Thanks for the reply. I told my wife before I posted that you would probably
answer similar to the manner you did - even down to the "It's LEGO, so you
can imagine it either way". I got a good chuckle out of that, since it
appears we AFOLs think a lot alike.
Whatever you change the sign to, I hope it sparks as much interest as this
one - double meanings (accidental or not) are quite creative!
We look forward to seeing your next iteration! Like you, I spend a lot of
time just collecting parts in preparation for several joyous sessions of
construction.
I hopefully will post some of my creations soon to the contest. There are
some fabulous designs already posted that have really raised my
consciousness as to what is possible with the brick.
