ghey = totally wicked.
You're a lincoln log.

Best toy ever in existence.

I still have all my old lego. My Mom still buys me the odd miniset for x-mas because she knows it makes me so happy.

<--30

The only thing I don't dig are the new sets where everything is put together for you ahead of time.. It's cheating.

Some are cool but I agree they take all the fun out of creating your own stuff. it no longer requires as much imagination.

I loved Legos AND Lincoln Logs -- they're great for creating cool stuff to amaze your siblings with.

They're hard to chew and somewhat lacking in taste. I like the red ones best.

That's the problem. Within 10 minutes the set was all over the whole house. always.

Best thing I ever built with Legos was an "L". Maybe it was my personalization for "Lincoln Log"?

Ironically, I didn't see this thread when I mentioned Mindstorms in another thread.

Oh, and this:

to me, the plural of Lego is 'Lego', not 'Legos'; it frustrates me when it is used otherwise.

The Lego Group's name has become so synonymous with its flagship toy that many use the words "Lego" (collectively) or "Legos" to refer to the bricks themselves, and even to any plastic bricks resembling Lego bricks, although the Lego Group discourages this as dilution of their trademark. Lego catalogues in the 1970s and 1980s contained a note that read:
The word LEGO® 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 bricks 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! Susan Williams, Consumer Services.
"Lego" is officially written in all uppercase letters. The company asserts that to protect its brand name, the word Lego must always be used as an adjective, as in "LEGO set," "LEGO products," "LEGO universe," and so forth. Nevertheless, such corporate admonitions are frequently ignored as corporate intervention in the use of language, and the word lego is commonly used not only as a noun to refer to Lego bricks but also as a generic term referring to any kind of interlocking toy brick.
