In case of LEGO emergency, break glass
Have you ever broken a fingernail trying to pull two LEGO bricks apart? Ever resorted to a butter knife? Teeth? What you needed was a Brick Separator.
For all those building emergencies, Andrew Summersgill (Doctor Sinister) has the solution:
Not coincidentally, Andrew is also running for chairman of The Brickish Association. Here’s a campaign poster that perfectly sums up my own approach to LEGO — FUN is not a four-letter word!
Hey Andrew, I’ll be expecting that wire transfer for £19,999,999.99 into my offshore account any day now…

What do you mean “resort” to a butter knife? I’ve had the same butter knife on hand since 1978 for things the brick separator just can’t handle. I can’t get a tile that’s surrounded on three sides by tiles out of the middle of a baseplate with no brick separator.
I’m don’t live in the UK, but you can’t do much better than “Vote Sinister” for a campaign slogan.

Yeah, try using that darn brick separator when you stuck a technic half pin down to the bottom of one of those older antenna pieces.
I’d vote sinister, but I’m not brickish either. Tcha.

I’d vote for him with a poster like that.

Thank you Brothers Brick for giving my election campaign a real shot in the arm!
Thank you also for the kind words expressed in the comments here.

Reminds me of http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidtcook/3225302082/ which was built during Brickvention 2009 earlier this year.

Legeaux,
Thanks.. I remembered the image too but, I couldn’t place who posted their creation. Now I know I’m not crazy

“Vote” is a four-letter word.

So is “LEGO”. Ha!
