will sell pinky finger for wii

my dad has got to be the one of the hardest people to shop for - not that he is particular or finicky in any way. in fact, he is the most agreeable person i know. get him any old thing - he'll wear it, carry it, eat it, etc. once on a visit home, he happened to answer the door in a t-shirt adorned with a strange cartoon that said "will sell husband for food." did it make any sense? no. the question should be "did he even notice?"

the hardest thing each holiday season is to find things for dad that he is actually excited about. ties, wallets, sweaters, watches, pajamas - never suffice. as i have written here before, he loves gadgets to the extent that he is sometimes better known as robo-dad.



so what better gift to get him this year than a nintendo wii?



the problem is that HOW DOES ONE PROCURE SUCH AN ITEM THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS? anybody? anybody?

UPDATE 12/21: wii obtained! thank you, craigslist.
