What you meant to say was 'Lego blocks', or 'Lego sets'. Lego is a company name and registered trademark, their product are Lego sets which contain a dozen to a few hundred Lego blocks.

You guys ever have TAZO's and ODD BODZ (late 90s)? It was also a time when you had weekend sport and no weekend homework/assignments *angry*. The internet was something you got on at most 7 hours a month, and used to look up websites which actually contained information worth reading. Message Boards didn't exist. XHTML was a pipe-dream. A 33.6kbps modem was the thing bps was still called baud Nursery Rhymes weren't banned due to possible racist interpretations by adults, I mean look at how racist we grew up to be! ;P You would try and get a coveted metal tazo slammer. You tried to collect all the glow in the dark pogs and odd bodz. The Y2k bug would destroy us all. computer games were about fun, not graphics. Your computer would actually crash devil sticks were in then yoyos and those other things and those delayed pop up things you would take a birthday cake to school Maxis weren't owned by EA you knew all the cheats to sim city 2000 When the grocery store would carry all your favourite brands When the grocery store actually carried normal flavours of ice cream If I didn’t feel old already, *cries*
