The real happy part of this story is, that once upon a time he was just a
plain old blue imperial guardsman who, though very handsome, had no
personality at all. In fact, he didn't even have a name. Today, he is the
first soldier of Knobhead to be awarded the Congressional Lego of Honor. (a
yellow 1x1 round that *surprisingly* says LEGO on it's face)
"I believe," said the (newly christened) Admiral Phineas Bluebottle, "that
we must all be willing to give our lives for the children... I know I lost a
leg in battle, men. But all is not wasted. (He held up his broken leg
solemnly) I can still use this leg to beat the daylights out of the next kid
who doesn't know how to treat a decent toy."
There was not a dry eye in the place.

| (...) they (...) How mundane! There has to be a proper storyline, some kind of commemoration of the event - just think of the story he can tell the church kids to make 'em feel guilty. :-) Bruce (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.pirates)
