sold his to someone online. He says he didn’t have any trouble getting one around here.
Kim and I would have made you lots of good desserts and baked files in them because thats what bloggy friends are for.
I can’t believe you didn’t get put in jail

Katy is right; that is exactly what we will do if you ever find yourself in jail. I will also, in addition to the file, bake in a toothbrush that has been made into a shiv. Because, Monkling, in my book you are ALRIGHT, which is a huge compliment.
