Coming soon: Wii dumbbells

I’ve been meaning to post a review of this for months, but we moved, and the holidays, and… Well, you know all the excuses.

Happy New Year, everybody! I’m still digging through boxes. Has anyone seen the one labeled “lamp shades?” In other news, here’s a link I found a while back (October, 2008), but never got around to sharing.
