One could speculate, I suppose, that it might have something to do with
- an April Fool's prank in which a nonexistent historic set was presented,
causing quite a stir among historians...
- another April Fool's prank in which an entire line of highly desirable
future sets was presented, causing quite a stir among fans salivating for
new 9V stuff...
- choosing to use BEER wagons rather than one of the other cars in his
record attempts... perhaps it's something about beer?
- Encouraging Torsten to go gallivanting about the countryside (taking me to
used LEGO stores) to the point of missing an important flight (his job at
the time included meeting VW flights at the Braunschweig/Brunswick airport
to hand out company cars), and tearing back to the airport at 225 kph on a 2
lane...
- Mutilation of parts in really clever ways
- Incitement of others to do the same
- Complaining about Legends releases
- Conspiracy to win ISSC by dint of really awesome models, and inciting
others to do the same
- and various other "high crimes and misdemeanors" of the LEGO persuasion.
Or maybe it has something to do with his girlfriend, I dunno.
We should all aspire to be as bad as Ben. :-) Bad Boys have more fun.
