Yes, but you have to agree, it is fun saying a whole bunch of junk that no one
cares about. =)

It's also an N64 game, and it's cool! I'll bet I can beat you at it!

It is not space when you have airtanks. It is simply "can't survive without
them" when you have airtanks. The UFO are Space (capital S), and they don't
have airtanks. In space (lowercase), you would need airtanks, except when you
are on a planet with Atmosphere that you can survive in. TLG should make a new
theme to end all these argumets called "Sci-Fi-Die" as in Space (uppercase)
with out airtanks or helmets (or space suits, for that matter :) That way, the
people who are crazy about airtanks and helmets can buy Space, while the rest
of us can buy space: as in Sc-Fi-Die.
I'm waiting for some more decent Space or space themes. I'd rather have Space
then space (star wars). There should be themes with no BURPs or POOPs (what's
a CRAPP?) or Town-Juniorized. I've seen a 5 year old build a town junior set
in five minutes flat. So all the Town Junior sets should be changed to
Town-Toddler (screw duplos), and make a new Theme (sub-theme, i dunno) called
Town Semi-Junior. That way it would take a 5 year old about ten minutes to
build a set. Darn.
Kill the SW contract. More Space not Space that should be space but is
considered Space because it is sci-fi and sci-fi usually is space. (pay close
attention to the uppercase and lowercase Ss)

Oh, and did I mention that if you multiplied the circomference of an orange by
pi, then divide that by the exact pulsating sub-atomic rate of the particles in
the space-time continuum...?
Speaking of sub-atomic particles, I was looking at the SW "Incredible cross
sections" pic and stats of the Falcon, and I found something like this:
"Many other ships have tried to go this speed without the mods., and have blown
themselves into subatomic particles."
Oh well.
I guess I'm still not making any sense again.
Bye,
