sniffnoyBetween their constant use (N64 thumbsticks wear down very quickly compared to other controllers), Ben and Jacob smashing them against the couches, and the occasional theft, Tufts House is often short of good N64 controllers. Sometime back in the first or second quarter, the house bought four new controlles, but how long did those last?
Recently - OK, not recently, some time ago - Ian tried to fix this by buying two third-party controllers by a company named "Yobo". He was ridiculed for this, and the house refused to reimburse him. The two Yobos were, in fact, better than some of the controllers we were currently using, but not for very long. It was only a few days before the thumbstick on one of them was completely unusable, and maybe a week or two before the other one went.
So what do you do with two useless controllers? Leave them around in case the other ones get stolen, as we do with all the other bad controllers? Of course not, these are Yobos! Obviously, you toss them around, steal one of them (I don't know why someone would take one, but one has totally disappeared) and, of course, wrap one's cord around a ceiling fan and turn the fans on so it goes swinging around until, after several days, the cord breaks and the Yobo is flung to the ground.
Then you start randomly saying the word "Yobo" (especially when Ian is around, of course), rename the Tufts House mailing list (recall, this is not the official Tufts listhost) to "Yobohost", and end all your emails with "Yobo."
...Yobo.

(In the meantime, Aaron has gone and bought us some actual good (first-party) controllers. Naturally, they've already started disappearing. Yobo.)
