And we went to the Statue of Liberty, the U.N. and the Museum of Natural History, but apparently those made no impact.

So ShallowGal and son have returned from New York and are here to tell you all that the Big Apple has to offer for 10 year old boys:

1. The Nintendo store
2. The second floor of the Nintendo store
   

Yes. At 10 Rockefeller Plaza, there exists a two story emporium where pre-teen boys can kneel down and worship both the Wii and the DS. There's even a small 'museum' showing the history of Game Boys (all of which are older than Maggie.) (1)

Now ShallowGal has nothing against Nintendo. Hell, SG was just five minutes ago playing dance dance revolution on her Wii and thanking the heavens above for allowing her to be born into such a remarkable age. But ShallowGal has one problem with Nintendo and it is a biggie.

They misused an apostrophe on their home page.

And their home page is blurry too, but that's not important now

ShallowGal will zoom in for you:

SG would circle it too, if she only had photoshop.

ShallowGal has always had problems with apostrophes. They're tricky little buggers. But if SG had profits of over FIVE BILLION dollars last year alone, she would hire an apostrophe expert. (2)

Hey Nintendo ! Do the frequently asked questions own something? Are there missing letters for which the apostrophe is trying to compensate? (3) No and no. If you're going to have such a major impact on the life of my 10 year old, can you at least pretend that things like grammar still matter?

The correct abbreviation is FAQs. No thanks are necessary Nintendo (although that new Wii ski game would be an excellent sign that there are no hard feelings between us.)


1) But younger than John McCain.
2) And a personal trainer.
3) besides "requently sked uestions"

Things that ShallowGal finds in her mailbox, ironically the same day she has a wee case of writer's block

ShallowGal now has the proper tools to overseed her lawn and invade Canada
