Thank You Citibank, Wii Haikus, And My Week 15 (Fantasy) Football Thoughts
I hate rain.
Sorry, no quick hitters today.
- Thank you, Citibank. Thank you for not closing my last statement until five days later than normal, even though the statement officially closed around the time I expected it to. Thank you for not sending me my usual email saying that my statement is ready. Thank you for not notifying me that I can’t make an online payment for 30 days after making a flubbed payment (yes, my fault), leaving me just four business days to mail you out a check. Most importantly, thank you for reminding me why (shudder…) Chase gets the bulk of my business.
Thank You Points? You guys should offer Screw You Points.
- After playing some Wii Tennis today, against computer Pros with obscenely high ranks (1400s, I believe), I wrote the following Haiku.
Wii Tennis is lame.
The computer cheats so much
My Wii-mote got chucked.
Awful, I know 
(Tangent: Yes, I am now in possession of a Wii! I have no games–Wii Sports excluded–but with the mileage I’m getting out of Wii Sports, I may not need to buy a game any time soon!
Fellow Wii owners: shoot me your Wii Friend codes!)
My sister then took the Wii Fitness test–she really stinks at it :P–and it was determined that her Wii age was 68!!! That inspired me to create another Haiku:
[She] is sixty-eight
according to Wii Fitness.
She needs some fiber.
I’m a dead man.
- Here are my Week 15 (Fantasy) Football thoughts:
1) Fantasy Football Playoff Update: The best team in the Bargain$hare league is OUT, after losing last week, 61-50.
It doesn’t help that Tom Brady scored three points; then again, his opponent had Tony Romo (3 pts).
I also got ousted, 112-95. Looks like I’m headed for another fourth-place finish, after the best team in the league gets through with me, in the third place game.
In the only other league where I made the playoffs, I was also one-and-done. Looks like I’ll finish fourth there too.
2) I share Jim Rome’s sentiment in being very very very pissed off at the Miami Dolphins. Three more losses and you guys would have made history!
Stupid Brian Billick (for not going for it on fourth and goal at the 1). Stupid Matt Stover (for missing the FG in OT). Stupid Miami Dolphins.
Grrrr…
3) I know that this joke has been made eleventy billion times already, but Tony Romo really needs to keep his attractive, um, guests, away from him during games! At the very least, try a brunette!
4) LaDainian Tomlinson is running the Chargers towards a huge playoff push, while the NY Giants are (again?) choking away the season (though they should make the playoffs, barring a mammoth gag), while Eli Manning continues to regress.
5) Speaking of San Diego, that sound you hear is teams fearing the possibility of facing the Chargers, Browns (yes, the Browns), and the Vikings (or even the Saints, should they somehow make the playoffs). Isn’t momentum great?
6) Screw you, Baltimore.
See ya.
Congrats on your new console! My Wii code is 1869 7339 3149 5136.
BTW, Wii tennis kicks ass — Wii baseball is the one that sucks. jm2c, ‘course.
What games are you gonna get? My faves so far have been Warioware Smooth Moves and Super Mario Galaxy.
I gotta get Super Mario Galaxy (maybe with my next Symantec Rebate Debit Card…)
I hate Wii Baseball! Oddly enough, I’m pretty damn good in a real-life batting cage, but I can’t play Wii Baseball for the life of me! I keep losing with scores of ~ 2-1.
Ditto on the Wii Tennis sentiment, though they should have implemented drop shots! I love torturing my sister with drop shots in real life tennis
My S.O. and I got a wii for x-mas from his mother and we have been loving it! we are: 2634 2569 0068 5610
we’ve been borrowing and renting games and i love, love love warioware smooth moves! it seemed like a short game, but it’s because we couldn’t put the wii-motes down! once you unlock multi player mode the group games can be fun too.
mario galaxy is okay, but it makes me nauseous.
we love the wii sports, bowling being our favorite and baseball being our least favorite.
the wii play disk that came with the extra remots is pretty fun too, i love racing the knitted cows!
I have yet to try Super Mario Galaxy, only because Wii Tennis and Wii Bowling consumes most of my Wii time.
You’re talking about the Wii Play, right? I was going to pick that up myself, until Krunk surprised me with a Wii-mote for Christmas.
