    @One Man Freak Show: They went twice. After the first time, they had to qualify as a documentary to get visas, so they tried (they _really_ tried!) to "serious it up" for the second trip.

    Heck, man. Half the fun of building something out Legos is knocking it to pieces, right?

    Look, all I'm saying is, regardless of whether or not I want this to happen...there needs to be video.

    @amandizzle: They're so wonderful in person. I haven't done the Green Grocer yet, but the Cafe Corner is beautiful, albeit sparsely furnished by comparison.

    I mean, just look at that sidewalk!

    *If you do want it, you need to act fast. Word is that both this and the Grocer are soon to be retired. At $140-150 a pop, that's bound to double once it's gone.

    That's Monday on the Metric calendar, which means we have at least a week under our Imperial calendar. I think if we put it on the Mayan calendar, we have until SMarch of 2014 to save it.

    @All_Thumbs - R.O.A.C.H.: Actually, it "ends" in the sense that our calendar ends at the end of the year. If you are going to be carving calendars in stone, would you carve the one that pertains to the time you are in, or the next one?

    This house completely negates the ability to be grounded and sent to your room for not cleaning up your legos.

    Also, how would one hang something on the wall? I'd hate to think of ruining a perfectly good 2x4 block by drilling a hole in it.
