I want to play with my ding-a-ling

Good times this weekend.

The primary highlight was a video game tourney and home-cooked Korean barbecue at my friend Peter’s house. Peter (a former co-worker) and his fiance, Ann, laid out quite a spread of delicious kalbi, rice cakes, kalbi, fried fish, kalbie, kimchi, and some totally yummy kalbi. We also played a bunch of video games, but most of that part of the night is kind of fuzzy. I know I played the wrong screen on 4-man Halo and therefore got pwned.

One part that is clear is that The Wife pronounced “I want one!” almost as soon as she touched the Nintendo Wii. The Wife gets what The Wife wants (especially when it’s something I’ve been forcing myself *not* to buy up to now), so we now have a shiny new Wii and the sore shoulders to prove it. (Here’s the tip for those of you searching for a Wii: WalMart. I never go in the place, generally, but our local Wally World had about 10 of the things.)

Now we just have to find something other than Wii Sports to play on the thing…

Oh, and yesterday I came into work for a half day. Boo. Big launch tomorrow, so it’s crunch time…

    supposedly there is a harry potter game coming for the wii in which you use the controller like a wand.

    dude, wii kicked your ass. until you can handle the toy you might want to stay away from the boflex clothes hanger you have.

    i think there is a zelda game.

    No dude. You don’t get it. I’ve been working the bowflex lately. Fairly regularly, in fact.

    Wii is mean to me.

    I’ve seen the Gym Jones before (they are big on the kettlebells), but I don’t get it.
    Is there something to it?
    Is it a place? A plan? What?

    Looks friggin’ hard core.

  7. ed says

    a plan, we used to do it for fun back at my last job

  8. Jake says

    You mean the job where they made you work out every day?

  9. ed says

    yeah, we worked out in the morning and do that stuff in the afternoon. the heman macho posing stuff is a little much for me but the excersizes are pretty cool.

  10. Jake says

    So… How do you get into it? Is there a book or dvd?
    It’s very secretive…

  11. Jake says

    Bah… http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=31

    Gym Jones is a gym. It is a physical location. (In SLC.)
    Gym Jones is not a “program.�
    Gym Jones is exclusive. We exclude.
