Coup De Tat

I've just spent a busy few days on the annual audit/purge of Lucas's 'play' box. It's never an easy task. The recently-binned items must be watched carefully lest a furtive paw tries to rescue them.

The contents included:

Pool Table (1)
Roulette Wheel (1)
Dartboard (1)
Darts (6)
(Hmm, all present and correct....for a change)
Chessboard (1)
Basketball net (1)
Golf bag and clubs (1)

So far so good. But then things took a left-hand turn onto the entrance ramp for Highway Weird:

Handcuffs (2)
Empty Southern Comfort Bottles (2)
Sets of bows and arrows (2)
Lightsabres - bear sized - 3
Lightsabres - full-sized - 3
(at least it would be a fair fight)
Vampire Wig and Fangs (1)

By this point Lucas was engaging in extreme sulking and it seemed prudent to stop there. He'd kidnapped the TV remote as a bargainning chip and I wanted to watch ER (I think his mood had something to do with the confiscation of his night-vision goggles and the sniper rifle).

NYPD Blue is on soon - I may have to trade the googles.
