My wife and I loved your site. To me, the story has a comedic tone like the
Simpsons, and would be the type of show Homer Simpson would watch on his TV
set. It's a serious storyline, but the dialog and slightly whimsical nature
of the pictures make it very tongue in cheek. I like the intentional wierd
spelling (like Hindoo - which adds to the satirical nature of the story)
I really liked the statue (with the round belly), but our favorite was the
tires for the Russian-type hats. I also liked the nice use of the dk grey
hands for rifle parts - I'll be copying that one as soon as I figure out
which sets have dark grey hands (and after my wife let's me bring weapons
into our Lego town...hmmm not very likely)
We had lots of great laughs from your site (I hope that was your intent)
Please let us know if you ever do more...
