Heh-heh (Larry, you are sooooooo wicked).
When I was interviewed by the Canadian Broadcast Corp. reporters back in 1987
(for a TV news show on 25 years of LEGO in Canada), I used the term "coming out
of the LEGO closet". After all isn't LEGO an alternative lifestyle?
And back then (before I discovered other AFOLs) it wasn't anything you told a
lot of people. I'm sure many of us have had similar stories about not telling
a lot of people "I like building with LEGO". Or the looks and stares at TRU
when you made a large purchase (just don't make eye contact with other people)
.... been there, done that.
