X-ray vision

So Sunday I broke free and finally wasn’t doing any paid work. I managed to get out of the house without Melissa. For the last two months I had been trying to do it discretely, and do my usual routine, “I’m going to Home Depot, Wal*Mart, Lowes… Do you want to go?” She kept saying yes. I finally told her that I needed to go out and shop for her gifts, and the whole thing about tagging along. Since it was early still we went to breakfast, where we waited for 10 minutes for the waitress to bring us our bill only to find it had been sitting on the table. We finished eating and went on our separate ways. While out I found what I thought would be a great toy for her to play with the cat with. I assumed it was a smaller version of this with a limited AI. I decided the toy was more for the cat than the wife and got it out to terrorize the animals.
What I got was screwed. From the link go to the bottom of the list, and it’s the robo raptor. The have a peak at the FAQ’s. When you turn it on it’s like a giant battery powered wind up toy with a limp. It keeps walking in circles. Hell it couldn’t even navigate the flat carpet we have. I just as well could have purchased X-Ray specs from the old comic books.

I hate returning crap. Even when it’s crap.
