    If it weren't for women, I'd consider this porn.


    Oh who am I kidding? I already do!


    And forget V12s; I say go straight for a W16 (like Bugatti) or an H16 (like BRM).

    Another day, another opportunity to complain about people saying "Legos". It's Lego. Or Lego Bricks. Or Some Lego.


    Lego is the concept.


    I'm off to listen to some musics and watch some TVs.

    I'll only be impressed when they build a supercharged inline-eight out of Lincoln logs.


    I do like the sound of that I3 though.

    The best I ever did was make a turbine out of the treaded wheels.


    That and a windmill out of Tinkertoys.


    I just cut the crap out of myself with Erector Set. #$@**$^@# Erector Set.


    Hokay, payday's tomorrow - looks like it's time to buy me some plastic goodies! I can wrap it up and give it to my younger boy - he's a gearhead.


    No, wait - then I won't get to play with it.

    @Elhigh: When I was a kid, my folks bought me a Vertibird from Mattel. [en.wikipedia.org]


    My mother was fearful that Dad and all their drunken New Year's Eve revelers would trash my favorite Christmas gift. It survived...
