Ahh that familiar pain of stepping on a lost lego, in a darkened hallway in your socks. She wasn't in her socks was she ?

I'm sorry they took away your wheel pieces :-/

I count myself lucky when I am at least wearing socks whilst stepping on legos. And Matchbox cars.
OH! and pieces of pretzels.
Erector set screws,
the Green Goblin's pumpkin bombs...

I hope they're not real screws, as in "lacerations and a tetanus shot" screws...

^Real screws, but tiny, and no rust. I'm up to date anyway. Lots of barbed wire around here.

Hooray!

My lil bro created houses, mansions and castles and stuff with old school "block" legos as a kid...really good at it. He's a pretty successful architect now.

She was.

I can remember it vividly - it was the early morning, and she was stepping outside of her apartment to grab the newspaper. My lego vehicle swerved close to the door and came to a halt, and the next thing I heard was a *CRACK* and a shriek.
