So, I went to Gamestop after bowling...
Me: Nnn... I don't see Touched! on the shelf...
Mom: Ask the clerk.
Me: Do you have WarioWare: Touched for the Nintendo DS?
Clerk: [checks computer] Ah, nope, not a single copy...
Me: Ah. Well, the other reason I'm here is to ask, when Wii is released on the 19th, would it be possible to get one if I didn't reserve?
Clerk: Maybe. Only if we get extras, which we might not.
Me: [knowing that I'll never get one from here] Well, okay...
To Target
Me: They don't have WarioWare here, either. Crap. Excuse me, um... On the 19th, er... I mean, have preorders for Wii been taken, or will they be, or what?
Target Man: Nope, they'll all be up for grabs. First come, first serve.
Me: Really? Great! So, when are you opening on the 19th.
Target Man: Eight AM. But no hurry, really, if you show up early you'll be able to get one.
Me: Oh, cool.
Target Man Number Two: I don't know, the vendor I talked to said that throughout America on release day, there'll only be one million Wiis to go around.
Target Man: Well, yeah, but...
Target Man Number Two: And that's for everyone, not just Target. Wal*Mart, GameStop, EB Games, Software Etc.
Me: [Knowing darn well the latter two will get, like, five Wiis each] Well, I just want to know if I'm one of the earliest birds, could I get one here?
Target Man: Yeah. I mean, there'll be campers, but there should be enough Wii for everyone.
Me: All right, see you next week.
And I even got a microphone from there. Plug and play, it works. Oh, and we won all three games bowling today, and today was important. We are in first!!
