For the Astros fan who thought he had everything

I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Sorry, I see the ambiguity in my phrasing now. I meant "somebody here is going to buy this, who's it going to be?". And MM has provided our answer. I might join him. I can set it next to my Lego Saturn V.

It was not too long ago Mark Raup would have been all over that.

I was thinking more in terms of who has already gone for this.

I have a Texans helmet from this company, and it's damn near impossible to put together.  The pieces resemble Legos, but they don't snap together, they just sort of loosely fit.  Once you take your hand off of them, they don't stay together.  You have to use tweezers to build it up, but if you try to move it in any way, or a piece slips out of the tweezers, it crumbles.  It's essentially a house of cards made out of cheap Lego clones.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

You need to use the KRAGL.

FWIW, my 8-year-old son got the star-H logo for Christmas. We put it together together, and it's held together reasonably well (better than most Lego imitators).
