Here's my nightmare, and it's true - it happened about 2 years ago.
I'd been reading RTL for a few months, and the SHELL bit comes up. I recall that
I gave my kids my old LEGO. I dig around, come up with a white 2x4 with SHELL
on it and a red 2x4 with the Shell logo. Then I find the old gas station plates
with the flip-up doors, except the doors got broken when I was a kid, and the
clear bricks are worn and scratched.
Then I remember that I had the 6-stud blue transport truck and the flatbed
with the crane, except the tracks are broken, and the steering mechanism is broken
too.
Then I put it all back in the kids LEGO boxes so they can play with it, and I go to
my office happy again.
Cheers,
