If you can't afford to throw all that cash away on an X-box, then heres the right solution for you.

X-box

Starting from the beginning, heres what you should do.

Step 1) Take a walk down to your local DIY store and purchase 2 big tubs of green and black paint along with a paintbrush, a 10 foot long reel of wire and also dont forget to throw in 2 big black rounded objects.

Step 2) Take your items to the checkout, pay for your goods. However, make sure that before you leave they pack everything inside a cardboard box.

Step 3) Once you've struggled to carry the heavy box all the way home, unpack all of your items from inside off the cardboard box and arrange them in front of you.

Step 4) Open the tub of black paint and then using your brush beginn to paint the cardboard box. Once the cardboard box is painted from top to bottom leave it to one side for it to dry.

Step 5) Take your 10 foot long wire and cut it into 2 equal lengths. Thats 5 foot for all of you that feel challenged by the difficulty of the maths.

Step 6) Take the 2 big black rounded objects and fasten 1 five foot length of wire to each of them.

Step 7) Now take your painted cardboard box and attach the other two ends of the wire to the front of it.

Step 8) Now for the final touches take your green tub of paint and paint a big green 'X' on the top off your box.

Congratulations you now have an x-box with 2 controllers. You must be proud of yourself.

Sorry about the badness of this post, but hey, I was bored!

"I was bored"

That's what they all say. It's basically an excuse meaning "Sorry it's so rubbish - I just happen to be terrible at writing posts."

Tribute, you got it all wrong. I wasn't calling you a fool. It may have sounded that way but that wasn't my intention. You wouldn't go a head and do what I said would you. The obvious answer must be no so I didn't call you a fool.

It was a joke and nothing more. If anyone actually went out and did this then they would be a fool.

No, no, hang on... I've cut it into 2 equal lengths, but they're both 7 foot long. What's gone wrong?
