Lego my...self

I was watching Jimmy Kimmel the other night and he had the most awesome toys. They were giant (20 inch) Lego figures. Jimmy had one of Prince of Persia and somehow Jake Gyllenhaal got one that looked like Jimmy. Thinking it would be great to have a Lego me I went to the Lego website to try and find how to order one. Much to my dismay I couldn’t find anything resembling what I was looking for. So I hit Google looking for a different vendor. They are surprisingly difficult to find. From what I was able to learn Lego doesn't distribute then to the public. They are (or were) produced for store displays. I was able to find some for sale on eBay. They seem to be going for a few hundred dollars! I think that if Lego were to start mass producing these figures they would be able to sell them for less and possibly allow for some customization. I guess my dream of having a Lego me must go unfulfilled…for now.

Dairy Queen Killer

I must apologize to the woman driving the black mustang in the Dairy Queen drive through. Let me explain, it's been a while since I have been to that particular DQ and I thought I didn't have to turn for another block. Then you suddenly braked and started getting over to turn. It was then that I realized that I needed to turn there as well. Your next maneuver did perplex me a little. After you immediately drove through the drive through without ordering anything; I thought you had missed a turn and were just using the parking lot to turn around. But after I ordered I noticed you were not heading back the way you came. While I was waiting for my order I looked behind me and to my surprise you were there. This made me wonder to my self, "what mental process caused you to pull into DQ not order anything, leave, and immediately come back and order". I an only assume that I had a ice-cream-crazed look on my face that made you think that I would kill for ice cream. Perhaps you thought that I had a cross bow in my trunk and you were going to fall victim to road rage inspired vigilante justice. Then again it could just be that you are on a diet and had second thoughts about getting fast food but then you were able to rationalize "just one more blizzard. I can stop when ever I want."

Dino Abduction

The highlight of the second day driving through Wyoming is the ice cream break at Little America. I had been looking forward to this stop since we started planning the trip. Not merely because of the 50 cent ice cream cone but because I was going to have my picture taken with the dinosaur. We got our ice cream cones and I started towards the door. To my surprise I didn't see the dinosaur outside. My first thought was that I just didn't remember exactly where it was. After searching and not finding it I went inside to ask where the dinosaur was (hoping they had just moved it to another area). To my shock and horror she said that a trucker had stolen it. I thought to myself why would someone seal the Sinclare dinosaur from Little America. I could only think of two reasons for abducting it. 1 They wanted it to put in their pool or 2 some rich dinosaur needed an organ transplant. Either way I hope they are happy with what they did.
