You should come over this weekend, We can watch something.
Sure, I guess.
Is there something wrong with my place?
Well you have no where to sit.
That’s not…
You had a nice couch but you set fire to it, remember?
Well yeah, but I’ve fixed that.
You fixed the burnt up couch?
No I replaced it.
Oh, cool, new couch break in time!
Well right now it’s a recliner and footstool and side table, but sure, we can do couch.
Your new furniture transforms?
Sort of! I made it.
No! Not out of..
Lego? Damn right.
Your new couch is Lego.
Yup. Well, my new living room furniture is Lego.
And while that sounds kind of cool, I just worry…
The load bearing is up to par.
If you say so. But also that can’t be comfy.
It has cushions.
they have little Lego holes in the bottom to keep in place, don’t they?
Of course!
It’s just so odd. And doesn’t it fall apart?
Not by accident much, no.
Much?
Well, most people use glue for this sort of use case but I wanted to be able to change my mind about things and so I use untouched bricks. So, well, yes. It can fly apart.
And you want me to sit on this?
Yep! Sit. Not tackle it, or kick it.
One good sneeze and we end up on the floor, spilled beer, bricks stuck to our backs like shrapnel.
It won’t be like that!
Has it ever collapsed on you?
That has nothing…
So yes.
Hmph!
You know what. I’ll bring a folding chair.

[Jake: You had a nice 'cough' but you set fire to it, remember?]
I think you mean ‘couch’
Sorry if this makes me sound all pretentious and snooty, I don’t know how to inform you of a possible spelling error without sounding like a bitch LOL.

Line 6: Should be Couch, not Cough.
I could totally see having lego lamps, decorations, or maybe a bed-side table, but I don’t think I could actually sit on a lego couch. Too paranoid.

Becca: It’s all good, sometimes typos slip. This is how I find out, so thanks! It’s helpful.
Doug: I’m with you on that.

Damn…. Now I have to go buy a ton of Legos, just to find out if it works… Fun fact, even though LEGO is originally a danish firm, it’s more expensive here than in most of the rest of the world :/

DFJ: Really? That’s horrible! Who would deprive themselves of cheap Lego? (Not that it’s CHEAP here either)
March 17th, 2011 on 9:31 am
Yeah, I think the problem here is that people will buy lego over any of the cheaper knock -offs any day, because “it’s danish”, which basically means they can charge us more without fear of not selling their products… We kind of brought it on ourselves:P
March 17th, 2011 on 9:32 am
Ooch yeah that’s always a problem. Also should you try the couch thing – seriously – GLUE.
March 17th, 2011 on 9:39 am
Hah, I can imagine xD I can already see my livingroom floor, covered in multicolored lego! not a pretty sight…
March 17th, 2011 on 9:39 am
Those things are sharp!
March 17th, 2011 on 9:47 am
They are probably one of the most hazardous toys around! Sharp, hard, dangerous to swallow, easy to overlook and subsequently fall over! Those things are deathtraps! (I smell a conspiracy theory coming up)

On a related note, go looking on Youtube (or your downloading site of choice) for episode 5 of James May’s Toy Stories. They attempt and to a certain attempt succeed in building a house and furniture out of Lego. Granted there are some shortcuts along the way but still. House! Made from Lego! With furniture!

NICE!
March 17th, 2011 on 1:14 pm
Yeah, even with the shortcuts taken into consideration it was still pretty awesome.
