Me and my brothers once spent a summer (and all our money) constructing an almost perfect life size replica of my youngest brother (he was little at the time thankfully).

In a fit of rage, it was pushed down the stairs and it was not glued. It smashed into six pieces: head, arms, legs and torso. In the stupid way young teenagers do, I told my brother this is what would happen to him if he fell down the stairs, and it took him about a month before he would navigate the stairs without someone carrying him down.

Heartwarming story, Judy.

Horrifying AND hilarious. I'm not sure if I want to take away or give a tiny can.

I have a little White-Stripes lego man that I made in 9th grade. He is cool, and has fallen several times... I would say that his shape has probably changed some over the years.

I used to have a big Lego train set from the early 70s that my folks bought me when we were living in Japan. That would be pretty cool to have now.

I have a cardboard box full of Legos, the product of countless accumulated basic sets. My wife tried to take it to school one day for her students to play with... I refused.

You can custom order specific Legos now. If that had been available when I was younger, I could've made something of my life.

Cardboard boxes of Legos are associated with the strong odour of cat pee in my world.  I can't fathom why the feline mind would find that environment relaxing, but there you go.

I also used to build environments for my mice out of Lego.  On further reflection, that might explain the cats' interest in them.

Ahhh, Legos. Judy, that story is hilarious. It's sad what kids believe, and even sadder what other kids will tell them.

I don't have any rodent/Legos stories. However, I just realized that Lennybruce knows what "you're gonna get CUDDLED!" means, because he runs away whenever I angle in to scoop him up for cuddles. I can't pick up Milan because he has a bad back, so Lenny has to  pay most of the kittyrent.

Sorry, cat tangent. I do that a lot. Anyway, LEGOS!

That happened to me as well.  I don't know why, but at least three of our four cats peed in my legos at some point during my childhood.  The ones we had later never did.

I still have those Legos.  AND if I want to I can go buy legos and pay for them by the pound at Legoland.  Unfortunately I live in an apartment and I no longer have a spare dining room table to build on.  It's a shame -- I have epic plans.  Someday I will dig up the pictures of my last installation that got dismantled in college.

Thank you.  I was thinking of Phillipe when I wrote that.
