I checked out the link -- it *mutter mutter* interesting *mutter mutter* wouldn't have posted *mutter mutter*. I have work to do. So long.

We're Sorry...

The word LEGO(R) is a brand name, and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our products as "LEGO bricks or toys" and not "LEGOS." By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud, and that stands for quality the world over.

Thank you!


That being said, they're fucking idiots for being so anal about it. I don't know anyone when I was growing up (or an adult) that ever said "Hey, wanna play with LEGO?" much less "LEGO bricks or toys".

It was always "Dude. Time for Legos. Bust out the Legos. I'm gonna make me a killer space ship with some Legos."

Looking back, I have no idea how my parents afforded to get me and my brother so many Legos. Ahem. LEGO. Bricks. Damn, that just trips off the tongue. Anyway. Those things are expensive. But I guess they must have figured if they kept investing in Legos for us, not only would it feed our brains but that they just have insane replay value.

Then again, Legos were like crack for kids like me and my brother. I can imagine Dad saving up for the giant box, knowing with easy certainty our little heads were just going to positively explode with glee on Christmas morning. Talk about an easy target.


Also: If you love your LEGO, do not use them to make real-life rocket cars using Estes D and F class motors. You'll spend the rest of the day picking them up off the tarmac, and some of them will be broken or lost.

Also, the local RC aircraft club - populated entirely by grumpy old men - will be very, very annoyed that you're launching surface to air missles in the form of unguided rocket motor casings at their aircraft.

That's kinda funny loquacious. We always say Lego and not Legos.

But you say math *cringe* and we say maths.

It all balances out.

I have a friend who used to build things out of legos for a living. He worked for the Lego corporation or whatever.

And he called them legos.

Wow, that's starting to not make sense. Lego lego lego lego lego.

Maybe they should rebuild New Orleans out of Legos®.

And repopulate it with Weebles®.

Same here peacay. It sounds very weird to me to hear people call them legos.
