I tried to get a Wii to fit.

I can't even get my feet into it, let alone pull it up.

No, it doesn't fit at all.
 
That's where the games go, not your feet. :)

I don't think it will fit in the other place someone told me to put it.
 
eeeuuuwwww...I think the Wii Fit was developed just to see TV news people making fools of themselves on camera trying to hula hoop with no hoop. :)

What's so bad about an entertainment center?And you might be right. It's all part of a conspiracy to make Americans into virtual idiots.
 
Oh yes. I definitely felt like an idiot when I was doing the hula hoop. But, I must say that I've never been so good at keeping the hoop up because I've never been able to do that before. What's even more foolish is the soccer ball headers. I got "hit" in the head more with shoes being thrown then the soccer balls. I was sore later in the day from all the yoga, balance and strength work. Fun, but Dance Dance Revolution is a better cardio workout.

Yes. It did seem long, and then I had to go the other way! It took us a few tries to figure out how to catch hoops. We were trying to twirl and catch at the same time. The trick was to lean and be still rather than still twirl.

I hate it when a parody thread gets hijacked to be the subject of the original. It ruins the parody!

Tried it again - no matter how I try, I can't find a way to make Wii Fit.
 
Did you try laying down flat on the bed?

That's how I get my jeans to zip up.

May work for you....
 
That's a really wee Wii.
