I feel bad even putting (dumping) that part into my daughter's bins... But
then again, she might find some use for it that adults could never imagine.
That is what Lego is all about.

Perhaps BrickFest should have a contest - Given a pile of not so great parts
(including the orange steeds from 7115 Gungun Patrol), see who can come up
with the most creative model...

Larry - for some reason this phrase struck me as particularly funny.

I would describe "Freaky desire" as the sensation that occurs as you go • on a
late night BrickLink hoarding spree, buying out the only 30 copies of • some
obscure part from 9 sellers in 4 different countries. And prior to your
spending spree you only had 2 of this part in your collection and it
regulated it to the "What was Lego thinking? I will never, ever use this
part for anything" bin until you stumbled upon a really novel use for it.

Oh ya, been there, done that. :-) What's always good is the notes you get
from befuddled sellers, wondering what you are up to and some hoping to • dump
other dross on you.

I'm wondering when it's going to happen to me for THIS part:

That part kinda scares me. It's so darn worthless. And I have so MANY of • it
from all the grey plates *cough* Siths *cough* packs I parted out.
