Opinion of building blocks

I preferred using toothpicks as a 5 year old kid

Did you know that using a toothpick as we do in Missouri - to keep in your mouth for hours as a kind of accessory, and to point at this that and the other thing (from the back-40 to an attractive cowgirl passing by)  - is considered one of the most impolite things you can do here in Thailand.  Not as impolite as things involving the feet, but pretty close.

One time I was riding in a song-taew, playing around with a toothpick as I am wont to do, and the damn thing escaped me, falling on the head of another passenger.  Major faux-pas, for sure!

A city destroyed is merely an opportunity to create another.

I'm happy to see your moving - however incrementally - toward a better understanding of economics.

Please don't tell me that Oakvale, Bacon and I were the only ones to get it?

Everybody got it, I just found Torie's post interesting. 

Come to think of it Torie, my mom used to buy us a huge supply of tongue-depressors, which is pretty weird when you think about it.  But they were awfully fun for building things.
