Brad:

You haven't asked for suggestions but I think a REALLY obvious suggestion
would be the Spamcake Diner as the next in line for this MOC series.
Frankly, I'd be surprised and disappointed if it weren't already in the works...

Besides being a treasure for food printed tiles, it could be enhanced with
other food items like chicken, suasages, apples, loaves of bread, cherries,
popsicles, etc. It should also come with a t-shirt iron-on and a full-sized
pretend menu. I think this was originally designed for a train layout, but
it could easily be thought of as a town item.  It's just very funny and has
a great community spirit behind it.

It's kind of an inside joke, don't you think?  Not many are privy to the
etiology of the term "spamcake"  But as for T-shirts.....;-)

Perhaps someone could enlighten the unenlightened.

Signed,
One of the unenlightened

Fer goshsakes, use the "Lugnet Search" and you'll get plenty of Spamcake.

Well dagnabbit I will.  :)

A search returns about 1100 entries on LUGNET newsgroups.  For those not yet
in the know, but who don't have time to scan all 1100, I think this looks
like the thing they're talking about:

Great model.

Even if LEGO didn't put out this exact set, I think an old-style diner would
be a great addition to any Town.

Awright!

Here's another one (I don't pretend to know them all)

First test of the Spamcake drive in a Spiffcraft:

Then there is Gungan Spamcake:

That one was kind of gross.
