[0]randomErr writes "[1]Canada.com has an article about Frank Robinson,
an man who is [2]into Lego WAY more than the average builder. Frank said
"I still get Lego for my birthday and at Christmas, too. So do my kids."
At last count the Robinson family's Lego inventory was nearing 100,000
pieces, a majority of which were tallied and itemized by type and colour
on a computer spreadsheet." No Lego story would be complete without a
link to something large and useless, say, a [3]Lego harpsichord. Okay, it
plays, so it's not actually useless. But the [4]Lego Star Destroyer is.

Legos are the best building toys ever crafted... though they do need to lower the prices a bit on those things!!!

I have collections. If you knew about them you'd think I bordered on psychotic obsession. So to take the psycho image off me, let me introduce a real person:

Ben Bruns.

A triplet. Obsessed by the color blue. Has blue hoodie, blue backpack, blue boxers, blue room, blue shoes (and shoelaces) writes with blue pen, has a fetish of the dog from blue's clues. Only thing blue he doesn't have is socks. I'm going to get him blue socks for christmas.

[Power Penguin]

I know him! Doesn't he drink outta the toilet?
