pick-up-stix

i kinda miss that game of skill, patience and a steady hand. i remember (eons ago) asking my parents me to get a pack of those schmancy plastic ones from the toy store. they came back the next day with a pack of satay sticks and declared that they were "just as fun". although i wouldn't admit it, they were right though, countless hours of childish delight... lighting them up and 'branding' the hundreds of ants crawling about the house.
