what that rule? a minute for every year of their life?

Right Seany, I'm not sure how old you are, but i'm guessing around twenty five, so out you go!

Sit on those steps there, 25 minute and think about what you've done!

*cracks whip*

(not really apropriate for small children, but I think Sean can handle it)

I had a whip once (think calm thoughts Jadehand)The president of our student union had a big thing for Indiana Jones, and turned up at a halloween party at my place in the full outfit, Hat whip bag et al. It looked great, someone asked where he got the whip from, as he'd never managed to complete his Indy props (yeah right the room thought) but he wouldn't tell, so we got him pissed as a rat, and it turned out that he'd got it from a sex shop, but not wanting to look like a total pervert, he'd gone in his full costume and even quote lines at the girl in the store so that she couldn't possibly think he was some s&m enthusiast lawyer.

Anyway, he forgot it. God knows where it is now.

I wish he'd left the hat instead.

Well, then you can stay for 24 minutes on the naughty step. But, if you get off the step for any reason, you have to start all over.

And after 24 minutes, we want an apology and then you can run outside and play.

not just for you sweetie. any of you guys get out of line and its the Step for you.

Any behaviour worse than that and... I'll let Serenity take that one.
Not particularly liking any of the children that I come into contact with (other than my niece and the children of friends that i've gotten to know), my idea of punishing them would probably lead to the need for theraphy as an adult.

I'n fact if the worst ever happens and I become a mother, my first saving fund that I open for them will be their payments for coulnselling and possibly admittance to a nice comfy friendly clean facility with padded walls.

I will make a terrible terrible parent.

There is a learning curve involved. It's worth it in my opinion but expect a few false starts before you figure out how to make things work in your nation. I started with Civ 2 and I think it took a week before I eked out my first win and about a month till I finally groked it enough to routinely win. Civ 3 took a lot longer for some reason but Civ 4 was much easier to get up and running with and removed some of the tedium that had crept into civ 3 (while adding a little bit of it's own.) so if you're just starting out go with 4. (Or 2 but finding a copy and then getting that to run under xp can be a drag.)

Read the manual and start off with the tutorial then just play around a bit untill you get comfortable with the game. For the first few games go with the smaller maps (tiny or small - battle is just a bit too small) that'll speed play while you learn. Also choose Roosevelt as your leader, he's good at the city developement stuff and should make the game easier to play to begin with and more rewarding along the length of the game.

A word of warning unless you are running with a bit better than the recomended specs you will have performance issues out of the box. There is a patch available for that problem now so after you install go straight to the website for the download.

That and I'm on restricted duties at work, one hand only. It's like watching Doctor Strangelove. I keep catching myself using my left hand when I'm not supposed to. Things like telephones and such.
Point of clarification on my last post, you do realize I was joking right? I might be a pirate, sort of, but I can think things through, and what you can't con or take is friendship and I consider you folks to be, my friends.

'wash the car... bake a cake... cock a leg... piss on grandma... superman!' and you had to do actions (wash the car was invariably the 'wax on wax off' motion from Karate Kid, bake a cake was mixing something in a bowl***)

Thank you Seryn, FollowMal issued my browncoat the first or second day I was here.

Bad songs that everyone has to dance to...I was a camp counselor once (once!) for 6-10 year olds. We had a song called "Let me see your..." fill in the blank. It went like:

Let me see your Superman!
-What's that you say?
I said let me see your Superman!
-What's that you say?
I said Ooh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ooh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ooh Ahh Ahh Ahh...(strike a pose) I'm Superman!

On and on ad nauseum. My favorite was Batman. Rather than all the Ooh's and Aah's you just stood there for a moment with your arms crossed and then said "I'm Batman" in a low voice.
Kids loved it, but it drove us counselors batty...until, of course, we got to play it without the kids in the room. Then it got...interesting.

Citizen-yes, that is exactly what ant lions are. They hide under the sand at the bottom of the cones and can feel the vibrations of anything walking near the cone. If whatever it is does not fall all the way down to the ant lion, they toss bits of sand at it until they can grab ahold of it and drag it under the sand.
Now I'm going to have to check out Half Life 2 to see the ant lions!

the ant lions in half life two more closely resemble the bugs from Starship Troopers. they leap up out of the sand, fly over, and attack. You can eventually kill a 'queen' and take a pheramone sac, which allows you to control and direct the ant lions for a seige on an old prison.
Fun game. I loved the grav-gun.

I said a boom chicka locka chicka locka chicka boom (repeat)

Once a year, they had a weekend where they brought girls and their dads and tried to get them interested in all the stuff the boys did all summer. And then they begged all the female friends and girlfriends of all the guy counsellors to come work. So, being a girlfriend, I got suckered.

Try to imagine all these little girls running around MAD while their dads stand around Agog, having no clue how to discipline them or engage them in activities they aren't interested in.

And then, imagine me trying to pretend like shooting sling shots and rifles was SO VERY COOL!! and getting 8 year old Disney Princess fans to try it. Yeah, right.

And then, now, imagine me trying to reign in one wild child, who thought it would be fun to run and tackle me, and me landing in a big mud puddle (because it was cold and rainy all weekend)while her dad stood idly by, doing nothing. And now, please imagine my joy at having to spend the rest of the weekend in a damp and muddy sweatshirt.

I got out before the fencing became popular, and they had all the rules banged out, but I was a fencer outside the SCA...kinda. I had a group of friends who were more into the live steel fighting, so we used minimal protection and used the No.5 fencing blades. We slowly graduated to Starfires, during which time I began choreographing smaller sword fights (for the University's Madrigal Dinner). This eventually led to choreographing and directing an act for a local Ren Faire, which led to the unofficial creation (with another friend and the Drama department's costumer) of a Ren Faire production company. Between the three of us, we were able to do everything from the writing to the fighting...and had several shows in our "repetoire". It was fun while it lasted (about five years), but two of us went our separate ways in the real world.
We never partied like at SCA events, but we did have our fun. The few we actually camped out at, yeah, there were some incidents, and they did involve belly dancing...it sucks getting old!
