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.
