Life is full of disappointments and I have to say these last few months I have had so many disappointments I don’t feel like I can handle another. (insert tiny violins here) This post on my blog of mas destruction cleverly disguised as a hot dog stand is a sad tale of my latest disappointment. You might want to grab a box of tissues before reading.
Where is my Wii?
While attending the NAR national convention I stopped by the NAR “public awareness campaign booth” which I think is a good thing to write about because it will increase public awareness. They had a gum ball machine and I twisted the little lever and out came a plastic thingy that represented a prize.
The nice people running the booth announced that I had just won a Wii. I waited patiently for my Wii. I don’t have a Wii and I think they are way cool. I am pretty sure that a Wii would change my life.
Where is my Wii?
Two days ago a package arrived. It was from the company that ran the NAR booth where I won a Wii. I opened it up and inside there is a box that says “Canon Powershot A480” on it. I have not yet opened the box because I have hit a kind of wall where I simply can’t handle another disappointment in my so called life, especially not one of this magnitude. I am just so afraid that the box contains a camera instead of a Wii that I can’t face opening it. For now I can imagine it is a Wii because my imagination is my best friend and coping skill.
Where is my Wii?
I contacted some friends who were with me when I won the Wii. I was thinking that “Cannon Powershot” and “Wii” sound alike especially if you say them fast and so maybe I just heard it wrong. Everyone I was with heard the same thing that I heard so I decided to contact the person who sent me what ever is in the box labeled “Canon Powershot”. That was a couple of days ago and I have not gotten a response.
Where is my Wii?
Voodoo. It permeated the convention center. Simply voodoo.
There isn’t anyway Voodoo could get near the place with all of the Realtors hanging out.
Hey T… As one of those “witnesses”.. I have at least a piece of the proof puzzle should you need to “litigate”.. ugh.. what an ugly word.. . I’m sending you a copy of the photograph I took of you sealing the contract by handshake! You are a winner of a Wii.. not a digital camera… my God.. if they only knew what a slap in the face it would be to send YOU of all people a point and shoot.. it’s like sending Picasso a paint by numbers kit!
I’m willing to travel and testify on your behalf the fact that you won a Wii not a camera! And I’ll be right there with should you need to start a campaign to obtain your rightful prize!
Wii Winners Of The World – UNITE!

Wow! I just got the photo and need to post it. There isn’t any way that I would be smiling like that if I had won a canon powershot! Thanks so much for the photographic evidence. Where is my Wii??
Am still chuckling! This has to be Divine Comedy–of sorts. You sure this isn’t a practical joke and that Kristal didn’t get the same thing?
It does seem like a practical joke.
