When I was dead broke, I couldn't picture this

After years of bitching about the price, I bought the XBox 360 video game system last night.  Because sometimes when I get home from a long day at the office, I want to shoot things.
 
When I walked into Gamestop, there were three teens behind the counter arguing over the smell of french fries. 
 
I said, "Gentlemen, this is a proud day for me.  Please give me the 360 Pro."
They said, "That's awesome, you're going to love it." 
I said, "And give me a copy of Halo 3."
They said, "It's so much better than the second one, it's incredible."
I said, "And give me one of those pink controllers."
They said, "What? What is wrong with you?  Man, you seemed cool there for a minute.  You can't play Halo with a pink controller."
 
I just laughed and said that pink was my favorite color.  They went quiet until I left.   Even with a 360, I'm still supremely uncool.
