Back in 'Nam my unit and I were pinned down somethin' fierce by Charlie. We were low on ammo but Chick Pea (don't remember his real name) had some of them there LEGO's, the little angled pieces that most kids throw out. All different colors on top of that! Well let me tell you what... A handful of them there pointy LEGO's and some plastic explosive created a claymore mine that MacGyver couldn't even spit out in his best jungle dream. They saved our lives that day. God bless them LEGO's!

  You ARE kidding, right? The coolest toy of all time is competing against a funky, neon-colored, crumbling, oversized sink sponge?!? Go, Lego's!

  Experiences:

  Owned: Lots and lots of Lego's, Several Nerf Balls (most of my Nerf footballs were lime green for some reason I cannot explain...) Satisfaction level: Both products exceeded expectations. Bill Walton has not.

  Current Status: After almost three decades of use, the Lego's are still in use by younger relatives. Nerf football number one has long since rotted away after escaping into a sewer drain, two and three died sun-related crumbling deaths culminating in a trip to the dumpster, and several others reached various states of decay before being lost or stolen from the yard. None of my Nerfs are known to have survived to see the 1990's.

  I have been a vocal supporter of Lego's, and I will not waver now! Lego's rule! Nobody goes to amusement parks or malls to see 18 foot tall Nerf Ball Godzilla's! And don't even try to make a castle or space station from Nerf! Can't be done!

  Uden et presserende behov for at ansætte nye medarbejdere indrykkede LEGO en helsidesannonce i Ingeniørens jobsektion. Budskabet var koncernens mission: "LEGO varemærket skal senest 2005 være det stærkeste varemærke i verden blandt familier med børn". Herefter citeres LEGO's leder, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen: "LEGO skal være en virksomhed, der sprudler. Her skal være, som når børnene går i gang med at lege med én af vores æsker. Vores univers er sjove og udviklende produkter, der udfordrer og stimulerer børns fantasi og kreativitet".

  Lego's will prevail!

  Lego is totally going to have an advantage on this thing because kids who used to play with Legos are staring at their computer screens while kids who played with Nerfball are out kissing girls. Vote for Nerf anyway!

  The views expressed by Eric Of Leroy do not in any way represent the views of the Leroy Crew. (Not even close!) His are the ravings of a madman, and he should be considered extremely dangerous. Truth be told, Eric's hatred of Nerf stems from an incident involving his 2-year old daughter. Long story short - she threw it, he couldn't catch it, it hit him, he cried...not pretty. Nerf Up! Knock some blocks!

NERF = Never Ending Radical Fun
LEGO = Ludicrous Entry Greatly Overrated

Legos ... just a drop in the bucket. Not only will Nerf DOMINATE this game, they will also SOAR in the punt, pass and kick contest!
