I personally hate Timmy because he represents the current inanity found in
some of the sets (Time Twisters, Town Jr., Town Jr-Jr, etc - remember when
cars had doors?). Everyone needs a scapegoat, and his freaky features
nominated him, IMHO, for the role.
Which I think is a good segue for me to say "Hi, my name is Chuck, I'm new,
here are some photos of my stuff, which include (coincidently) the Elian Saga
using Timmy (more coming - I needed some of the new TV camera crew sets which
I now have - check back) my little statement about Timmy and Jar-Jar (who I
hate for the obvious reasons) and also photos of the anti-globalization riots
that hit my soon to be named Lego town, similar to what happened in Seattle
and DC recently. They rioted outside the McD's..."

And let me throw in a "hello" to all the people I met at the great Brickfest.
Nicest people...
