Big Blue

So my boss gave me a remote-controlled car for Christmas. I've never had one before and I can understand the enthusiasm for these things. They are pretty fun. Especially when you plot ways to scare unsuspecting coworkers. Big Blue came from China because apparently Oprah Winfrey caused housewives the country over to call for an end to war toys. My boss does not like Oprah for this. I was reminded not to lick it.

Here are the instructions for putting Big Blue together and the box it came in. It is the 2nd in the Thunder series apparently (but, according to the consumer information section of the instructions, still should not be played with while it is actually thundering...):



The other side was in English but that did not make it any easier to understand. For example, here's the first instruction for putting the batteries inside Big Blue and the remote controller:

"1. Loosen the screw by withershins direction and by phillips screwdriver, open the battery cover should according to the arrowhead 2 direction, then remove the battery cover should according to the arrowhead 3 direction. (Diagram 2)"


So awesome. I totally feel like one of the gang.

And just to prove that I have completely regressed back to childhood, here's a photo of what I did Sunday:
