When Legos are outlawed, only outlaws will have Legos!

Feds seize U.S. Capitol Lego set, militia plans from Penn State grad charged in riot

Prosecutors said Robert Morss was involved in the attack on D.C. police officer Daniel Hodges, who was bloodied and crushed against a door.

ETA: I just checked, and it's more controvertial than I thought to pluralize 'lego' as 'legos'. Many say that 'lego' pluralizes like 'deer', where 'lego' is it's own plural form. Others say lego is a dutch root, so etymologically it should pluralize to 'legoer', but nobody says that. IDK, I'm just gonna say 'legos', because that feels correct to me, right now.

Yeah it's one of those distinctions that only matters to actual hobbyists but that they insist like the whole world should use.

When I was a child, I'm pretty sure I played with my lego or my lego set or my lego bricks, but I don't recall ever seeing or hearing "legos" until I encountered it online.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

I have had them since the early 70s, but have never used a -s plural for them.

You mean LEGO® blocks?

Although I learned recently they (they?) call them bricks.

Ironically, that is actually the origin of the term minion.

I mean it's better than the actual child porn they got in Alex Jones's batch discovery files, which he proceeded to blame on them.

I remember as a child, "Lego a my eggos".

In the sports thread I mentioned having heard before the final that some in the UK were concerned that far-right elements there were planning to turn England's Euro win - should they win - into a racist/nationalist rallying point.

England didn't win, but it looks like those elements just decided to turn the loss into a racist/nationalist rallying point.

Nothing says "we're better than anyone else" like losing in an international sports competition.

A kit that makes a pistol resemble a Lego toy gun has landed a Utah gun manufacturer in hot water.

The product, which has since been taken off the market amid an outcry, follows a 30 per cent rise in “unintentional shootings” in the US in the past year, activists say.

The gun maker sounds like a world -class asshole ;

“We wanted the second amendment to simply be too painful to tread on, so there was only one logical solution,” Culper Precision, the weapons maker, wrote in an advert on Instagram. “Here’s one of those childhood dreams coming to life, the Block 19 prototype, yes you can actually build Legos onto it.”

Make it easier -- indeed,more tempting -- for kids to play with guns,and have more kids die. That'll really pwn the libs, eh?

But just think of all the cops who can now guilt free shoot anyone they think is near colorful plastic blocks! It's a great day in the fight to let cops execute anyone for anything at anytime, and get a raise for it. Before now it might have been a hard sell to tell the judge "Look, the kid was clearly holding a brightly colored blocky toy. I feared for my life, and had the split second to decide to put the full clip of bullets into him and the surrounding area. Qualified Immunity bitch, where's my paid vacation and a promotion?" Now thanks to this gun maker's heroic actions, cops can now start using lethal force more and more on that menacing age 4 and up bracket. If the little antifa bastards hadn't been playing stupid games, they wouldn't have won stupid prizes.

NOTE: This is full of bitter sarcasm. I am not in fact turning into the average republican.

“Police sources tell Eyewitness News that the older man seen walking next to McGonagle is his father.”

He must be in hiding cause there isn’t anything else about this in the news. Crazy
