Holy crap lions! Between our exhibit at Brickworld 2008 and the posting of a small sampling of our new LEGO MOC’s on Brickshelf & MOCPages,
we seem to be getting picked up by a couple of the online LEGO media outlets. How freakin’ cool is that!!! We’ve posted the links here and we have to give hugs, kisses, and fuzzy sharks out to “The Brothers Brick” and “Brick Town Talk” for recognizing our efforts. Thanks guys! You can check out the blog posts at the links below. And while you’re there, be sure to read about all the other amazing creations that LEGO fans all over the world are building. LEGO fans are some of the most creative minds in the world and you will be amazed at what people are building.

Stacy’s White Castle on “Brick Town Talk”
We also have about 10 MOC’s that are new and haven’t been photographed. We should be posting those over the next couple weeks on our MOCPages Page.
Toodles!
I’ve been dying to use this line as the title of a post ever since I heard this song a couple weeks back.
The title really has no connection to this post as there is no girl in a blue dress and no dancing. However, it does signal that Mike Doughty’s new album is finally out and you should really go pick it up. Like right now. Like why are you still sitting reading this? Go! It’s ok…I’ll wait until you get back.
(Waits while you go to the Electric Fetus to purchase Mike Doughty’s “Golden Delicious”.)
Ahh, you’re back! Time to throw “Golden Delicious” on and enjoy the rest of my random thoughts. So, some of you have probably already received my e-mails praising Mike Doughty’s sonic genius. This album trumps “Haughty Melodic” and I thought that album was fucking brilliant. He definitely steps back towards the Soul Coughing days on this album and the whole record just feels more “danceable” than “Haughty Melodic”. He has progressed as an artist and has managed to deftly blend a smoother more refined Mike with the crazy New-York-Hipster-Mike from Soul Coughing. And it wouldn’t be Mike without the trademark “what the fuck?!?!” moments. The song “More Bacon than the Pan Can Handle” comes to mind in this instance and this is the closest he has gotten to the non-sensical scat lyrics from the days of yore (remember “Bus to Beelzebub”?). I still don’t understand that song. Speaking of which…and I know this is a total tangent from my review of Mike’s album but…I’m thinking of using that song title on a regular basis. Here’s an example hypothetical situation…
Co-Worker: Hey Dave. How’s it going?
Me: Dude, I’m swamped right now. More bacon than the pan can handle.
Co-Worker: Dude, that sucks.
Me: Yeah, I dunno. I guess I just consider it job security.
Co-Worker: Uh-huh. Whatever.
The phrase just flows off your tongue…more bacon than the pan can handle. Mmm…yeah. Anyway, Stacy and I are going to see Mr. Doughty at First Ave. in March. We got a hotel downtown and we’re making a weekend of it and going to both shows (March 22nd and 23rd). It will be a nice getaway for just the two of us and I finally get to ride the Northstar Light Rail which, by the way, I am completely fascinated with. Don’t ask my why, but I just find light rail transit to be mind-blowingly interesting. Yes, I am strange.
In other news, I rebuilt my LEGO Starbucks this weekend and it will be debuting at the La Crosse Model Train Show in two weeks (March 8th & 9th). Now the LEGO minifi
