Ever wanted to live in a house? Yeah, me too. The idea of being a transient carries with it all manner of icky diseases and social stigma I’d rather avoid. Ever wanted to live… in a LEGO HOUSE? Well, it turns out this fantasy might not be too far off from happening.
“James May of the British television show Top Gear is planning to build a full-sized house out of LEGOs:
On Friday, more than three million Lego bricks were delivered to the vineyard in preparation for the task.
Denbies marketing and business development manager, Jeanette Simpson, said: “The millions of bricks came all the way from the Czech Republic. The house will be life-size with a staircase, toilet and shower.”
Wait, hang on… James May? Top Gear? You mean I have to live in some bricks-and-mortar piece of shit, and the Lego house goes to THIS guy?
GET A HAIRCUT, YOU FUCKER.
Alright. I concede I’m probably just angry on account of this filthy, unkempt hippy revhead and his pending palatial plastic palace. But if I weren’t fuming with righteous anger, what kind of a building-block afficianado would I be? A failed one, that’s what. The best part of this story, however, is the line “more than three million Lego bricks were delivered to the vineyard”. Which sounds like code. Either James May’s Lego has arrived, or the sniper is in place, ready to take out the mark.
(I am in no way implying that in a fit of jealous rage, I plan on hiring a sniper to kill James May in his vineyard with a bullet made of lego. If the cops were to find the bullet, they’d very quickly be able to put the pieces together. ZING! Zing? Ahh.)

As a child I dearly wanted to escape my soul-destroying earthly existence in a space-ship/Tardis made from lego, but abandoned my plans due to the technical limitations of Lego as a building material. This news gives me fresh hopes. I thank you.

An Enterprise made out of Lego. Now that would be cool.

Paul – I’m sure with several million lego bricks, James wont be able to do it all himself. Why don’t you put your hand up to help? He might let you spoon him while you slumber together within the chilly plastic walls.
You could make a life together.
