It probably just depends who you talk to. But if they start getting all
snooty on us, we'll just have to buy our pints elsewhere...

We can always build a few of those life-size minifigs to fill in the gaps.
(Weekend at Bernie's, anyone?) We'll just tell the wait-staff that our
friend "Timmy" will take care of the tab as we slip out the door.

Not tonight. I'm slowly easing her out of adulthood and back into
AFOL-hood. Step #1 was to get her to dig out her old LEGO collection from
her parents' house. Step #2 was to get her to admit that she wouldn't give
it to me because she couldn't stand to part with it. Step #3 was to get her
to browse the Shop@Home catalog to buy my birthday present, which got her to
decide that she wanted the "Kitty Clock" for herself. (Side note: I got it
for her as a Christmas present, but I gave it to her last night because our
electricity was/still is out and she didn't have a battery-operated alarm
clock.) Step #4 was to involve her in building a "cute" MOC to dec the halls.
I think there are usually 12 steps in this sort of program, but I'm not sure
what the rest of them are. Attending a NELUG meeting is definitely in the
double digits, though.

I'm guessing that many a pint of Guiness would trade hands for that train set.
