Or stayed up way too late (sans caffeine) and made a crap joke. Which
apparently touched a raw nerve. Wow, I can't believe I posted that. Man, I
always get delirious after about 2:30am without caffeine assistance. Sorry
guys. *hangs head*

Except that the 13 year-old was serious..... Please remember, I'm an AFOL,
what could be more capitalist than owning as many Lego pieces as I can?
Well, I guess that sums up most of us, doesn't it.
Actually, I think I know the post you're talking about, it was this kid on
RTL who posted a want list with all the $200-$300 airports on it, and then
stressed that he only had pocket money to pay for them :-) Man, I'm glad I
wasn't reading _that_ one at 2am, who _knows_ what I would have replied...
:-\
That's it, I'm going to bed early tonight. No more late news-reading for me.
Sorry again.
