Now, those of you that have never:
- blown up anything up with a firecracker
Nope, never had access to fireworks as a kid (except for sparklers).

- pulled the arms off your sisters dolls (or defaced it in any other way)
Didn't have a sister.

- pulled the wheels off your brothers trucks (or defaced it in any other way)
Didn't have a brother.

- pulled your cat by the tail
My cat liked it.  (Really!)

- pulled your dog by the tail
No dog.

- basically destroyed one of your toys experimenting with tools (toy or adult)
Nope.

- set any plastic toy on fire to see how it would burn
Nope.

- painted one of your toys
Just those meant to be painted (models).

..feel free to be repulsed.

OK.

I've seen infinitely worse garbage at garage sales.  Beheaded dolls, blown-up
trucks, stuffed animals with fingernail polish, rusty Erector sets, battery
operated toys corroded by battery leakage, etc.

Yes, but LEGO is sacred!!

Bill has just passed Ed's Childhood Purity Test.
