Colin G.
("Aculeus")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Classic Space, Classic Castle, Pirates, older Technic (with REAL beams, not those dang round-end pieces of crud), anything with good parts.
My fascination with LEGO began... Long ago in the mists of time. Really I can't remember, but when I was a baby I suppose.
I once built... A working swashplate assembly when I was 10, having no previous knowledge of of such a thing. When my father, an aircraft mechanic, informed me what it was I was disappointed that my creation wasn't original. Dad pointed out however, that it was still impressive that I had come up with it on my own.
Someday I will build... A carrier ship for my mecha squad. If only TLG would get a brain and include inverse slopes in their dang bulk program.
LEGO is great because... It's a million toys in one, but also an art medium, a tool, a conversation piece, an exercise for the mind, etc.
LEGO fans are great because... They're the nicest most creative and supportive bunch of people in the world.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: What?! Non-LEGO toys?!...okay, I do have some Star Wars Micro Machines.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Science Fiction, Anime, frisbee golf, ballroom dance.
My favorite Foods: Sushi and sashimi, mint-chocolate chip ice cream, veggie-kabobs.
My favorite Movies & TV: Movies: Anything by Spielberg, Lucas, Carpenter, or Cameron. Don't watch much TV except Who's Line.
My favorite Artists: Chiodo, Linsner, Sorayama, Loose, Da Vinci, Syd Mead, Escher, Dali, Monet
My favorite Music: Enya, Aerosmith, Supertramp, ELO, Barenaked Ladies, Wagner, Journey, John Williams
My favorite Pets & Animals: Cats, rats, and bio-engineered minidragons.
Words which best describe me: Friendly and goofy.
I love it when... a creation comes together.
I hate it when... I'm missing one dang piece.
I can't seem to get enough... INVERSE SLOPES!!!!! ARE YOU LISTENING LEGO GROUP?!?!!!!
I always seem to have enough... feet. I wear size 14. I wish they made Rollerballs in my size. *sigh*
I hope I always... can think of new ideas.
I wish I could... be a designer for Lucas.
I could never... jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
I hope I never... have to jump out of a messed-up airplane.
I wish I hadn't... lost half of my childhood LEGO in the yard/scratched up the rest.
In my craziest moments... hmm...Might be easier to describe my _sane_ moments.
Believe it or not... I lived in a tent for a year, while my father built our house in Washington state.
If I were super-human... I would be paralized by the ethical dilemma of whether or not to buy LEGO with the drug money I'd confiscate from the villians.
More & Less:
- more Random acts of kindness., less Pointless idiotic things like vandalism, hate crimes, aggressive driving.
- more Cycling, surfing, skating, chess, checkers, dancing, fishing, etc., less Smoking, drinking, promiscuity, etc.
- more INVERSE SLOPES!!! ARE YOU LISTENING LEGO GROUP?!?!!!, less BURPY CRAPPY PIECES, MISMATCHED COLORS IN HINGES AND ANIMAL PARTS!!! ARE YOU LISTENING LEGO GROUP?!
Rules I try to live by:
- Do unto others...
- Do nice things to be nice, not in hope of reward.
- Allow three seconds distance between you and the car ahead.
