    Confessions of a LEGO Maniac —Tom Boucher

        Re: Confessions of a LEGO Maniac —Nathan McDowell
     (...) Heck ya, I do that all the time. I'm 27 and I catch myself doing that too, having the minifigs carry on silly conversations and the like. I'm not really ashamed of it, but I can see how 'grown ups' would think that as a little odd. I have a (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)

      You're only as crazy as the rest of us. Yes, many people may believe you to have some level of clinical insanity You haven't played until you've cried when a minifig breaks his legs or permanently loses his hand or the like.
