Hey, don't knock wasting time at Poor Richard's... I always walk out with at least $30 of books I didn't know I needed. They have good pizza, too. Bryan, look up that KB Toy Works near Castle Rock--it might be in that outlet village. -Erik (not (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.us.co.cos)

I'm here! The Springs that is....... My name is Mike Burroughs and I'm new to the Spring & LUGNET. FYI: The Rite Aid drug stores are closing in CS. They have most everything 20% off.

(...) I thought that CRAP was actually CRAPP. Crummy Ramp and Pit Plate. Those are the 32 X 32 baseplates with the raised area usually used in Larger castles, space bases, etc. The POOP is related to the BURP (Big Ugly Rock Piece) as well. You can (...)

Um, Piece Of Other Pieces. One type of big chunky brick, that could have been formed from several pieces but wasn't. If (like the tower battlement piece) it has some partial unique shapes, it's called a CRAP. So, I guess it was more of that in the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.co.cos)

The Kmart further down Academy is just as good for end-of-year clearance sales. There (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.co.cos)
