Now I did already post about this last night, but since it doesn't seem to
have shown up anywhere, I'll fire again (and I'll keep <<expletive indicating
dogged commitment deleted>> firing until I hit something ;-)

Mmmm. Actually, the Port Block Pirates wear the blue jacket over the red and
white striped undershirt, and white duds. And while the Pirates haven't yet
registered their colours, I note (for the benefit of the rest of you out there
forming up your teams) that the Pirates have some nasty big pointy cutlasses.

Yup, but the oversized studs that the players stand on are too high for pegs,
so peg legs must play with their best peg forward. The only real downside
with this is that if he gives is a fair roost, he tends to follow through and
end up a bit stooped - maybe that's just extra realism?

At these prices I bought a bus and the field, and have no immediate plans
(although Pia has already explained to me that I'll need a red bus for the
Port Block Privates (red coats). In any event, I will have plenty of figs
available rent a crowd style, and the local magistrate's court would be only
to pleased to provide referrees and linesmen.

Don't see it myself. To begin with, how would you get their shorts up their
crack? And if you can't do that, Pia tells me its not AFL. Mind you, we
could model a mean maggot ;-)

Already got a women's team now (a head here, hair there). And since in the
Legoverse women are the equal of the men in every way except beauty (in which
way the women are superior, or not obviously, and not that there's anything
wrong with that) its bound to be a decent match, no?
And I agree with Santosh, the game's a blast. I reckon my sons and I will be
giving it a punishing, and as a work colleague has already suggested, we might
need one for the toy table at work :-)

Still baldly going...
