Girls In Gamestop, Part 2,454,786

AMELIA: I would like to purchase this fine product! *hands cashier tiny Wii*

CASHIER: Now, this is not a real Wii. You realize it is simply a tin to hold gift cards and is in fact $2.99, which is slightly less than even a used Wii costs.

AMELIA: Yes. I am aware of this. Perhaps its size, price, and the way it says “gift card tin” on the package were clues.

CASHIER: Very well. I will ring you up.

I am very glad he didn't ask me what it was for.


Also, dear video game companies: It’s nice that you’re trying to expand your audience to include girls, but I’m beginning to wonder if games like “Imagine You’re a Babysitter” or “Imagine You’re A Fashion Designer” are the right answer to the complaints that there are not enough video games with female protagonists. Just, you know, for the record.

I'd take it away and tell 'em they can't have it back until they can correctly name all seven Koopa Kids and complete the sentence "Thank you, Mario, but ..."

There was Wendy, Roy, Bowser Jr, Ludwig, and I can't remember the others.

And its "Thank You Mario, but our princess is in another castle."

Not bad! (Iggy, Morton Jr., Lemmy, Ludwig, Roy, Wendy O., and Larry.)

Bowser Jr. came later, and that little fuck is DEAD TO ME. I was so happy when the Koopa Kids came back in the Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.

Well, that would be kind of tricky to do, since it's actually TWO sentences: "Thank you Mario!" & "But our princess is in another castle!". :P

Pff. A minor quibble. My inner autocorrect feature knows what it SHOULD be.
