This evening, I get a phone call from my Dad on Skype. Living away from home at University, this isn't an uncommon occurrence, so I answer expecting the normal greetings and boring goings-on of my home.

Instead, I'm greeted by "Has your sister talked to you yet?"
Curiously, I answer no, and ask why.

It turns out that my idiot sister, being careless, left the back door open, so her dog managed to get inside and dine on the coloured plastic that makes up certain crucial parts of my video game setup.

All in all, he ruined 2 nunchuks for my Wii, a Gamecube controller, a TV remote, and a Guitar Hero World Tour cymbal. All up, something totalling to around AU$150 to replace.

The nunchuks are easy enough to replace, but the Gamecube controller and the GHWT cymbal are going to be real problems, seeing as the only place you're going to find them is eBay these days. Also, I've seen these go for as high as $50 to replace, so I'm not going to be happy when I get back.

So I ask a question. When I get back home at the end of the year, do I kill my sister slowly and painfully, or quick and painlessly?
