Todd,

You have too much time on your hands, get back to Auc7 packing.

Well, you know, I typed that while eating a sandwich.  And while it's
generally safe to bring food near the keyboard, we have strict no-food
rules about handling the LEGO we ship out.  We even scrub our hands after
handling any rubber LEGO tires.  (Small rubber LEGO tires are sort of oily
from the manufacturing process, and we don't want to disturb the pristine
qualities of the regular pieces by handling them after the tires.  Oddly,
the larger Technic tires don't have oily problems...different kind of rubber
manufacturing process, I guess.)  Plus I am still fighting off a cold.


Any ETA on that?

RSN for remaining people -- we're down to the last 15-10% of the pieces.


They never did get enough people for Hands Across America.  They had to fly
helicopters over large chunks of Nevada and other hot dry nasty states to
"symbolize" the unity or whatever.

Hmm, and I suppose bricks would melt in Nevada.  :*)

Well, so much for Bricks Across America.  :^'

(...) Food Service disposable plastic gloves. Would make small-part handling a challenge. But that's what pharmacist pill-sorting boards are for. Steve (26 years ago, 17-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
