Knowing of the existence of this Web site is dangerous. It might have the completely negative effect of legitimating my truly favorite useless hobby, as anyone who knows me from way back can attest.

Ohh, dude!

On a related note, you are familiar with the Brick Testament, yes? They've even published some *books* of them now.

Yes, I saw that. It is incredibly goofy. But not as goofy as the entire world I created around Legos, going from the buildings to entire cities and civilizations. Now you know why I've never won the Nobel Prize.

Memory Fabrication

Dewd, you just outed yourself.

I distinctly recall a memory I just now made up in my head of me all cool in High School and you with taped bridged glasses and a pocket protector.

I say, "Dood, you'd get all the chicks, just keep the Lego stuff on the down-low."

And now, you've outed yourself.

Although I will admit that your Lego data was endlessly facinating even for me. Yes, in my memory now I was getting help with my homework in exchange for defending you from bullies.

The way you put it at the time was something like, "this is really neat, and I get into it, and then suddenly it says 'Lego' on it and I can't take it seriously anymore."

It was pretty damn fascinating, though. I had voting data for individual precincts. I had detailed bus and train schedules. I like to think of the aliens finding it ten thousand years from now and wondering what the heck it was.
