Homeschool the kid to make sure he has no real life friends "because mommy, daddy and the internets are enough"
Sample classes: Viking Mythology, C++, finding meaning in the complete works of R.A. Salvatore, Sewing (for Cosplay gear only), Statistics using the D20 ruleset how many times will you miss your saving throw and will it effect the mean average? Cool: Play Electric Guitar Geek: Only teach your kid Final Fantasy themes. 15 minutes of recess: roleplay your LARP character and conquer the backyard versus your father in full foam battle gear vegan lunch 2 hours of Spelling Bee practice then end on The Science of Star Wars that's one way to do it |

I was telling my 3-yr-old about DNA, and showing him how he's half-daddy and half-mommy by drawing some diagrams on his Doodleboard.
So now I'm hearing this is wrong? |

I have the movie Krull downloaded on Shareaza with the poster above me's nic. Is it worth watching? I never saw it as a kid and it bothered me that I
didn't. That blade thing was cool. Worth watching or no?

FYI - I played Football in high School as well as track and other sports. I have a Math Degree and consider myself to be able to live in both worlds.
Also, I left industry a few years ago and became a teacher. About 12 of the 20 math teachers coach a sport. You Narrow Minded Asshats. |

Consciously raising a "wimpy" geek, is abusive in my opinion, he needs to learn how to throw a punch when one is deserved, and know when it is
inappropriate to punch. That is what modern pansy boys need.

So if I throw some karate lessons in there, it's all good?

karate is pansy, only in Karate Kid movies does a twerp training for competitions based on points win in street fights.
Boxing is full contact. Any idiot can buy some cheap DVDs showing them how to throw a good punch, but teaching a kid to take a punch is the hard part. Telling my sons to man up is my future. Showing them how is going to be the tough part. |

Shag, it's not like there won't be a coach or two to show him how to throw a ball, should he have an interest.

How can a fantasy flick be dated? It happens in a fictional world. Is Narnia dated? No. It was written 50 years ago and they are making movies from it TODAY.
Bernie, you disappoint me.
Now, if it sucks, that's another story. |

Krull sucks. If you want some cheeseball shit, you might as well stick with Zardoz. You can't go wrong with Sean Connery in a jock strap and suspenders.

Did Krull have Kevin Sorbo in it?

I think he was in Kull the Conqueror.
eta: in retrospect, I wish I hadn't been able to answer that so quickly. |
