Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Classic Space 1979-86, Star Wars Episode
4-6.
My fascination with LEGO began... ...obviously at Christmas Eve 1973. A photo
from this day shows my uncle wearing a silly
red coat and a white beard, giving me a big
box. On this picture you can see the
fascination of the whole universe in my eyes...
By the way, it was the Train Set 180. No
solicitation please, the parts are lost.
I once built... ...a cupboard for fireworks, with three drawers
for the three firecracker sizes I bought. It was
raining on that New Years Eve, so my friend
and I decided to stay indoors and throw the
mini bombs out of the window. What a silly
idea. Of course one of the things fell into the
cupboard. We had to duck and cover. After the
big bang, my room resembled Berlin in 1945,
with small fires burning on the carpet. I never
recovered all of the bricks, but I still have
some burnt blue 8x1x1 from this explosive
MOC.
Someday I will build... ...the Death Star in Minifig Scale. Hey... hey,
Doc, where are you taking me?
LEGO is great because... ...it's everything. Everything you want and all
you can think of. It's genius and the most
creative toy of all time. So much for pathos.
LEGO fans are great because... ...they are creative, open-minded and had a
good childhood. Why else would they be such
good people?
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: My old BMW, Slot Car Racing, PlayStation.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: My old BMW, Vintage Car Races, expensive red cars from Maranello/Italy.
My favorite Foods: Swordfish Curry. Too exotic? OK, gimme pasta.
My favorite Movies & TV: Star Trek (Next Generation). And I've seen all 356 parts of "Dallas".
My favorite Artists: Douglas Adams, Bill Watterson, Sergio Pininfarina.
My favorite Music: Died with John Lee Hooker. *twaing*.
My favorite Pets & Animals: I like penguins, but not only these should live in their natural living space.
Words which best describe me: I'm an Aquarius. I wear black clothes and was born in the year of the first moon landing.
I love it when... ...100.000 people overlook a nice space lot on
ebay so I can get it for ten or twenty bucks.
I hate it when... ...there is a LL928 on ebay for 15 $ and
somebody uses the BIN function before I can.
I can't seem to get enough... ...blue and grey hinges to build space models
with an absurd number of functions.
I always seem to have enough... ...blue 1x1x1 bricks, but no idea what to build
with them.
I hope I always... ...will have a copy of "Life Of Brian" in my video
collection.
I wish I could... ...weld car bodies and adjust the carburettors
of my old BMW.
I could never... ...blast Lego bricks. Sssh! Hey, cut me some
slack here! It was New Years Eve 1980 and
that was more than twenty years ago.
I hope I never... ...have to sell my Legos.
I wish I hadn't... ...permitted my best friend to sell his Legos to
somebody else besides me when he began
his dark ages.
In my craziest moments... ...I am at work, write my actual thoughts down
and get paid for them at the end of the month.
Believe it or not... ...what I wrote down here.
If I were super-human... I would be the ultimate herrminator, ta-daa!
With my x-ray vision I could look through walls
to see if there are some forgotten bricks that
no one needs.
More & Less:
- more individuality, less me-too
- more speed, less limits
- more future, less war
Rules I try to live by:
- Shit happens.
- Do what you want, but don't hurt somebody.
- Always look on the bright side of life.
