Harvest in the Heartland for Nintendo DS?
WHO IS BUYING THIS? I mean, I’m really pleased that it exists, but . . . WHO IS BUYING THIS?
Although, I’ll tell you–the $14.99 price tag sure does appeal to my farmgirl sensibilities.
Of Course I Was in Ohio When I Found This

Oh! Oh! I thought of you (and this video game) when I saw all the John Deere Christmas decorations at Wal-Mart. I also thought of your step brother. And my second cousin. And Katie Noecker.
Can you imagine how life was different for people who grew up without an awareness that there are people in the world who love and collect John Deere memorabilia?
Wait, like, the store is decorated in Deere? Or they’re selling Deere decorations? Because I would sort of love to bring back a strand of tractor Christmas lights to drape over Wen’s headboard.
These people have probably never heard someone use the word “hogs” in seriousness, either. Nor the word “crick”. Nor “warshcloth”. So sad.
MY MOTHER SAYS WARSH. Her mother was from Ohio, so that lovely pronunciation has long been a source of amusement for us, her angelic children.
It’s good to know that the tradition is still live and well in Ohio.
(Do you call shopping carts “buggies,” too?)
Now that you mention it, I have known a few people who call shopping carts “buggies”. No one in my family does it, though.
Katie?
The store isn’t decorated that way, but they sure are sellin’ lots of those decorations. I’m not sure if the tractor lights exist, but there’s stockings and ornaments and tree skirts.
It ain’t walmart, but Cabela’s sells strings of shotgun shell christmas lights. You might even be able to get them for an awesome post-christmas sale price!
(I was a little afraid to point those out to Denny, afraid that he’d say “let’s get some!” but, thankfully, he did not.)

I kind of want a nintendo ds just so I can play that :-/
It’s funny how you’re becoming more and more of a hick while I’m becoming more and more of a bitch. How our surroundings and our boyfriends–mine in a tie and yours in a wifebeater–affect us.
When I get back to Ohio, I’ll send you a list of fun DS games. Off the top of my head though, check out the Rayman Raving Rabbids (FUN!), Lego Indiana Jones (you blow into the microphone to inflate the raft and blow out the lights), and Wordmaster (I picked it for $4.99 at Target it’s a fun word game).
Yay for enjoying the ds. It’s awesome!
