Dopefish of ShackNews fame submitted this gem:

A friend of mine that never plays videogames actually got into playing the Wii.  It was awesome to see him finally enjoy gaming. Well... about an hour into the festivities, he was bowling with too much enthusiasm and too little strap-around-the-wrist.  BAM.  Wii-mote, meet my $3500 TV.  Cracked the LCD panel, all it does now is make rainbows.  My friend felt so bad he immediately went out and bought me a new one, and I think he's scared himself off gaming for life now :(

I think you'll want to let your friend know that he made you E famous, and that is worth canceling a personal vacation for.
