The backstory:  [profile] rickthefightguy made a user profile for himself on the Wii Fit, but hasn't been able to weigh in for quite a while.  For the first week or so, every so often when I would go to weigh in, it would ask me if I had seen Rick lately.   It's also been snarking a bit, making Rick's avatar fall asleep, that kind of thing.  On Monday, it got a little more personal.

Before I weighed in on Monday, the Wii asked me, "so how healthy is Rick looking these days?"   It gave me a couple of choices, i.e. 'heavier', 'lighter', 'about the same', and 'don't know'.  I chose 'the same', and the Wii said a little sadly, "oh... Change is so much more exciting, don't you think?" which was hilarious enough, but the next message... 



I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.  The next message was even worse, although sadly I didn't get a picture of it... it said something like, "on a different subject, it's been shown that when owners spend more time with their dog, the dog gets more motivated!"   

As far as I can tell, the Wii Fit is actually the Mother-In-Law From Hell.

If I were not at work, there would be some full on hysterical laughter going on here. As it is, some well-controlled chuckling.

Maybe you should pay more attention to Rick :P

Pretty well. Just got back from a conference in San Antonio, and the Wii would have some choice words for me now, I am sure. (Tex-mex every meal, and a _lot_ of free booze...)

Err, I understand that people need motivation, but I would be quite annoyed if my computer nagged me about what my husband does or does not do. Perhaps there is some kind of "nagging is acceptable" option that is turned on.

That seals it. I now MUST own a Wii.

I want to see the A-Man argue with a video game.
