(...) People seem to think I am out of my mind when they see my Lego room. When I was building the room the neighbors would ask "What are you building, another bedroom?" I would say, "no, a Lego room." At that point I got strange looks and they (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.general)

Hi all, One issue which I see brought up on LUGNET quite frequently (mostly but not exclusively in relation to trains) is the perception of AFOLs/ALEs by the 'wider' community (where wider has various meanings). So since I'm a curious fellow I'd (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.general)

Hi All! I'm planning a big brick event for next weekend[1]. As part of it, I'd like to run some LEGO stop motion movies on a TV there. I need to figure out a selection of "little kid friendly" films. i.e. stuff that won't freak out parents of a (...) (17 years ago, 14-Oct-07, to lugnet.animation)
