Ewe know that punning only goats me on! Now bleat it, or wool have to get shearious with you, Dave!

The greatest tragedy in all of this is that I was staring right at a perfect double pun and totally flubbed it: “lamenting” should have been “lamb-minting.”

Way to miss the easy one, Dave!

Yeah, way to go, Dave! That one was money in the bank. Now, if you’d be so kind as to explain it....

  
  
   I’m not sure what the term should apply to large-ish elements that can’t be broken down into smaller basic bricks, but I don’t think juniorization is quite right.

   I see your point, and yet I can’t come up with another term for it. I believe both ideas are encompassed by the term.

Sure, in the absence of another term, I’d agree. What we need is someone smarter than both of us to craft a new designator.

??? Does such a person exist? Has such an intellect ever existed??? <consults Magic 8 Ball> “Outlook not so good”. Okay, yes, I know that; what about the other question! “Cannot predict now”. Well, okay, I’ll get back to you on that, Dave!

   What’s Ross doing right now?

Ahhh, good choice. He’s seventeen now, and, of course, being a teenager, knows everything about everything. </sarcasm> BTW, heads up for those teen-age years!

   I’d ask Matthew, but he’s mostly at Duplo-scale,

??? You allow your children to play with LEGO products???

   and Justin’s still figuring out how to grab his toes most effectively.

Well, then, he’s already more clever than the majority on the DU! >;-D

  
  
  
   You are truly a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, Dave!

Oh, I’m a rich tapestry, all-rightie!

Spin me another yarn, Dave!

If that’s what you want, then start a new thread.

Don’t be a spool, Dave! Needleless to say, I was being thimbolic.

JOHN
