Hey Brendan, Awesomeness! Love - I really like the Oval Office, with the flag, the first family, that kalashnikov, etc. Was that curtain design inspired by Shawn Sullivan? And then LOL - you don't get a lot of Hitler MOCs. On the Klan, I think it (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Great! I miss some things from the old "The Teachings of Jesus" story, though, but I guess they will reappear soon in a new form. For instance, I think I remember that there was a depiction of the passage "If a man asks for your coat, then give it (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

(...) Thanks! (...) I'm somewhat satisfied with how the Oval Office turned out. It's recognizeable, which is the main thing. The real one has white-paned windows, not red, but as someone once said, "You go to build with the army of bricks you have, (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Just one small suggestion: Change the word balloon text in (URL) frame> to read, "Yeeeaaah...If you could go ahead and come in on the sabbath, that would be greeeaaat."

(...) I fear that some of these scenes, such as the depictions of Bush in "forgiveness" are too contemporaneous and won't stand the test of time (as no doubt the Office Space scene will). Also, was Bush's utterance of "comdemn" intentional? If so, (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

--SNIP== (...) Not quite true. You could fit two minifigs in a car very slightly smaller than six wide (big maybe 5.5 wide, more easy 5.8 wide) but for all practical purposes six wide is the smallest. Tim (18 years ago, 20-Jul-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)
