The next thing you know you'll be showing us her circuits! Robo-porn is the scourge of our society and should be promoted at every oportunity! More please.

I'll be right back--gotta get some WD-40 . . .

Well if i had my old job at Lego, I could have given you and huge container of bricks that were used in displays.

You could have all the fun you wanted to.

And one of these days I expect we will get to actually see what the Amazingly Geeky Annalee really looks like.

Although, somehow I think her next profile icon might the the Medusian box from Star Trek TOS...
Just to mess with us... lol

I just don't have that much imagination when it comes to people. In fact, I like to imagine a Ghidorah figure reading every one of Annalee's articles out loud, in a kind of mock-monster voice.

Then it proceeds to destroy a nearby lego-city, before being attacked by the silly-putty blob.

... Man, I wish I had some action figures, and that I knew where my silly putty was.
