The Middleman

I know isn't it wonderful? Hell of a lot more useful than yellow. Dark red rules. And snefroe, I don't think the Venator will become a set - it's too big, unfortunately.

Is it different from the other bucket?

That looks fantastic. Are you ever going to sell it?

But the thing that makes 4+ bad is that it took away the opportunity for a REAL Pirate line. :'(

Damn, I was going to mention its inclusion in a Madonna song, but thought it wasn't worthwhile. Here are the lyrics: Madonna Oh What A Circus [Che:] Oh what a circus, oh what a show Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron We've all gone crazy Mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit, that's how to go When they're ringing your curtain down Demand to be buried like Eva Peron It's quite a sunset And good for the country in a roundabout way We've made the front page of all the world's papers today But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments, she had some style The best show in town was the crowd Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron" But that's all gone now As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years [Crowd:] Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy Our life, sweetness, and hope Hail, hail, oh queen To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve To you we sigh, mourning and weeping Oh clement, oh loving one [Che:] You let down your people Evita You were supposed to have been immortal That's all they wanted, not much to ask for But in the end you could not deliver Sing you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through And she's not coming back to you Show business kept us all alive Since seventeen October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government we had a stage Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage Instead of help we were given a crowd She didn't say much, but she said it loud Sing you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you [Crowd:] Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Peron Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia [Eva:] Don't cry for me Argentina For I am ordinary, unimportant And undeserving of such attention Unless we all are, I think we all are So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin [Che:] It's our funeral too

'The beauty of life and our hope'? What could this be about? EDIT: This is the full hymn... Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, the children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this land of exile. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; lead us home at last and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus: O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

I thought the crusades were against the Middle East? *wacko*

Can someone please follow that crazy maid while another check the broom closet. What a nice song "Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy", a song in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary... Have it anything to do with tha strange zip code???? You beat me to the translation... damn! I haven't the slightest clue what the clue is supposed to point to, though.

Oh, yes we can!

Well, I made my Nazis out of SW officers and City police. I'm using all flesh tones to make it more realistic. Progress on the actual camp is minimal - I have one guard tower almost completed (they're large) and the fence (no wires, though). Will I be able to post the finished product here, DoubleT/jonfett/jipay/Apo?

I use Fireworks as well. A FELLOW USER!

It's the PO Box from Solvang, California - dubbed 'the Danish capital of America'. http://www.solvangusa.com/

Could LEGO sue him for that? Nah, he can't be sued unless he makes money off of it. Tons of people spoof LEGO boxes for their creations.

I added a warning in front of the link to the guy's site. Sorry for the delay.

Vlad-EK, maybe?

Just for the record, Vikings would've used guns if they'd had them. I'm still in the running. ;)

LEGO, a lot of schoolwork, community service, movies (a lot of them), anime, and a lot of reading. And, of course, tons of internet usage.

This is the worst ADAPTATION I have ever seen. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. were about 75% true to the books. This is, at best, 25%.

I actually heartily disagree with jonfett. It was a great movie - if, that is, you don't expect it to bear any resemblance to the actual book in any way. I've read the book seven times, the most recently being last week, so I know my stuff, and I recognized four scenes from the book. Each one lasts about 7-12 minutes on average. It took faithfulness to a lower level than Britney Spears. I'm not saying it wasn't a good movie, but if you go and see it, watch it as a movie, and NOT as an adaptation.

AHA! My FIRST guess was right for the victim. But who would use a six-shooter, and THEN steal the cutlass? Unless there are more murders in the works...

I'm thinking about using the gray imperial officers (and replacing the yellow ones with flesh heads/hands). This is definitely NOT a project meant to make light of the Holocaust. The project is to create a visual aid representing one aspect of the Holocaust. I felt that making a LEGO death camp would be more honorable than trying to make one out of cardboard and pipe cleaners.

That's the old Johnny Thunder face.

A magnetic 2x2 plate would be nice.

WRONG!!! *devil* vikings are cool? WRONG!!! *devil* 1. You don't know that I'm wrong. 2. You can't say that my opinion about Vikings is wrong - it's mine, not yours. 3. I'm a moderator, so going out of your way to annoy me is really, REALLY not a good idea.

A bit taboo, but I need some good Nazi custom minifigs for my death camp project. Does anyone know of a site or Bricklink store with anything of that sort?
