Pain to the Sole

I'm thinking of suing the Toyota Corporation.

Years ago, I played with Lego. And when I needed a Lego car to push around my Lego city, I took an 6-peg brick and snapped it onto an 8-peg brick.

What I didn't realize at the time was that I was designing the Scion.

Incidentally I used to play with the real Lego, the kind with just little square blocks that required some imagination to become a truck or a man or fire-breathing horse with feathered wings for flying and that could speak 17 languages but not French.

I don't like the newer Lego sets nearly so much. One piece can only be a door; another can only be a car's headlight. This set can only build a space station, and this one can only be a hospital. The modern Lego requires less imagination. Requires less, and develops less. Too many children get older and find themselves incapable to see beyond the obvious, to take creative flights of fancy.

After a few years of that, we now have a generation who actually think Two and Half Men is funny. I shudder over the future.

Thanks, guys.
