Catalog of LEGO Sets

856b.jpgEver want to find build instructions for an old LEGO set? Check out the sweet BrickFactory site.

I still have all of the instruction booklets from my childhood sets.

Set 856, in particular, was the one I saved up over $50 for and ordered directly from LEGO in 1985. I still have the original typed receipt.

This kinda thing will be the undoing of the NBA

First off, I’ll hold off about Isiah Thomas. You know what I think about him and his skills as a GM and coach.

This kind of crap by NBA players will be the end of the NBA. Kick all the thugs out. I want to see some skill — some good jump shots, some more stars with 90%+ free throw percentage, some sweet moves night and night out. Mugging guys going to the basket is not skill. I hope they suspend Carmelo “sucker punch” Anthony for the rest of the year — ala Ron Artest. Kick out Mardy Collins, too. Who’s he again?

Butter Joke

Okay, there is this piece of butter, okay. And he thinks, “I’m not doing very well in life so I really want to start making ends meet and progressing.”

So he jumps onto half a slice of bread and he thinks, “Oh yeah, this is quite good, this half a slice of bread. But I still think I could do better in life.”

So he jumps onto a full slice of bread. “This is amazing,” he thinks. “I’m really living the high life.” But he thinks, “I could still go further.”

So he jumps onto a slice of toast and, “This is a very, very comfortable slice of toast.” It’s just like absolute luxury. But he thinks, “I could still go further in life,” so he jumps onto the next thing.

And by now he’s thinking, “Okay, I’ve lived a very good life, I think it’s about time I wrapped everything up,” and he starts to walk away, but his friend calls out, “Oh no, don’t stop now. Youre on a roll.”

Classic.
