    There is actually an official clarification from LEGO that the 99 years is definitely not a hard upper limit.

      It’s for their safety. At that age the might build a sentient robot that votes for Trump who will then take away their social security. Thank you Lego, for responsible toy stewartship.

      Jeez. Even my dog who loved her Koosh ball was only 98 in dog years when she died. They’re apparently making them for tortoises.

    Over a 100 years old, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You’re gonna throw him in jail? He doesn’t even know if he’ll live for another hour.

        Pardon my ignorance - what’s ‘play with my nuts’ a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?

          They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldn’t benefit it during his time in office.

    Do YOU want to tell Jimmy Carter what he can and can’t play with?

    I didn’t think so.

          “I Antagonized Jimmy Carter Over the Internet And Now I’m In Another World But I’m a Peanut That Farms and Also There’s A Demon King?!?!?!?!?!”

          Totally underrated series that really picks up in Season 4.

    I find “LEGOs” very upsetting.

    Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.

    Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.

    “You can’t play with Lego anymore.”

      fuck that. Lego is a company and I don’t need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don’t like it they can suck my dick.

      I really don’t understand why there are so many people passionate about how to “properly” use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

      just play with your Legos and get over it

        I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

          that’s even worse! especially because the vast majority of self proclaimed “grammar nazis” (really weird fucking title, guys) don’t know shit about linguistics as a science

          Legos is grammatically correct.

            No, that’s Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.

              no, that’s Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.

            Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.
