While Lego may insist these are based in other themes like pirates or western, all (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

You could sort of tell that Brad was semi expecting the question and had a snap answer ready to go. (the "maybe" in (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) It was Brad. All otherwise unattributed comments (1) were his. However Jeff is right, the rest of the room shouted it out at pretty much the same time. It was pretty funny. 1 - if it just said "A:" rather than say "Jake:" before the remark... (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) Just wanted to mention that i greatly appreciate your transcribing the remarks, as some other have mentioned. It kept people like me who had no means of getting to the brickfest in the loop.
