(...) Actually, that's all just at the very beginning, and has little to do with the main plot about the Nahasapemapetalan's octuplets, or the surprise twist where Abraham "Grandpa" Simpson is the real father. eric (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Probably happy, as "Lego" is both the singular and plural - ie "Legos" is incorrect! Richard (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Actually, both are incorrect -- "Lego" is an adjective, and isn't to be used as a noun in either singular or plural form. The example the LEGO Company uses is: "For example, say 'MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS'. Never say 'MODELS BUILT OF (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'd have to disagree big time! I'd say the quality has gone up if anything-- it's just practicality and believablility that have gone out the window.. but that's what MAKES it a quality show in my own opinion... <Simpsons Theory> The show (...)
