I don't remember who said that either!

"LEGO Nerf" does sound familiar - I can nod and pretend
I said that.  =)

It seems like the dejanews archive is getting more and more
delapidated as time goes by.

A while back, we had a thread or two on rec.toys.lego, entitled "LEGO hits
bottom."  The idea was to propose imaginary sets which would "prove" LEGO
had run out of ideas.  I think the whole thing was inspired by theTime
Cruiser sets.

Among other things proposed were "LEGO nerf"  (Jeff Thompson?), and a couple
other great sarcastic jokes.

There was one that went like this:

"LEGO polar base.  White bricks.  LOTS of white bricks.  New polar bear
element."

Now, what I want to know is...who had the crystal ball?

(...) I'm finding the same thing, I've suggested it before to no avail, but I do think that we should get together and get/buy the rec.toys.lego and alt.toys.lego archive and bring it ove rhere to Lugnet. Those newsgroups are part of the heritage. (24 years ago, 13-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
