Apparently, his entire garage is dedicated to some Lego city/world he works on constantly. <br /><br />I cannot get over this. I find nearly impossible to think of him doing this without laughing hysterically.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452158972739021104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-5899921423233242672010-03-02T19:18:08.215-05:002010-03-02T19:18:08.215-05:00I built all sorts of different things with Legos g...I built all sorts of different things with Legos growing up and I'm as handy as can be.

Never considered the reasons why, but I like Dave's logic as it allows place the blame for yet another of my faults squarely at the feet of my parents. Thanks a lot, dicks.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452158972739021104noreply@blogger.com
