Childhood games in Natter.
Ple: I played with my model horses. There was a very elaborate society (each housing unit made up of one of the 12x12 squares of linoleum on my floor), complete with marriages, affairs, rich slumlords, and noble poverty. It was like an equine telenovela. The money was Tiddleywinks.
My friend and I used to stage Barbie executions. That was always fun.

kat perez: Good googly moogly! Peter is smokin' hot. Losing his memory and getting the crap knocked out of him has done that boy a world of good. Hello, shoulders!
Bev, a long time back, being very Supernatural
: because in my 'verse Wash is still flying Serenity
Hee. Toddson in Boxed Set:
You know, with all the handwaving on this board, we could almost skip the internet and go straight to semaphore.
tommyrot, contemplating complaints that sex toys are too loud:
I'm now imagining a sex toy with loud buzzers and sirens and a-oooh-gah horns and a synthesized voice proclaiming, "WARNING - GENITAL STIMULATION COMMENCING."
Interesting way to start your morning...
Ginger: Yay for VW's research orgasm!
JenK: I misread this the first time as "Yay for VW's reaching orgasm!"
And I blinked a few times in mild surprise. (Only mild surprise, because this *is* Bitches, after all.)
Laga: Didn't Mythbusters prove that the tin foil hats actually amplify radio transmissions?
Kat in Natter:
Huh. Tivo cut off the last scene in GA between George and Callie. Even my Tivo doesn't give a shit.
Strega in Natter:
I wish it was easier to tell when I'm judging things rationally. Like, if a buzzer went off or something, that would be helpful.
-t
On the one hand, I'd like a buzzer like that, for the knowing what was what.
On the other, hearing a buzzer at irregular intervals wouldn't really go a long way towards confirming my sanity.
Reason #6,973 why Fay is clearly the awesomest primary school teacher in the universe, from Bitches:
On a related, 'Gee, Fay is actually rather a witch', note, I have to say how very much I have enjoyed scooping up Daniel and his friend Naddy (who are, what, 4 years old?) twice now, after they hit people/were otherwise mean, and giving them forcible Time Out.
First time, it went down thus:
Me: Hi! (grabbing them both by the hand and holding on for grim death) Congratulations, you have Time Out. Do you know why you have Time Out?
Daniel: (wriggling to no avail)....?
Me: Why do you have Time Out, Daniel and Friend-of-Daniel? What's your name, incidentally?
Naddy: Naddy.
Me: Hi! Something tells me I'm going to be seeing more of you too, eh? So, why do you have Time Out today?
Daniel:.......we hit someone?
Me: (brutally cheerful) That's right! And we don't do things like that. It's not nice. So now you have to sit here with me, instead of playing.
Naddy: ....I want some water.
Me: Yes. Well, that's a pity, isn't it? Because I don't care.
Naddy: !!!!!!!.....but....I'm thirsty.
Me: Yes. See this? This is my not caring face.
Naddy: ....but...but I want to drink!
Me: Yes, I understand. But I don't care even a little bit. You were mean, and now you have Time Out, and I'm not going to let you drink. Don't worry, you'll survive.
Naddy....But...I'm thirsty!
Me: Yes. (Cheerful like Mary Poppins on a sugar high) Isn't is a pity you were punching other kids? 'Cause if you'd been playing nicely, you could just go and get yourself a drink any time you wanted! But now you're stuck here with me, watching other kids have fun and feeling all thirsty. There's a lesson there somewhere, boys.
Naddy: !!!!!!!!!!
Second time was much the same. And I thoroughly enjoyed it, I have to say - particularly the look of incredulity when the trump card of 'I'm Thirsty' failed all over again.
