2. Well, I don't screw with them anymore...
but I still have loads of old Lego creations from when I was eleven or so sitting atop my bookcases. :shrug:

11. I did attach a motor to one of them once a few years ago.
Sent it rolling across the kitchen floor and freaked out the cat. :rofl:

and if a Lego car ran into her today, she probably wouldn't bat a whisker. :eyes:

32. Aren't they? The guy's story is awesome, too.
He's from, I think, Singapore, and he started the company himself. It was independent, blew up crazy status, so Hasbro signed him for a product line.

14 points of articulation, customization out the wazoo - Stikfas RULE.

And I give them plenty of warning. I always get the "You are NOT going to do that" look, followed by a wild-eyed "revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Sleep well" look.

It's the most fun with an uninitiated victim. And I like to wait until they've already ruined their own wrapper, rendering them incapable of a counter-attack.

Heh heh heh.

30. Watching the Simpsons
I'm sorry, I'm an addict. I will faithfully even watch reruns again and again (excepting one or two episodes I don't like for various reasons). I will make sure that I try to catch every rerun as well as new episodes. And to think I didn't like the show when it first came out

And yes, I too sometimes like watching old Disney movies and sometimes even reading children's books which are more targeted for people much younger than me

33. I used to be like that, until I got help.
:D

Seriously though, I worked for several FOX stations over the years, so I've seen every episode up until about the 11th season about 50 times (that might be literally true).

Then the writers started sucking out loud in the 12th season, so I bailed.

I don't know if it's going to be the same as it was back in the early '90s, though.

about 60 cards are so...had to start watching my spending, but those cards are pretty cheap...I'm also into Magic the Gathering, and those packs are SPENDY!...:)

I have quite a few superman returns cards, that showed events that didn't happen in the movie, primarily him in his spaceship, and grey outfit...I hope when the dvd comes out they add the deleted scenes...does that happen often though? Do you ever notice, when you get movie cards, you see events/scenes in those cards, that weren't in the theatrical movie?

47. Alright, this one's really embarrassing
It's not extremely childish, just kind of... um, weird. But it's something I've done since I was a kid and I guess I just never kicked the habit. I like to come up with fake bands and make up histories for them; song titles and albums (and album covers), record labels, etc. And come up with complex stories about when certain band members came and went and who played what instrument on the different fake songs. And write in-depth record reviews for the non-existent tracks on the non-existent albums... Yeah, I guess I'm just a geek. (But I guess y'all already knew that!)

I'm embarassed to admit how many quotes I've memorized without even trying. Just off the top of my head, here's one...
And Yurtle the Turtle, that glorious he,
he is king of the mud, that is all he can see.
And the turtles, of course, all the turtles are free,
as Turtles, and maybe, all creatures should be!
:bounce:

And a pile of rocks, with just one word, unless...

God, if the Freepers see this, I'm going to die of embarassment. :blush:
