    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.

    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."
