Pan fried semon Lego? :eek: **Angua** while I feel your pain about pink Lego, I have to say I HATE Lego! I have a 13 yr old who hasn’t outgrown it yet (yes he is a bit on the geek side). Lego has an insidious way of getting EVERYWHERE. The child never builds things with Lego in my bedroom, but everytime I vaccum there it is. The stuff breeds I’m sure of it. Legos company slogan should be “Hours of fun and frustration for the whole family” Seriously Lego is good stuff but pink is wrong. ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > I saw an episode of While You Were Out (or a similar home-improving show on TLC) where a woman had an entirely unhealthy Lego obsession. She had millions of Lego pieces organized by color and shape in huge crates in her basement. In the living room, tables, clocks, vases, picture frames (and _pictures_!!), footstools, almost everything was made of Lego. She cried as they took it apart. If I had created my own beautiful Lego World and someone took it apart I would stab them with a knife made of Legos. ---

I have a lego phone, which works. (It’s actually that low-life Lego imitation made by Tyco, but it’s a phone, and it works!) It’s the last thing my sister gave to me before she died, so I keep it around. I have all my Legos. When I turned sixteen, I boxed them up and gave them to my cousin. When _he_ turned sixteen, he boxed them up and gave them back to me. At times, I’ve had Legos that were older than my roommates. These Legos had rounded corners from decades of wear. I have MLcad and LeoCad software that lets me design Lego models on my computer, then print out setp-by-step instructions for building the models. > [@calm kiwi](#): > > Lego has an insidious way of getting EVERYWHERE. I second this. Everywhere I’ve lived, Legos have crept into corners and hidden, to be found later. Originally when I was a kid, we blamed the dog, who would steal them and chew them under the couch. But the process continues today, thirty years later, long after the dog passed away, and I grew up and moved out and made a career for myself in the Big City. I think there may be Lego Gnomes about. I have a cap that says “rec.toys.lego”. 🙂 > [@Maus Magill](#): > > > [@Chimpy](#): > > > > I’m barely out of my lego using years … > > This sentance makes no sense to me. I understand all the words, but in this particular order… \ Yes, I’m having trouble understanding that as well. Must be line noise. ---
