Important Holiday Gift Information
Edited on Sat Dec-24-05 02:04 PM by Dr Batsen D Belfry
In case anyone needs PROOF Bob Vila and Norm Abrams are in NO WAY related to me, just get my kids some type of gift that involves some basic form of construction...

My neighbors got the kids a "bug barn" and a "locker". Both THEORETICALLY involve only the use of a hammer, Phillips head screwdriver, and thumbs (for thumbtacks, not the hammer)

One Dremel, a ton of bent nails, a sore thumb, and several newly learned words later, the kids have something that somewhat resembles the pictures on the box.

Happy Chanukah
Merry Christmas
Happy Kwanzaa
Happy New Year
Harry Festivus

2. It just reinforces my theory of homeownership
I tell my wife this all the time:

If it involves risk of flood, electrocution, or is publicly viewable, hire a contractor.

The mere mention of my name and tools of any kind in the same sentence is just begging for an ER visit.
