Hmm...yes.  As your K-wing met it's match against Boddingtons, My Black Seas
Baracuda fell victim to the power of Guiness during the party of '91.  I
wish I could retell the tale, but the details remain a little fuzzy to this
day.  Ahem.

More recently however, one thing happened.  Me mum and my lovely wife pooled
to deliver the ISD for Christmas.  By the time New Years had rolled around,
I had completed the main hull and had yet to move on the bridge structure.
Safely (or so I thought) on a makeshift building table in the basement, I
figured that it wouldn' come to harm during our celebrations.  Well,
apparently at some point during the evening, the lads found out about it and
decided it needed some ballast.  A couple days later when I got back to work
on it, I smelled something a little 'hoppy'.  Looking down into the hull, I
had discovered why the normal task of gathering up beer caps had seemed so
light in the rest of the house.

Bibiet emptor.

I ask him how he got an upgrade and it turns out it's because he just
dropped his old one and had to buy a new one.  I'm laughing (because this
thing tends to happen with Miles) and I enthusiastically back hand one of my
MOCs to the floor..

..where it promptly exploded.  Although a closer look at what was the k-wing
might provide a clue as to why this happened.

Regardless, I saw the humor in this and laughed it off.
This brings up a what might be an interesting topic though.

Have your MOCs been through get togethers of similar or greater magnitude?
Have any funny stories?  Keep your Lego locked up or is it fair game at
parties?

[ j o n ] ...when I figure out which end is front I'll post some real
construction details ;-)
