Drug Bust Interrupted By Presence Of Wii

"Okay, remember the plan. Make sure no suspects are hiding in the house. Search the entire premises for drugs and weapons. And don't forget to...holy shit, is that Wii Bowling?"

With guns drawn, Florida investigators burst into the house of a convicted drug dealer to seize evidence. Instead they were seized by the overwhelming urge to turn on the Nintendo Wii and bowl a few games.

While some detectives hauled out evidence such as flat screen televisions and shotguns, others threw strikes, gutter balls and worked on picking up spares.

A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking.

All told, the detectives put in more than an hour of playing time. Jurors had better hope that the Wii isn't presented as evidence at trial, or the prosecution's witnesses might request to be sequestered with it for a while.

Gen. Petraeus is testifying before Congress tomorrow. As you prepare your notes for his testimony, we ask you to remember his human side, his fun side, his ... Wii golf side. We understand: Sometimes golf can seem like a 100 Years Game to us too.

This was from the USO opening, sent to us by an MP, who claims the General quadruple bogeyed the hole. It happens.

Just because there are no officially licensed Nintendo Cii-Section or Wii Prostate games ... doesn't mean you can't try on your own. After all, there's not much on TV tonight.

Losing Weight The Wii Way

Here's a guy we respect: A man who decided to use the Nintendo Wii as his workout routine and ended up losing nine pounds. For years, we had been trying the video game diet with no positive effects. We suppose the "getting up off the couch" principle was what was always holding us back.
