Well Rogers basically bribed me into getting Digital Cable. I could put the digital box in a closet, still get the same selection of channels, and it will cost me 5 dollars less a month. Works for me. I guess they are working towards getting (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So in building the 'underside' of the mountain, I used up all my 23 red bricks. I was quite surprised 'cause I had lots of 'em. Eh, now I have to change the colour--it'll look hokey, but I'm good at hokey... This is fun! Dave K (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I've been using them to tilt pies to drain excess moisture from the apple filling. I originally used Lego, but I figured if the pie plate was still hot, I might lose a 2x4, so I decided to use all the Megablocks I've culled out of garage sale (...)
