Lego is way better than candy!!
I'm new posting on lugnet, but I've been reading posts since I learned about
the site, about 1 1/2 yrs. ago. I first saw Lego when I was about 4 or 5 yrs.
old (before I was in kindergarten.) I was at a "daycare" for kids during
church so we wouldn't make too much noise to disrupt Mass. I found several
2x2x1 bricks in different colors (red, yellow, blue, white, black--this was in
1977ish)& I was totally excited & "hooked on" the bricks. I could not wait for
my parents to get out of Mass so I could show them my first MOC--a simple stack
of colored bricks! (Mom, Mom, I gotta get these!!!!) I did not have a dark age,
& I remember mentioning in high school that I was gonna have a Lego room in my
house; the teacher asked something to the effect of "what if your wife doesn't
like that idea/Lego?"--I said whoever "she" was wouldn't be my wife to begin
with! In college (Clemson University-Architecture), one of our projects was to
make a carrying case for our modelling equipment/drafting pens, etc.--my case
was in the shape of a lego brick (but not made out of bricks in case I lost it
:-) .) Anyways, I think Lugnet is the center of the Lego users community
especially because of this similar type of overall enthusiasm of the
community/site, & the enthusiasm will not be out-done by dissagreements--even
the people with disagreements choose to come here to share them!
