PLEASE Let's talk about the Harry Potter Legos
DID RUNAWAY REALLY DO THIS?! REALLY?!
Re: PLEASE Let's talk about the Harry Potter Legos
In regards to runawaywifey:
I don't know if that was some sort of joke that I missed or if this (or something similar) really happened, but I soooo hope it did.
That would be so awesome.
I have a friend who has a new BF and he plays with Star Wars legos. They went to Walmart and he ran around doing the whoosh noise with a light saber. She's 37.
I don't think she ever mentioned what exactly she was hiding behind but yes, homegirl absolutely and unequivocably did hide in a toy store of all places. She said she didn't know what to say that wouldn't be embarrassing since mr man's child was with him.
I mean I don't know about you but at eight, I had only the smallest understanding of sexual intercourse. And even though my mother was a single parent, it certainly never occured to me to think she'd so much as tongue kissed every guy who said hi to her.
In fact, in a toy store, I'd be more focused on when the hell these two were going to stop talking so we could pay for my new cabbage patch already. OMG, SHUT UP MOMMY!
Click me, click me!
There is no shame in playing with Legos. I think that's why I love Minecraft so much. Of course, I don't think I've actually played with Legos in a decade. And I've never hidden behind any.
There is, however, shame in making a public fool of yourself. Make the light saber noises in the safety of your own home.
This isn't nearly as cool of my image of her cowering naked behind Hogwarts, but I still approve.
Yes. Please don't run into the lego store while nearly knocking over the small children and jumping up and down for the latest add-on thing whatever to your collection. And then proceed to move all her shiit out of her living room to make your very own Star Wars Lego room. And then have the gall to tell the kids this is the adult's room now.
WTF, this is a joke, right? I mean, I had one of those square folding tables in my room when I was 10/11, and it was my Lego table, and I had a HUGE LEGO CITY and one time my parents even bought me the wild west fort set for Christmas, and all of my Lego people had deep relationships with each other, even the skeleton who had no arms because I lost them (the skeletons who still had arms were still evil). But, you know, I was 10/11. And that was probably still kind of old for that, but I was a weird kid.
NO. No joke. The friend who is always asking me for $$ got herself a new BF. Neither work, there are 2 kids in the house, and she called one day (a couple months ago) to tell me she was so embarrassed because of what he did at Walmart and then she woke up (at 2 pm) to find he had emptied the living room to make it into his Star Wars Room. He spent all day building legos etc and put them into curio cabinets and stuffed the living room stuff into the half-finished garage. And hung up a sheet to make the kids not walk into his sanctum.
I thought she was messing with me. She was serious.
I thought you were breaking away from her? This is fantastic. This guy is awesome. Also, was "sanctum" his word or yours?
...Actually, my wedding cake topper was made out of Legos. I made it. But it was cute and whimsical! Besides, I was still young enough to play with them.
Seriously, though...I've built a lot of cool stuff out of Legos, but nothing that belongs in curios. Unless he is doing stuff like this, maybe:
Yes, that entire thing is made of Legos. And it is LIFE-SIZED. Yeah. If he does that, he is so off the hook.
Killjoy.
If you can't play in a toy store, where the fuuk are you supposed to play? Besides, Robert Loggia might be hanging out, waiting to give you a job.
Click me, click me!
Sanctum was his word. lol
I have broken off from her, the lego thing just reminded me of the situation. He does not build awesomeness like this. He's a child and she is his mommy and neither of them want to work. The poor kids are left to fend for themselves.
Legos are cool, and some of this shiit is amazing.
You have kids. People won't start steering away from you. Hell, now that my hair is red and blue, I have women pulling their purses closer to them in public. Making Star Wars noises would really not go over well.
Robert Loggia wouldn't be hanging around in Missouri anyway...actually, maybe he would. Apparently he graduated from the university here. In 1951, maybe, but you know...homecoming is next weekend. Maybe I need to hang out at Toys R Us and make light saber noises after all.
BIG, BIITCH!! HAVEN'T YOU EVER SEEN BIG!?!?!?!
I had hot pink hair once upon a time. No one clutched their purses.
Click me, click me!
I goooooooooot the Big reference. I goooooooot it. But then I decided to wiki him because "Hey, is he even still alive?" And there it was. He might be in town THIS VERY WEEKEND. And I can magically become a grown up, just like Tom Hanks.
ETA: So if it's not my hair, what is scaring these ladies? Black video game shirts? My hulking 5'6" 130lb frame? I think it's that last one.
I have no idea. I wear black band tees and have a hulking 5'7 135lb (prepregnancy) frame. So beats me. Maybe you're just a scary looking person.
I mean if a black lady with two kids and hot pink hair doesn't make you purse clutchy, you must be carrying a gun or something.
Click me, click me!
Hm...the pigtails? Are pigtails intimidating? I bet that's it.
Did you have pink hair the same time Pinky had pink hair? Did Pinky have pink hair, or am I imagining this?
Dude, the conversation had moved on, this sort of crap just brings it back up again.
Are you TRYING to make people talk about it?
She had pink hair for a while. I kept promising her I'd dye it for her after school got out. So I did. Hilariously, I had no idea her father was dating anyone, much less planned to get married that summer and sent miss ma'am to her daddy with hot pink hair days before the wedding.
I take great comfort in this somehow.
And runaway, you is a liar, liar pants on fire. EVERYONE remembers that story and we had an entire thread filled with confusion, gigglesnorts, and bewilderment over it that followed for a few days. Made it up, my ass. Do you just not remember the things that sail off your fingers? I'm just wondering.
Click me, click me!
I distinctly remember you telling the "hiding in the toy store" story. Are you trying to say it never happened??
Lying liar who lies.
I really thought this thread was going to be about actual HP legos. I am now disappointed.
Should I be hiding from the little dude on the regular then? I have sex with his dad all the time. He has some trains and boxes of cars I could use as a shield. Or maybe his toy work bench.
Also, Pinky showing up to her dad's wedding with hot pink hair FTW.

yanked from the aether by lying liars, indeed.
Love you!
This is a serious question, RW, because I don't think you're a bad person but I do find myself baffled by a lot of the things you post.
WHY would you hide from a child in a toy store?
You made my morning, thank you!
Made Up: some misguided worry that his child would be able to sense she rubbed bits with the kid's dad.
Made Up: She said she didn't know what to say that wouldn't be embarrassing since mr man's child was with him.
Not made up: she hid from a child in Toys R Us.
I mean, just so we're clear.
Oh, come on. You know that HS didn't mean it EXACTLY LIKE THAT. You're splitting hairs to make it look like we're tearing things apart. Why did you hide from him? You hid because you hadn't met his kid, and you didn't want it to be awkward for the kid to meet his dad's girlfriend in those circumstances. I think that, in HS speak, that translates to exactly what she said.
