iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 I take it has the "swivel arm battle grip" like the 1980's vintage GiJoe's? Quote
Greg_W Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 EVERYTHING swivels on that honey!!!! The grip looks just right for....well, you know... Quote
sk Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 YOU GUYS ARE SICK!!! I challenge you to put a transformer into car mode while 4 yr old jumps on your foot and syas "PLEASE MOM PLEASE PUT IT INTO CAR MODE" Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 done and done! 'course transformers probably require a degree in astrophysics these days. Quote
Greg_W Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 I challenge you to put a transformer into car mode while 4 yr old jumps on your foot and syas "PLEASE MOM PLEASE PUT IT INTO CAR MODE" Simple, always have a Disney movie loaded in the DVD. Hit "Play" on "Lilo & Stitch", wait for the eyes to glaze over, run to the back room and figure it out. If necessary, toss some Fruit Snacks on the ground in front of the television. Quote
sk Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 LOL that worked at 3... no longer so distractible looks remarkably like thing 2 "waiting" Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 actually when I have kids I'll just give them a hulahoop and call it good until they're 12 or so. Then maybe give them a gyroscope or something. Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 I think chuck's dancing robot was pretty close to the mark as well. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Iain, don't forget the ever-popular "piece of string" and "stick." Big playtime hits throughout the ages! Quote
Greg_W Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 actually when I have kids I'll just give them a hulahoop and call it good until they're 12 or so. Then maybe give them a gyroscope or something. Poor deluded fool. Grandma is the one you have to watch out for. Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 they would have to graduate from "ball" first. or maybe the invisible "Mr. Wizard" Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 :that laughing face we used to have: Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 for me, grandmothers always meant free chocolate and lots of it. and insane british accents. Quote
Greg_W Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 I'm still working on convincing my daughter to go for the world's record in the "mime game" Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 ah the old "let's play the silent game". I knew that one well, but failed miserably at it. no matchbox car for iain again. Quote
sk Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Iain did your Nanna bring you those yummy cookies???? I had an English grandmother too She was the best!!!! Chocolate mmmmm and yes it does taste better from England Quote
Greg_W Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Hm...I had a German grandmother. Maybe THAT'S why Iain and I don't see eye-to-eye! Quote
iain Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 My mom is from England so I spent a good amount of my youth over there eating chocolate from well-meaning relatives. Chocolate is approximately 100000 times better over there. I was raised on chocolate digestives, jaffa cakes, jelly babies, licorice allsorts, you name it. Quote
Off_White Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Greg said: Where do you draw the line between paranoia and just taking precautions? I carry a gun when I am out in public with my family. In light of the potential danger of someone trying to steal my daughter, am I being paranoid or just cautious? Yes Greg, you're being paranoid. Forget about what you hear on TV, do a little biography work on yourself and your friends. Did this abduction ever happen to you? Anyone in your family? Anyone you personally know? Anyone on this board? For most people, certainly for most of us on this board, life is just not that bad or scary. Very few children are ever abducted by strangers, and in the instances where it does happen, odds are a gun would do no good because the parent is not right there. I don't think anyone would look at you and think they could snatch your child with impunity. But as a friend once pointed out, how many five gallon buckets do you have around your house? Drowning: now there's something to worry about. Quote
allthumbs Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 I carry because I can. Don't like it - tough shit. Quote
Greg_W Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 HAHAHA. Turning the old "5-gallon bucket" story around on me, huh. Well, you're probably right; I still like a little reassurance every once in a while. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 That's why all of Greg's kids wear lifejackets at home! Quote
