Any of you have any suggestions?

My little brother has no sense of adventure.

Me: Let's built a bonfire, drink mead, and read Sagas of Icelanders!
Danny: I don't like mead. Let's order pizza and watch anime.
Me: I'm not giving you any money for pizza and anime.
Danny: *gets money from parents for dinner, since they are going out*
Me: Let's go to the Tivoli and see Maria Full of Grace. Or to the Cinemark on the Plaza to see Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut.
Danny: I can't drive anywhere downtown without getting lost. We could go see I, Robot or Hero.
Me: No. You have already seen both of those movies, and I am not paying full price for any ticket to any movie unless it is going to be, like, the best movie ever. Let's set up the badminton net.
Danny: It's getting dark.
Me: So attach a small flashlight or something to the birdie and play badminton in the dark.
Danny: I don't think that would work.
Me: It so totally would.
Danny: *starts setting off fireworks*
Me: At least everything I suggested was legal.

Guess he wouldn't fancy a shag, then :)

God, I would have joined you within a second, no matter if you had wanted to do the bonfire thing, watch Donnie Darko or play Badminton in the dark.
Hmm, I did that once, Sebastian, a good friend of mine, and I put this special paint on the birdie so it glowed in the dark, it was terrific.

I am very entertained by you. You are now on my friends list. :)

Heh, I'm quite capable of supplying large quantities of all of those.

But... but fireworks are so Freudian! The nervousness of lighting the fuse; the tension - will something happen, or won't it?; and then the shell shooting up into the sky and bursting in sparkly lights... or the disappointment of it going out or falling over :(

danny is a moron

next time slip him a date rape drug and when he wakes up he will find himself at the theatre with a very content(ed? it's too late for grammar) you. :)
