3. Alex - is that you?

My son, born in the 'seventies, has long been a proponent of the idea that if it can't be fixed with Lego - it simply can't be fixed.

What they need is one yellow corner brick - anyone have one handy?

[ashling]

5. No, but I used to get Lego's

for my daughter at Christmas so I could build things with them ... it was always a bummer when she hoarded the yellow bricks.
:rofl:

6. Thing is ...

... finding that yellow corner brick was always easily done.

All you had to do was walk through the house in the dead of night - and there it would be, lodged in your instep as you screamed WTF is THAT?

an easy bake oven and vaporize all the oil and gas as it comes out of the pipe
