This is friggin' cool...i know that velvetde's hubby will be bidding on this...or maybe she'll be a good wifey and get this for him...there's plenty of room in their house!!

This huge piece was "designed by LEGO Master Builder Erik Varszegi exclusively for display at Star Wars Celebration III, San Diego Comic-Con, Legoland California and several other national LEGO events". Current bidding is up to $32,000 (by a legitimate buyer).

This thing is huge.

"I was in the great MTA strike of 2005 and all i got is this stupid blog"

GOONIES REUNITED!!! (Picture)

The real question is...

where's Sloth??

"HEY...YOU...GUYS!!!!

and why are "Mouth" and "Chunk" mis-named? who are "Bagou" and "Choco"?---is that Spanish?

Bloggy McB SPECIAL NEWS UPDATE:

ok...so "Bagou" means glibness in French...which would match Corey's character. "Choco"...dunno...in the Aztec language it means "bitter" and we get chocolate from that...but maybe it's French slang for "Truffle Shuffle."

those damn french!!

thanks to PKNYC for those two pics

Now, Who Looks Like They're Having the Better Time??

yes, this weekend was a nice little x-mas party in Bay Ridge, muchos fun was had by all...but it really kicked up a billion notches when Rosie broke out the Magic Mic. That's the gang doing a perfectly scored rendition of "Summer Nights" from Grease.

Also got to catch that little movie called King Kong. Amazing how 3 hours can just fly by when you're having fun. And i will neither confirm nor deny my emotional state at the end of that movie.

Just got back from my Physics final...what a sonofabitch of a final that was...but from the looks of the classmates, the curve will do me right in the end! woo hoo!! i'm totally hitting ecampus right after this posting to get rid of those damn books!!! So everyone keep your fingers crossed and pray to the PT school demons that Mercy takes me!

So, I feel the love from all the gang who sent me Christmas cards...and the guilt that's coursing through me right now b/c i haven't sent out any...though, i still have the ones from last year if you guys want. i'm gonna play the Physics midterm and final card for being remiss...a bloggy xmas card couldn't possibly do justice...but it's what i can do with the holiday less than 6 days away. I'll work on that as soon as my head stops hurting from thinking too much.

spooky strike coming towards us...anyone need a ride in tomorrow? we need a fourth for the carpool--or it's 12 lashes on the rack for us!!

Science vs. the Bible

A very interesting video in which Penn & Teller approach this sacred text in a logical, and enlightening way. A fair view on why it shouldn't be interpreted literally, as some people do.
