I dropped the Pikmin disk into the Washing Basket. I didn't realise, and I was looking everywhere for the disk.
It came out of the Washing Machine all ruined, with scratches on it.

On the plus side, it now smells good..

On the bad side, It means I no longer have Pikmin. Or Monkey Ball.

"What happened to Monkey Ball?"

The cat thought it was a toy, so he took it outside and pulled it apart. It'll teach me never to leave game discs sitting on top of the machine.

Meh, it could have been worse.
I could have had my head chopped off by a Panda come Orangutan.

Always look on the bright, side of life.

I don't know about you, but my Mother wouldn't come round my house just to randomly destroy anything she sees..

Try getting one of those machines that fixes and fills scratches in DVD's and stuff, I've heard they can work miracles. Hope that helps!

I had 9 games when I got that free gift. Quite annoying, seeing as the bloody thing only holds 8 games. Good job I got a DVD rack that holds around 45 DVD cases for Christmas....

Pity I keep knocking the bloody thing over.
