Stealing Legos for fun and profit?
Mad_Rain writes "Every nerd I know had (or still has) a fairly extensive Lego collection. But I don't think most would go so far as to steal $200,000 worth of Legos. When police arrived to carry away the evidence from his home, they needed a 20-foot-long truck. They found in the car of the accused a laptop computer that had a list of Target stores that he was planning to defraud along with the mapping software on how to get there."
Hey, the Mountain Dew on my desk in front of me says "Mountain Dew" right on the can. I guess I can't talk about drinking two Mountain Dews, can I?
... I don't have three plastics.
But you can't say Mountains Dew... um... any way.
Look I have a two plastic boxes and a plastic bag
I have three plastic objects. or a pile of plastic crap.
I have 1500 Lego Bricks, 100 Lego men and 20 lego horses.
What have I? I have a lot of lego.
One lego brick.
Two lego bricks.
"a lego" makes no sense. like a red, or a round.
"Pass me that red bit of lego."
"I need two more of those 2X3 bricks to finish my ninja maze."
"Chuck me half that pile of lego"
At this point I think that people are just using Legos to troll people, and dispite the fact that the word brings me almost physical pain*, I'm never going to bother correcting any persons about this online from now on.
It's just a huge waste of time. From now on I'm only going to correct people about this in person... I almost winch every time I read or hear legos.
*(unlike when people say Sheeps, Fishs or Euros)
