Only if you're skinny, have a nice tan and wear Benneton's white collection for our first date.
 
 If you bring a Veuve Clicquot Traveller Bag and a copy of Ice Princess on DVD we can make an afternoon of it.  
 
 If things go REALLY well, maybe even into the night with some re-runs of Lonelygirl15 and The Secret Lif of the American Teenager over some Rickstacy's.

the real challenge/problem with wii fit is  . . . try to keep at it for more than four months.  working out this way is dedication!  and it calls you fat to keep you wanting to continue, as so not to waste the product, then blame nintendo for overpriced garbage.

question for the fans of first person shooters.  i never got into the genre, never saw the interest in the days of doom and quake, or the latter times of halo/half life/medal of honour/etc....  just played my real first "sort of fps" in a resident evil game and LOVED IT.  what are the best fps game(s) of the past that i can hone my skills, so that i too can kill like i'm really doing it but not go hell as baby jesus watches?
