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.
