Um, because he tried saying it with his toes and it didn't work out? I used
to try typing with my toes and it made a big mess. My big toe was too big to
work the backspace key right.

Because everyone knows that we are all going to be abducted by aliens in
2002 which will put a crimp in shuttle operations. Among other things. Have
you ever been abducted by an alien? I have. It's kind of different. They
have these big ships and they come up and go whoosh and then they dissect
you. I didn't like the dissection part.

But, but... in space, no one can hear you scream! Sigourny Weaver said so.
Don't you think she'd make a great Lego builder? Anyway, I saw it in some
movie about monsters and, um, aliens. on my RCA television set, too! RCA
comes after JVC in the alphabet so it must be better.
But I guess screaming isn't roaring so we're OK on that. Screaming, no,
roaring yes. Got it. Please read my next letter when I write it where I will
discuss whooshing and why you can hear that.

Ya but have you tried Game Boy Advance yet? it costs more so it must be
better. Someone from Lego told me they are developing virtual bricks that
you can use on your gameboy but only in the sunlight because the silly
engineers at nintendo didn't use active matrix. Just last week Gabe from
penny arcade was complaining about that. He's so funny, don't you think? I
wonder if he ever played with legos? He has a pacman on his shirt you know,
and pacmen are round, kind of like the, what do you call them, um, dots, on
the top of the bricks.

Defiantly (1) trimming loc.au from this post as I don't want to help them
gain on the pomies. Heck, maybe I should put loc.uk in??? What is with those
guys anyway, saying I'm funny? The very nerve.
1 - Hi Greg, I think this is your favorite typo, right?. What is it with
typos anyway? I think microsoft should invent something that automatically
corrects your speling when you make misteaks. maybe they could put little
red squiggly lines under your words kind of like this squiggle: ~~~~~~~ but
underneath. I think that would be a great idea and I am going to write bill
gates about it as soon as I get done putting my legos away.
