using powers for good, not evil
I'd just like to say that Humungous Sex Toy Battle (or whatever it got named in the end) was largely an effort to keep sleepy drivers awake on the long drives to and from conventions. Twelve hours to and from Origins, seventeen hours to and from GenCon, mostly at night, with either the kids asleep in the back, or staying at home with grandparents... Gets to be pretty boring.
I long ago learned a trick from a fellow gamer wife about how to keep a driver awake- engage them in conversation. If said driver is a gamer, ask them to explain their favourite game. Pretend ignorance and ask them to explain in great detail particular rules or mechanics.
And yes, hey Monte, hey Sue, howsabout a critter, eh?
