Best. Toy. Ever.

I lament the arrival/evolution of the newer legos, what with all the specific, pre-made attachments and parts and whatnot. What made lego great was that a child was presented with a bunch of BLOCKS, from which his/her imagination went wild. Alas, today, it seems most everything is already done--they seem more like action figures than a clean slate, a blank canvas.

yo axed fo it, yo got it.

i did the pipeline in n.z. back in '96 twice, second time nekkid and backwards. back then, it was regarded as the tallest (so they said). was a total thrill. the ride to-from was damn near as thrilling! i'm glad the tallest listed in in the u.s.--i'll HAVE to hit that one this year!!! :)

i say, we oughtta annex both canada and mexico. thinkaboutit--the messicans afford us cheep labor, the canadians supply us with more oil than any other source (yes, more than saudi arabia, more than iraq, more than venesuela--CANADA is the u.s.'s main oil supplier), and that allows the u.s. to remain a consumer society, with nothing really useful to provied the rest of the world.
