thank you danish people
by John Galt » Thu Dec 12, 2013 6:42 pm
because of a situation where my parents illegally entered my home and "cleaned" it for me earlier this year in order to rifle through my things (we're not getting into this story right now), i had not located the 12 tins of royal dansk cookies i bought at walmart last boxing day for a dollar a piece and they had fallen from my memory. that is, until when i went in search of fancy containers for other holiday treats this year. i found my tins, and the 'best if eaten by' date is still a year away. and that's bullshit date anyway, these things would last at least another five years if not a decade, easy. but they won't last that long, no no. I f**k LOVE ROYAL DANSK COOKIES. and you know what else i love? legos. i have a shitton of legos at my house actually. i have a 150 dollar set i have yet to build still in the box (i will soon, just, things get in the way). no it's not childish. anyway, as i'm pretty sure that butter cookies and legos are the only two things denmark exports, i'd like to thank the dane who has worked undoubtedly worked tirelessly to bring me these things. happy holidays.

What's interesting about this is the most fascinating part of your story is simultaneously completely irrelevant to the rest of your story, and a topic you've declared off limits.

i also enjoy legos a lot. anyone that thinks building things is childish is in fact mentally stunted.

Thinking about getting one of those kits for my nephews, of course I'll be supervising the project.

Technically, Lego is the brand name and the plural of the product name is Lego Brand Bricks(TM) or some such inanity.
Just saying. Its one of those asinine pedantic things we could argue in circles forever.
Much like .gif or .jif. Which is my personal all time favorite.
Now I want cookies.
