I'm missing a key piece, perhaps you relate. It's just a small piece, a 1x1 brown plate. My mountains have paths, that could be of wood. My chalets have brown walls, Or - well - they SHOULD! My huge bins of plates, they have no small browns. I dig (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.general) !!

I nominate Remy Evard to be LUGNET's Poet Laureate. All in favor - compose a rhyming couplet or a LEGO Limerick! Thanks Remy - I don't think Poe himself could have brought a piece of poetry to such a spine-shivering, horrific end. Greg (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)

You guys are all nuts, That much can be said. I think you have fallen, And bonked your poor head. Brown plates or blue ones, No matter your vice. Are not as important, As a lower bulk price.

What can I say? You've all hit the wall. Why do you bother to write poems at all? So a small piece is missing frustrating maybe, but think what we have we've come along way. We HAVE bulk bricks trees and figures as well. Granted we need more, ever (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)
