I am crying into my Mario-shaped pillows right now.

And worse, I’m still going to buy one. Although I might have to order it online because I don’t know if I can face going into a shop and asking for a “Wii”.

Edit

This news has only been public for, like 4 hours or so, 3 of which I spent in the pub, and I’m already completely fscking sick of all the retarded “OMGLOLZ0R!!!111 IT IS LIKE WEE LIKE OUT OF UR N0B!!!!11111eleven” jokes. STOP IT. NOW. If this goes on for the next five years I’m actually going to kill someone. Seriously.

Or at least, so Israel claim. And Israel have absolutely no reason to exaggerate the threat from Iran, so I’m sure this is totally unbiased and reliable information. Yes.

Not only did I get a nice personal email from Brent Lee hisself when I asked if they could ship the CDs to the UK, but when it turned up today I even got a nice personalised thank you card with it. It’s now taking pride of place on my desk atop a big pile of documents and coffee shop loyalty cards.

Your search returned no documents.

gcc just kicked out this code:

Brilliant.

Hmm.

Do you think they… know?

Two Toucan street salespeople types (you know, the ones that stop you in the street and offer you a “discount on your BT bill”, because, like, BT forgot to do this themselves and the only way they can let people know is by stopping them on the street at random. Yes.) sat outside the trendy (but utterly generic) new coffee shop on Deansgate – with McDonalds’ coffees. You can’t pay for class like that.

Nayf wanted to know exactly what Tim Horton’s confusingly-named “Roll Up The Rim To Win” promotion was all about – and who can blame him? With such a deep and impenetrable name, I bet most of you are wondering, too. So, without further ado, there follows a full and complete explanation.

In Canadialand, there are a chain of baked-goods-and-beverage outlets (that is, the goods are baked, not the beverages; that’d just be weird) called Tim Horton’s. They’re really rather good and their Canadian Maple doughnuts are quite, quite fabulous – and they go just perfectly with a nice strong, black coffee, served in a stylish Tim Horton’s paper cup.

Now, here’s the clever part: the “rim” of the paper cup is – get this! – made up of the same cardboard as the rest of the cup but rolled over, to form a strengthening rim, holding the cup in shape. Genius, I know.

So, what the ever-so-clever people at Tim Horton’s figured was that – hey, if the rim is rolled over – they could get people to unroll the rim, revealing the print underneath! And they could print messages there! Messages like “Sorry, no prize this time – try again!” and, apparently, “Congratulations, you have won a really expensive car”. But they don’t just print these messages – oh no! If your message says you’ve won something, you really have! You can exchange your winning cup for whatever prize it says you’ve won. How magic is that?

And that, my friends, is the deep and mysterious secret behind Tim Horton’s clever promotion. Now, a short message for people in Canadia: SEND DOUGHNUTS AND MAPLE SYRUP. Thanks.
