Don't worry about it. Most people in this thread are just messing with you.

According to the internet, at least. :-)

Not again...

You write like someone I know from another forum.

I DO have an animal costume, but no foam sword unfortunately :(

I must plus rep this.

@OP The Jan 3rd date is the end of the holiday sale.

you can borrow mine

It just dawned to me that we all look pretty stupid if GOG suddenly closes on Jan 3d.

Hm, and I only have inflatable plastic sword, but no animal costume. :-(

Forgot about those foam swords, Nerf I think.

Used to be very aggressive with them, adversary (wife/kids) turn a bit to avoid aggressiveness, pop, broadside right across the ass! Good days.

OP, don't let it get you down, welcome, and post in the gifting thread; I'm sure you'll find good people here.

I remember taking the foam off those swords, worked much better that way I felt

I kind of did the same thing when they (sons) got older.

Slap boxing time, where you teach through continual motion and confusion. Gauge reaction tendencies/time, then show weaknesses.

Never popped them hard/stinging, but enough to where they would react, and thus open up other vulnerabilities.

Was all in good fun, and just wanted them to be aware of things they might encounter.

I left the foam in the Nerf things though, as it made a nice crack/thud sound, especially across my ex's posterior :-)

Then again, if GOG gets bought by MS...

If GOG ever closes I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!
