My housemate got us a christmas 'gift' this year, pictured above, which we busted out of the box last night and battled with.

Remote controlled tanks.

Before gameplay begins, it is strongly recommended that you secure the controller to your wrist, because once gameplay begins, you'll likely want to drop it. So, the point of the game is to move your tank around the course (our living room), hiding behind obstacles, and shooting your opponent. A successful strike on your opponent results in him receiving a hand numbing shock from his controller. (have you ever touched an electric fence at a farm?? that's almost what it feels like). First one to hit their opponent 5 times wins.

And finally, some political humour:

• George W. Bush drunk.
• Harper's position on Metrosexuality.
