Anybody else suffering from SARS?
No, not that kind. I'm talking about Some Assembly Required Syndrome. I thought that up while assembling a 'My Little Pony' castle playset tonight. Oh wait, I mean this morning.
It was my first Christmas assembling gifts for a kid *sniff*
Of course, if it had been Transformers or G.I.Joe or something, I wouldn't have needed the frickin poorly-drawn, poorly-worded, un-step-numbered instructions.

Still smiling!
There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
your hand or head stuck in something

Amateurs all of YA!!! Just remember these things:
In the immortal words of my Dad "If all else fails read the directions."
When you have to inflate a gift...keep a shop vac handy and reverse the air flow from suck to blow.
To paraphrase NooNoo-"Never appoach an unassembled computer desk thinking this will only take a little while." Be prepared with tools that the instructions usually do not mention. A 5 pound mauling hammer , drill and clamps come to mind.
If it doesn't work box it back up and regift it next year!
Ah no kids is a plus, but jump in there to help with the niece, nephew, cousin or friends toils and tribulations. It will give you a gnu perspective!
I only post using 100% recycled electrons!!!
Stay on the bomb run, boys. I'm going to get them doors open if it hair lips everybody on Bear Creek.

G/F's kids got Transformer Armada and I needed the instructions. These things have a damn skill level! 3 of 4...Can't imagine what a 4 is. When I was a kid transformeres were easy

One year I sat up with my sister to put together 2 of the larger Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles play sets for her son way back when. 5 plus hours later we were done. In the words of my father, "Who ever was in charge of designing these directions should be taken out into the street and shot."
