 Dear LEGO / 5212 (-10)
  Re: Dillution of trade name
 
Hello! (...) Oh, people (kids, parents, non-AFOLs) are using "legos" all the time around here. It simply is shorter for "LEGO bricks" and everybody still knows exactly what this term ("legos") is referring to. As long as it's not used in official (...)

(...) That's "War Between the States", ya Yankee! And I'll send Boris and Natasha after you if you even think about swivel-hipping your way outta this. :-) Gray: 'Merican. Or maybe rebel. Wait, that implies "civil war". Dang, this gets (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  More color specific selection packs please
