you guys are funny.

It seems like it would open up to a whole lot of questions and snarls and issues and legal troubles, and, well… cell-phone robbery, doesn’t it?

When I was a little girl my parents would often drive to Denmark to take us to Legoland. We would stay with a friend of my father’s who had a pottery shop on the ground level of his home and a huge dog (Great Dane?). He would make me clay dolls, but they always had blonde hair and wore viking hats. My childhood memories seem rather cliche?

No, somehow there haven’t been any “driving to Denmark” cliches in my life, Dawn. Where are you from, anyhoo?

From the same edition of the Copenhagen Post:

Toy maker Lego has lost a year-long court battle in a Netherlands district court against a Canadian company’s production of what Lego believes are identical building blocks, reported Børsen financial newspaper Wednesday.

The Canadian company, Mega Brands, has been given the okay to sell two editions of its ‘Mega Blocks’, despite their similarity to the original Lego bricks. This latest decision supported that made by a Dutch municipal court two years ago.

I was born in Germany. My Dad was in the Army. I moved to Texas when I was 8 and California when I was 18. Now I live in Arizona, but I would give anything to live on either coast.

Ah. I didn’t think you sounded like a filthy ferriner.

I know people who say Arizona would be their top pick for best place in the US. Me, I thought the Southwest was neat, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Give me forests.

You must have that ocean thing in your blood.

Plenty of forests in Arizona. A drive up the Mogollon Rim can take you from the desert to a snowy winterland in about an hour.

But, who am I to say? I live in Detroit. Anyplace would seem awesome to me.

There’s an amazing amount of forested land in Rhode Island, believe it or not. More than you’d think for state with such high population density. They are chunked up into smaller “conservation areas” though. There are very few pieces of land so large you can hike out of earshot of a major highway.

On the one hand, that’s sad. On the other, it has saved my worthless, no-sense-of-direction butt more than once.

I can see why John Denver didn’t name it Mogollon Rim High.

Yep, we actually live about 3 miles from the “Rim” – which is a basically a big drop-off that is about 100 miles long. The end result – Beautiful green trees and a mild climate year round with skiing 45 minutes away and the desert just a few hours drive. If you are interested, I am sure I have some land I can sell you as long as you don’t want to look at it first. Umm… What was this topic about in the first place? Oh right – Ack! pls give weesl all my $ & debt.

We should take turns being McGoo. I’m afraid these threads will turn into a ghost-town without the gratuitous use of the term ‘asshat’ from time to time.

I don’t want to be McGoo! He smells like camphor and cedar shavings!

Impersonating a McGoo, I believe, is a federal offense, and still carries the death penalty is some states.

Besides, as Weasel observes, who wants to smell like camphor and cedar shavings?

I’m sure there’s worse things to smell like.

As host with the delicate olfactory, Weasel’s exempt, but you should totally step-up and wear the McGoo britches for a day, jw.

Where’s Lokki and EW? They’re still newbies, right? They pretty much hafta be hazed, anyway.

I agree, although I’m as much a newbie as they are, I’ll bet. I only discovered the Wonderful World of Weasel (for which I assume Al Gore stole credit) a month or so ago. Even if the common-taters weren’t so dang funny, I’d still visit to get my daily dose of Weasel edjamacation.

Toadying. Is that the next step on the minion career path?

After that, what? Sychophant? Groupie? Lackey? Or is it just Minion First Class, Minion Second Class, etc.? Are there tests to take for advancement, or is it just time in grade? Does experience count?

Ambitious minions want to know.

Hey, Gnus, you left out lickspittle. And dog’s-body.
