No Secret Santa for me, but I did fulfill a wish-list request from the Christamas tree decorated with gift requests from local schoolchildren.
Apparently, I've granted the wish of a 6-1/2 year old little girl who wanted the Shrek edition of the game of Operation! this year. Brought back memories of my own childhood, as I was about 6 or 7 when I got an Operation! game of my own...
...let me explain something: a child's developing senses of concentration and coordination are a delciate thing. So, what kind of pyscho invented a game that demands intense focus and careful concentrationâ then punishes your failings of said demands by emitting this sudden, startlingly loud buzz!?
"Careful... careful...steadddyyyyyyyyâ AHHHHHHH!"
My experiences with that game lasted all of 10 minutes, and I never touched it again. To this day, my hand-ey coordination is sub-par due to the childhood trauma this game brought me.
It's always nice to further the cycle and share my childhood expeiences with a younger generation. ;)

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
