if 20 chickens can fit in a brick, how many pingpongballs does a crocodile have to eat so it can swim faster than a washing machine?

A couple weeks ago I got 8+ pounds of Legos for FREE!!! The only bad thing about it was that it didn't include any minifigs. :( . But the upside to that is that my grandma that gave me the parts goes to yard sales just about every weekend in the summer, and she told me she'd keep her eye open for Legos. :)

You'll almost never get Lego at a garage sale. I've tried in Toronto and that doesn't even work.

I know, most of the time you won't be able to. But, that is where she found the Legos she got me, so apparently, sometimes there are used Legos for sale at garage sales. I don't really count on any more this summer, though.

got me a Nerf Recon yesterday, sort of expected it to be smaller :P
I also found the time to mod my Maverick.

I'd like to paint them both in a realistic-ish colourscheme, but I am worried the paint will chip like hell due to extensive use.

How messy is your room that you had things in there that you didn't even know that you owned? Sounds like something my sister would do.

Or he has a magical bed that generates lego. If that is it, I'd love to know where did you buy it.

My bed generates socks... I have no idea what for. Profit?

Anyway, I just got this "Schnelle Bezahlung" posted on my Briklink Forum Feedback. I'm suspicious, do I need to buy a plane ticket and sort anyone out here or is this supposed to be a good thing? I know Schnelle is German for shift it yah Piltogg bastard but I'm stumped on Bezahlung. I think it means biggusdickus but I swear I never touched anyone. I tried google but it just shows some blonde woman pointing at some money... or some money. I've never paid for anything hlung before, ever. Beza or otherwise.

Oh, and on topic. I just burned Mini-Warheads college fund on more Lego. I would show you but it's work in progress.
