But no armies of spear or sword-wielding rabbits for me, I guess. Now *that*

Well, we always thought that the yellow Classic Space guys were pretty tough,
going out into space with nothing but a helmet, some air tanks, and a tattoo
of the LEGO Space Force symbol on their chest...
By the way, the conveyance that Queen Cleo uses to get around is called a palanquin.
From www.m-w.com:
Main Entry: pa·lan·quin
Pronunciation: "pa-l&n-'kEn, -'kwin, -'kin, 'pa-l&n-"; p&-'la[ng]-kw&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Portuguese palanquim, from Malay or Javanese pelangki, of
Indo-Aryan
origin; akin to Bengali pAlanka bed
Date: 1588
: a conveyance formerly used especially in eastern Asia usually for one person
that consists of an enclosed litter borne on the shoulders of men by means
of poles
Hope that helps!

I suggest, get a 5824 or two. As the db entry may show you, it's a great set
(with fairy exception), it'll get you some gems, rabbit, rare colors, two
trans orange 1x1 rounds and much more!
(I sound like a commercial. Ugh.)

Hey, Jeff and Eric, I've got those two rabbits open to trade if you want. LMK.

Wow! I expanded my vocabulary today. I built one of these things two days ago
and didn't know what it was called. Today, I'm reading old messages from a
month ago that I missed, and I find this posting. What an odd coincidence.
LUGNET isn't just entertaining, it's also educational!
Here's some photos of my palanquin:

I remember when yellow Classic Space guys first came out, my mom and I were at
the store and she saw them first and handed me a box. I said "But these guys
are *naked* Mom!" and put them back. *smirk*

As long as this thread is being revived, I might as well 'publish' an idea I'm
developing...

I decided to develop this and am currently working on my Sorceress' character
and connection to my story. (I'm looking for pink legs for this purpose as I
mentioned in .b-s-t)
Obviously features will include a pink magic wand and a staff with a pink
gem...
I'm debating with myself whether to give her some hair, a black wizard hat, or
to paint a hat pink. Hmmm... tough decision. Although I have experimented with
some minor customizations, I haven't let paint come near my lego yet. Not to
mention I don't feel totally comfortable customized the holy Brick <grin>.
It seems to me like, in a lot of cases, painting is the easy way out (unless
you do extremely out there things that simply can't be acheived without
modifying a piece) when other alternatives can be used (like mixing-and-
matching arms and legs from existing pieces).
Well, this is getting o-t... (or is it?)

Hey, I actually hit the 3000th post to .castle without even trying!
Cool!
Congratulations on reaching this! I really love this group and hope we keep
going at this rate, soon we'll catch up with Robotics, Trains and Star Wars!
(After all, the SW excitement will die off, it is reducing as we speak.
.trains is already weakening, and soon will even weaken even more since TLC
will probably stop producing trains. Robotics traffic is already slowing
down... But the classy and classic Castle theme will get stronger every day!)
-Shiri
p.s. this is on the humoristic note, but I'm willing to take this to .debate
if you want to ;)

Paint some hair pink. 8) (Or is that too anime?) I think a black wizard hat
would make her look a little odd, unless you were going to do black clothing
with pink highlights. Then again a pink hat might be a little much too...
I'd have to say, go for the hair...or possibly some other form of hat?

Come over to the dark side...let Craig show you the way...I painted my
Dragoons and it hasn't hurt me...I can still use 'normal' LEGO...>8)

I actually considered that for a point. Either that, or I'll paint some hair
white. (But then I'll need two versions, as she appears both in the present
and the past parts of my story...)

I can't think of any other that would fit, and definitely not in the current
colors available.

;-) Craig has definitely showed me the way, and encouraged me as well... but
I'm having my doubts... I don't see light in the end of that (dark) tunnel,
and that makes me wonder if I should even go there...
I'm in a metaphorical mood today, I guess... or maybe simply over-tired... :-)

Great thing, this LUGNET, isn't it.
While you're still sitting with your dictionary, try checking up the
spelling of the word
emperor. =)
BTW, thanks for pointing the word palanquin out for the rest of us
vocabularly
disabled. *grin*
