is the only difference between the Xbox 360 System & Xbox 360 Arcade the hard drive and $100? Just coming up with options in case they want to charge crazy dollars to repair mine.

Omnis, ND says yes, basically, but the arcade has only a wired contoller (but you already have a wireless, so that shouldn't matter) and comes with fewer games.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got home to an empty house and therefore my first chance to try the wii. I started out feeling kind of dumb re: Metroid since I've never played it before but it's the only game we have so far so I persevered until I was really loving it. Being a ball rocks!.. until I got to the first puzzle I couldn't solve in ten tries and now I hate it.

We played Tigris & Euphrates tonight with sparky DH and it was awesome fun.

Oh dear.
So ND just set me up with an XBox Live account, which meant that my normal gamertag (Pixie) needed to be updated since it's long been taken online. XBox Live generated some...interesting...possibilities:
First, it provided variations on Pixie, such as:
- TastelessPixie
- Soluable Pixie
- SpaceyPixie
- ColossalPixie
- BossyPixie
- FolkloricPixie
- VexedPixie
- BourgeoisPixie
- ManlikePixie
Then it just got weird.
- UntenableSwine
- UnivocalWhale
- TalentedLeopard
- SauciestGrain
- WaterlessJeans
- CluelessAnt
- CelestialDuck
- ProximateWeevil
- AimelessEmu
- WilierPants
- InformalDwarf
- SloshyCashew
- SparkyTeacher (don't ask me how it knew)
- TwirlyGroundhog
- PertQuasar
- NonprofitRug
- MottledPuma
- MuffledPython
- SerratedCrayon
- UnsavoryBus
- AthleticMango
- PigheadedWig
- FoamingLettuce
- PrelaunchAmoeba
- BedsidePoem
- UvealComa
- FlusherCookie
- BounciestFeline
- ShellyAmpersand
- SaucyNebula
- VaguerDeer
- StingiestRhyme
- CyanoticLlama
- RecalledOrphan
- VigorousGnu
- MustyBigfoot
- ArduousCarcass
- DactylicSquash
- PerkyCroissant
- MotivatedGibbon
- CrispierPorpoise
- IrateCheese
I don't even know how to pick my favorite. ND thinks that b.org should have a random name generator like this for newbies. I'm inclined to agree.

Oh lord. I haven't laughed that long and hard in a long time.

Seriously! We couldn't stop asking it for more suggestions because they just kept getting funnier!

I kinda love ProximateWeevil though.

Our wings are not tired.
If b.org had this name generator I would surely change my name.
FoamingLettuce is interesting as are they all, but I'd go with FoamyPixie.
