Hey Jojo, Happy Halloween/Reformation Day. Great MOC. I especially like the way you put the inkstain into the floor and into the wall (SNOTty, even). The cabinet on the wall and the chair are also very cool. The green thing is still a puzzle to me, (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, FTX)

Anthony, That's hilarious, and yet tragic, for we've all been in similar situations. My favorite line is: "I tried to catch the chips off-guard - I pressed again, but twice as hard." That one made me LOL. Bruce (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
