(...) Pft. World of Warcraft, baby! (...) I read this far before I said "IE". Then I also said "Firefox". And probably "Reinstall, and/or Spybot S&D". (...) Try Spybot - it's actually pretty good at rooting these things out: (URL) (...) Cool! Sounds (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) (snip) (...) Good question, and one you should, in my view, ask first. Often the answer will be some sort of extra payment to your club in addition to the appearance fee.

(...) I'd have to agree that's a point in your favor. Just today I heard a story about a women (I think it was in Virginia) who was arrested for trying to pass a $200 bill with President Bush (!) on the front. She claimed she thought it was real. (...)

(...) The kit seemed to be a big success, at least raising some awareness I think. The build area didn't get set up, as I recall, simply due to a lack of available bodies to monitor it. I had intended to bring the bricks to this year's show in case (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

He himself just got back from a train show in Ottawa, where the LEGO train guys had the table for kids to play with LEGO Bricks. Anyway, after speaking with Frank, I was (...)
