This week I was suprised to find in my email inbox, not one, but
two desperate pleas for help. It seems that these poor unfortunates had been trying to find a way out of their respective dire situations but no matter where they looked no assistance could be found. They were both about to give up all hope of ever being rescued, but just as things seemed at their bleakest they stumbled by chance across one last shining beacon of hope, a bastion of goodness and truth in the cold unfeeling wastelands fo the internet.
My blog.
They both had a problem and it seemed I was the only one who could help them: they had aquired board games with missing instructions. I am never one to turn away from a fellow man in need of help, so me and my trusty scanner leapt to the rescue.
First I had to scan the rules of Lost Valley of the Dinosaurs for a family in New Zealand:
Are you putting lava in the pteranodon's nest? THINK AGAIN.
Then I had to scan the instructions for Ali-Ba-Ba's bucking camel from someone who worked in a school and wanted to use it to scare children - how could I turn my back on such a noble cause?
I hope those children were terrified.
If anyone needs any more help I also own Escape from Atlantis and Ghost Castle. That's the one with that scary glow-in-the-dark skull that drops down the chimney. Brr.
